Our Chicago crew begins with an HD camera inspection to map the damage and confirm your sewer line is a good candidate for trenchless repair. Not every situation qualifies, and we are honest about that.
Scranton Sewer Authority prepares your Chicago 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 Chicago 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.

Trenchless sewer repair in Chicago 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.
Yes. Trenchless CIPP lining works well on clay pipes in Chicago 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.
Most trenchless sewer repairs in Chicago 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.
Our reputation is built on results. Here is what our customers have to say.
"Very fair company. They quoted a drain snaking, found out it needed hydro jetting instead, and honored the original quote even though jetting costs more. That kind of integrity earns repeat business."
"Our commercial kitchen drains were draining slower and slower. They did a full hydro jetting of the grease lines and cleaned the trap. Everything flows perfectly now. We are setting up quarterly maintenance."
"Called on a Sunday morning when our main drain backed up. Crew arrived within an hour, cleared the clog, and ran a camera to make sure the line was in good shape. Responsive and reliable, even on weekends."
