- 3Trenchless vs traditional sewer repair: when do you actually need to dig?Traditional excavation is sometimes necessary for severe pipe damage, while trenchless methods like CIPP offer a cleaner fix that preserves your lawn. Homeowners often struggle to know whether a spot repair or full-length lining will hold up long-term for issues like root intrusion.
- 2Should I fix sewer line issues before selling my house?Home buyers often demand total replacements or massive repairs for minor pipe inspection findings, making sellers feel pressured to dig up the entire line for trivial amounts of water. This creates high-stakes standoffs that can derail a house sale or leave buyers questioning if they are crazy to take on the property.
