Trenchless Sewer Line Replacement

RenoHouse expertly replaced a failing 22m clay sewer line in Mississauga using trenchless pipe bursting, avoiding any excavation of the homeowner's meticulously maintained front lawn over two days.

Challenge

The primary challenge was replacing a deteriorating 22-meter clay sewer line without disrupting the client's established front yard landscaping. Traditional excavation would have been highly invasive and costly, requiring extensive restoration work. Navigating existing underground utilities while performing the burst was also a key consideration.

Solution

Our team employed the trenchless pipe bursting method, inserting a new 4-inch SDR35 PVC pipe directly through the old clay line. This technique utilized specialized hydraulic equipment to fracture the old pipe while simultaneously pulling the new CSA B182.2 compliant PVC pipe into place, ensuring a durable, long-lasting replacement.

Result

By opting for trenchless replacement, the project was completed in just 2 days, significantly faster than a traditional dig. This method saved the homeowner an estimated $8,000 in landscaping repair costs and minimized inconvenience, providing a new, reliable sewer system with zero impact on their property's aesthetics.

“The trenchless method really saved our lawn, which was a huge relief. The crew did take a bit longer than the initial estimate on day one because of unexpected tree roots, but they really worked hard to make up for it and finished the 22m PVC line replacement by the end of the second day.”
