There are a couple different types of trenchless sewer repair options in Sacramento.

1. Slip lining - Slip lining is a method of trenchless sewer repair. It installs an epoxy liner into the existing sewer system. It essentially is a pipe within a pipe, lining the old sewer pipe with a new inner lining. The epoxy applied to the pipe seals any cracks the old piping had.
2. Pipe bursting - This uses a device to push itself underground from one end of the pipe to the other. The entire time a tool is breaking up the old pipe, while the new replacement pipe follows behind. This effectively destroys the old piece, and replaces it with the new pipe.
3. Cured in Place Pipe (CIPP) - Cured-in-place pipe is a way to insert a flexible liner inside the existing broken pipe. Once the liner is inside, the plumber inflates the liner, exposes it to some sort of heart or ultraviolet light. The heat and light harden the liner inside of the pipe. This forms a smooth surface on the inside of the existing pipe, repairing the once broken pipe to new.
