Two Trenchless Methods. One Standard of Excellence.

We were the first plumbing company in Atlanta to offer true pipe bursting technology, and we remain the only Atlanta-based plumber offering both pipe bursting and precision CIPP lining — with the expertise to know which your situation actually needs.

Pipe bursting is the Gold Standard for full sewer line replacement. Our bursting head fractures the old line from within and pulls brand-new, seamless HDPE pipe into place simultaneously. Root-proof, jointless, and built to last 75–100 years — through two small access points rather than a trench across your yard.

Sewer Pipe Lining — CIPP Technology

CIPP lining is the precision call for three specific situations: shallow interior pipes under slabs where pipe bursting would risk your foundation, targeted spot repairs on an otherwise sound line, or vertical pipes within walls where demolition would be costly. Same 20-year warranty. Same 75–100 year lifespan. Zero excavation.

One camera inspection tells us which tool your situation needs. Most plumbers have one tool. We have both.

The Difference Between Protection and Destruction

Traditional Excavation: The Hidden Cost

When most plumbers replace a sewer line, they dig a 2-to-3-foot-wide trench extending 100+ feet from your house to the street. That trench cuts through everything: your mature landscaping, custom hardscaping, irrigation systems, and the trees that add thousands to your property value.

The sewer repair is only part of the bill. Restoring your property? That's where homeowners face $30,000 to $75,000+ in landscaping and hardscaping restoration.

Trenchless Technology: Surgical Precision

Our trenchless approach requires just two small access points — one near your house, one near the street. Using specialized pipe bursting equipment, we fracture your old sewer line from within while simultaneously pulling a brand-new, root-proof pipe into place.

Your landscaping stays untouched. Your hardscaping remains intact. Your mature trees are protected.

Atlanta's Pipe Bursting and CIPP Lining Specialists

We were the first plumbing company in Atlanta to offer true pipe bursting technology, and we remain the only Atlanta-based plumber offering both pipe bursting and precision CIPP lining — with the expertise to know which your situation actually needs. While national companies may offer trenchless services in Atlanta, we're the local experts who've protected properties in Ansley Park, Virginia-Highland, Midtown, and Buckhead for more than 50 years.

Why Local Ownership Matters

National companies come and go. We live here. We work here. We stand behind our work here. Local ownership means genuine accountability, deep understanding of Atlanta's soil conditions and tree species, and long-term relationships with the neighborhoods we serve.

When your property's most critical infrastructure needs replacement, trust the company that's been part of this community since 1975 — not a national chain that might not be here next year.

More Than 50 Years in Atlanta

Three generations of plumbing expertise serving Atlanta's most distinguished properties. We've seen sewer line technology evolve, and we invest in the best solutions to protect our clients' homes.

Direct Employees Only

Every technician is our employee — licensed, insured, background-checked, and trained on our specialized pipe bursting equipment. No subcontractors handling your premium sewer line replacement.

Video Inspection First

Before recommending any solution, we conduct a thorough video inspection of your sewer line. You'll see exactly what we see, and we'll explain your options honestly. Not every situation requires trenchless technology, and we'll tell you if a simpler solution exists.

Upfront Pricing

You'll know the complete cost before we start work. No surprises, no hidden fees, no pressure tactics. Just honest assessment and transparent pricing.

What Trenchless Protects

Your property represents years of investment and careful cultivation. Trenchless technology preserves what traditional excavation destroys:

    • Mature landscaping and specimen trees worth thousands
    • Custom hardscaping (patios, walkways, retaining walls)
    • Irrigation systems
    • Driveways and decorative concrete
    • Property value and curb appeal

Traditional excavation doesn't just create a temporary mess — it permanently destroys mature plantings and custom improvements that took years to establish and can cost $30,000 to $75,000 to restore.

Is Trenchless Right for You?

Trenchless makes sense if:

    • You have significant landscaping or hardscaping investments to protect
    • Your property has mature trees near the sewer line path
    • Your sewer line runs under driveways, patios, or structures
    • You want permanent replacement, not temporary coating
    • Your aging sewer line is approaching failure (50+ years old)
    • You value property preservation and long-term solutions

We'll help you decide. Not every sewer line problem requires trenchless replacement. Our plumbers conduct video inspections, assess your property, and explain your options honestly. If traditional repair makes more sense, we'll tell you. If trenchless is the right investment, we'll show you exactly why.

The Tree Root Threat

If your Midtown property has mature trees, your sewer line is at risk. Tree roots follow moisture and find microscopic cracks in aging clay pipes, then grow until pipes collapse completely.

Delaying gives roots more time to cause irreversible damage — turning a proactive replacement into an emergency excavation.

The advantage of planning ahead? You control the timing, method, and budget. You choose trenchless technology that protects your property instead of emergency excavation that destroys it.

Every Underground Arsenal Job Starts Here

Before we recommend pipe bursting, CIPP lining, or any other Underground Arsenal service, we run a high-definition camera through your sewer line. What the camera shows determines everything — the location and severity of damage, whether the line needs full replacement or targeted restoration, whether a professional hydro jetting service can resolve the problem without replacement, or whether a sewer line cleanout is the right first step. No matter what your sewer camera inspection reveals, our licensed master plumbers have the tools and expertise to handle it — from sewer cleaning and maintenance to complete sewer line replacement. No assumptions, no unnecessary work, no recommendation that isn't grounded in what we actually see.

Common Questions

Do you offer emergency sewer line service? Yes, 24/7. If your sewer line fails, call 404.873.1881 anytime. We can often complete trenchless replacement within 1-2 days, minimizing disruption to your property and your life.

How much does trenchless sewer replacement cost? Every property is different based on sewer line length, depth, soil conditions, and access points. We provide upfront pricing after video inspection and site assessment. While trenchless costs more than traditional excavation initially, you avoid the $30,000-$75,000+ landscaping restoration that follows traditional methods. When you factor in property restoration costs, trenchless is often less expensive overall — and always less disruptive.

What's involved in the process? We dig two small access pits (typically 4x4 feet) at strategic points. We insert our pipe bursting equipment into your existing sewer line, fracture the old pipe, and simultaneously pull new pipe into place. Most residential projects complete in 1-2 days. Your landscaping remains untouched throughout.

What's the difference between pipe bursting and CIPP lining? Both are trenchless methods that avoid excavation, but they serve different situations. Pipe bursting installs completely new HDPE pipe underground — the right call for full sewer lateral replacement. CIPP lining creates a structurally sound pipe within your existing line — ideal for targeted repairs, shallow interior pipes under slabs, or pipes within walls. Both carry our 20-year comprehensive warranty and a proven 75–100 year lifespan. A camera inspection tells us which method is right for your property.

How long does the new pipe last? The pipe we install is designed to last 75-100 years. It's root-proof, corrosion-resistant, and significantly stronger than the clay pipes we're replacing. You're investing in a solution that outlasts your home ownership.

Can trenchless work on my property? Most Atlanta properties are excellent candidates for trenchless replacement. After video inspection, we'll confirm whether your sewer line's depth, path, and condition allow trenchless methods. In rare cases where trenchless isn't feasible, we'll explain why and discuss alternatives.

What makes you different from national companies offering trenchless? We were the first plumbing company in Atlanta to offer true pipe bursting technology, and we remain the only Atlanta-based plumber offering both pipe bursting and precision CIPP lining.

What areas do you serve? Midtown Atlanta and surrounding neighborhoods including Ansley Park, Candler Park, Inman Park, Lenox Park, Piedmont Heights, Virginia-Highland, Buckhead, Brookhaven, Dunwoody, Decatur, and Avondale Estates.
