Scranton Sewer Authority prepares your South Portland sewer line for trenchless repair by thoroughly cleaning the interior. Roots, grease, and scale are removed with hydro jetting so the liner or burst head can do its job perfectly.
For CIPP lining, we pull a resin-saturated liner through the pipe and cure it in place with steam or UV light. For pipe bursting, we pull a new pipe through while simultaneously breaking the old one apart.
Our South Portland crew runs a final camera through the repaired line to confirm perfect installation. We show you the footage so you can see the smooth, jointless interior of your rehabilitated sewer pipe.
What South Portland property owners want to know about trenchless sewer repair — answered by our experts.
Trenchless sewer repair in South Portland typically costs $4,000 to $12,000 depending on pipe length, diameter, and damage extent. While the repair itself may cost more than excavation, total project cost is often lower because you avoid landscaping, driveway, and hardscape restoration.
Most trenchless sewer repairs in South Portland are completed in a single day. CIPP lining cure times range from 2 to 6 hours, and pipe bursting installations are typically done in 4 to 8 hours. Compare that to 3 to 5 days for traditional excavation.
Yes. Trenchless CIPP lining works well on clay pipes in South Portland because it creates a new pipe inside the old one, sealing all cracks and joint separations. Pipe bursting also works on clay by fracturing the old pipe and pulling new HDPE through.
Minimal. CIPP lining typically requires no excavation if a cleanout exists. Pipe bursting requires two small access pits at each end of the repair. Both methods avoid the full-length trench that traditional replacement requires.
