Sewer Lines Under Salt Lake City Homes
In Salt Lake City, winter frost reaches well into the ground, which makes excavation slow and hard on the yard. Lining and bursting need only small access points.
What we run into in Salt Lake City
- Basement exits. Basement floor drains are usually the first place a failing sewer line shows itself, because they are the lowest opening in the house.
- Deep frost. Freeze-thaw cycles move the soil around older pipe and open joints. Trenchless repair can go ahead without a long frozen trench.

When people phone about trenchless sewer line repair in Salt Lake City, UT, the line nearly always has one of these faults. Each has its own best method.
Roots in the line
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
Cast iron scales and rots from inside, and Orangeburg flattens. Cast iron is often lined; Orangeburg is usually burst.
Backup in the lowest drain
Sewage rising in a floor drain, shower or basement fixture is the line telling you it cannot carry the flow.
Clogs that keep coming back
If the line needs snaking every few months, something in the pipe, usually roots or a break, is catching waste.
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.

Line It or Burst It? Deciding in Salt Lake City
Lining suits a pipe that still holds its shape: cracks, root entry, corrosion and small offsets. Bursting suits a pipe that is collapsed, flattened or too small, because it replaces the line rather than coating it.

How long does trenchless pipe lining last?
A cured-in-place liner is designed for roughly 50 years of service, and a burst-in HDPE line for 50 to 100.
