Very impressed with the work they did. Our main sewer line broke and settled right outside the foundation. This was a major problem as the line was under an outdoor kitchen, bathroom and concrete pad. 3 contractors said only way to fix it was to tear everything out and put a big trench through the concrete. These "Guys" were able to burst the old pipe and pull a new pipe through to get everything fixed in a day. Incredible. The other contractors were amazed that this was even an option. Could barely tell anything was done at the end.

Expert Collapsed Sewer Laterals in Wooster, OH
A collapsed sewer lateral is one of the most disruptive pipe failures a Wooster homeowner can face. When the pipe fully caves in, waste has nowhere to go. Sewage backs up into the home, and the problem will not fix itself. At The Trenchless Guys, we start with a camera inspection to confirm the collapse location and extent. From there, we use pipe bursting to pull a new line through the old path without open trenching. This matters in Wooster because many mid-century homes sit on vitrified clay tile laterals that have spent decades under Wayne County's glacial clay soil. That soil swells in spring and contracts in dry summers, grinding away at rigid pipe joints year after year. When a lateral finally gives out, trenchless pipe bursting lets us replace the full run with minimal disruption to your lawn, driveway, or landscaping. If your drains have stopped working or sewage is backing up, call The Trenchless Guys to get a clear diagnosis and a straight path to repair.

Collapsed Sewer Laterals FAQ
Common questions about collapsed sewer laterals in Wooster, OH.
