Trenchless Sewer Repair in University Place: what is different here
Some University Place homes from the 1960s to 1980s sit on slopes with long sewer runs down to the street, near Chambers Bay and the Grandview area among others. Digging all that up is costly. We reach UP in about 25 minutes by SR 16 or I-5 to Bridgeport Way, and camera the full length first.

Trenchless Sewer Repair questions in University Place
Lining and pipe bursting are often a good fit for long runs, since the new pipe goes in from small access points instead of a trench down the hill. The camera first maps the whole line and any problem spots. Not every line qualifies. Check with the City of University Place about requirements.
Here is what is typical once we are on site. Camera inspection: typically 1 to 2 hours. Pipe lining: typically 1 to 2 days. University Place is about 25 minutes from our base via SR 16 or I-5 to Bridgeport Way. We confirm timing with you when you book.
A camera inspection tells us. Lining needs a pipe that still holds its shape, even if it is cracked or has roots in the joints. If the line has collapsed or sags badly, a liner may not work. We show you the video and explain your options.
