Sewer Lines Under Reston Homes
Many Reston sewer laterals run under front lawns, driveways and landscaping to the main, which is where trenchless repair saves the most restoration.
What we run into in Reston
- Tree roots. Yard and street trees around Reston have had decades to find the sewer line. Recurring backups after every snaking usually mean roots.
- Aging pipe. Older homes here were built with clay, cast iron or, in some decades, Orangeburg fiber pipe. Each fails in its own way, and the camera shows which one you have.

Call (833) 529-2616Trenchless Methods We Use in Reston
Pipe lining (CIPP)
Cracked, rooted or corroded lines get a new pipe formed inside the old one, with no trench along the route.
Pipe bursting
Collapsed, flattened or undersized lines are replaced along the same path, often at the same size or one up.
Spot repairs
When the camera finds a single bad section, a 3 to 10 foot patch liner fixes it without lining the whole run.

Sewer Line Failures We See Around Reston
Calls for trenchless sewer line repair in Reston, VA usually begin with one of the problems below, and the camera decides which fix fits.
Root intrusion at the joints
Cutting roots clears the pipe for a while; a liner removes the joints they get through, so they stay out.
Breaks and shifted joints
Cracks, holes and joints that have slipped out of line leak and snag waste. Lining covers them with new pipe.
Corroded or collapsing pipe
Old pipe that is scaling, flaking or losing its round shape is relined if it still holds its form, or replaced by bursting.
Soggy or extra-green strip
A wet patch or a stripe of greener grass along the line's path is often a leak feeding the lawn.
A dip in the yard or drive
Soil washing into a broken pipe can leave a depression or a small sinkhole above it.
Water standing in the line
A camera that shows water pooling in one stretch has found a belly, which affects which method can be used.
Can't tell which one you have? Describe what the drains are doing, and the likely cause comes back on the call.
Line It or Burst It? Deciding in Reston
If the old pipe is intact enough for a liner to follow, lining is usually the least disruptive fix. Where it is crushed, Orangeburg or badly out of round, pipe bursting pulls a new HDPE line through the same route.

Ring us. A sewer technician picks up, and quoting over the phone costs nothing.
Call (833) 529-2616How much does trenchless sewer line repair in Reston, VA cost?
Most lines cost an estimated $4,000 to $15,000 to line or burst, or about $80 to $250 per foot. A spot repair is estimated at $1,500 to $4,000, and the camera inspection at $150 to $500. Whatever the method, the price is agreed in writing before work begins.
How long does trenchless pipe lining last?
Cured-in-place liners are engineered for about 50 years. HDPE pipe pulled in by bursting is rated for 50 to 100 years.
What are the disadvantages of trenchless pipe lining?
Lining cannot pass a full collapse or lift a sagging section, and it takes a little off the inside diameter. Bursting or a targeted dig handles those.
Can a sewer line be replaced without digging?
Mostly, yes. Expect one or two small pits rather than a trench, and sometimes only a cleanout.
