About this service
What Trenchless Sewer Repair in Marietta, Georgia Actually Involves
Trenchless sewer repair in Marietta, Georgia is a method of rebuilding or replacing a failing underground sewer line with minimal surface excavation. Instead of digging a continuous trench from the house to the city main, we work through one or two small access pits, usually at the existing cleanout. From there we either pull a cured-in-place pipe liner through the old pipe or use a pipe bursting machine to pull new HDPE pipe while breaking the old clay or cast iron apart underground. The line is restored from the inside out.
Most calls we run in Marietta come from one of three problems: tree root intrusion in old clay tile sewer pipe, a sagging or bellied line under a driveway, or Orangeburg pipe that has simply rotted out. If you have recurring sewer clogs every few months, that is usually the first sign. A trenchless sewer line repair Marietta GA homeowners schedule early often avoids a full excavation later. We camera the line, locate the problem with a sewer line locator transmitter, and tell you honestly whether a spot repair or a full replacement is the right call.

What's included
What Is Included in a Trenchless Sewer Repair
Every trenchless job we quote includes the camera inspection, the cleaning, the access pits, the liner or new pipe, the pressure test, and the backfill. If something on your line falls outside that scope, we tell you before we start, not after.
High-Pressure Line Cleaning
A hydro jetter at 3,000 to 4,000 PSI scours the pipe wall and clears roots, grease, and scale. We follow with a chain cutter or Picote milling head on cast iron. A liner will not bond to a dirty pipe, so this step is not optional.
Access Pit Excavation
We dig one or two pits, usually 3 feet by 3 feet, at the cleanout and city connection. We hand-dig near utilities and use a mini excavator only where locates are clear. Pits are backfilled and compacted before we leave.
Liner or New Pipe Installation
Either a CIPP liner is inverted and cured in place, or new HDPE pipe is pulled through a bursting head. Both restore full flow. The method depends on pipe condition, material, and how many offset joints the camera found.
Pressure Test and Final Camera
We pressure-test the finished line and run the camera one more time so you can see the new wall and the joints. You get the footage, the permit sign-off, and a written summary of what was replaced.
Permit and Site Cleanup
We pull the local Georgia plumbing permit ourselves and handle the inspection. Sod is replaced over the pits, and the site is raked and washed down. Most jobs are buttoned up by end of day two.
How it works
How Our Trenchless Sewer Repair Process Works
We run a RIDGID sewer camera from the cleanout to the city main and record the whole pass. You watch the monitor with us. We mark the depth, the material, and the exact location of every root mass, offset joint, or collapsed section with a sewer line locator transmitter. This takes 30 to 45 minutes on a typical Marietta home.
Before any liner goes in, the pipe has to be clean. We use a hydro jetter at 3,000 to 4,000 PSI to cut roots and flush grease buildup, then follow with a chain cutter or Picote milling head on tougher cast iron corrosion. A clean pipe is the difference between a liner that bonds and one that fails in two years.
We dig one or two small pits, usually 3 feet by 3 feet, at the cleanout and at the city connection. On a trenchless sewer replacement contractor Marietta job, that is the only excavation on the property. We hand-dig near gas and water lines and use a mini excavator only where the locates are clear.
For pipe lining and bursting Marietta work, we either invert a CIPP liner through the pipe and cure it with steam or UV, or we pull new HDPE pipe through a bursting head that shatters the old clay or cast iron outward. Both methods restore full flow. The choice depends on the pipe condition and how many offset joints we found.
We pressure-test the new line, run the camera one more time, and backfill the pits with compacted native soil. You get the footage, the permit sign-off, and a written summary of what was replaced. Most jobs are buttoned up by end of day two.

Tools & methods
Tools and Methods We Use on Every Job
RIDGID Sewer Camera
Records the full pass from cleanout to city main so we can see pipe material, depth, root masses, and offset joints before quoting. You watch the monitor with us.
Hydro Jetter
Delivers 3,000 to 4,000 PSI of water to scour grease, scale, and roots off the pipe wall. A clean pipe is what lets a CIPP liner bond properly.
Pipe Bursting Machine
Pulls a bursting head and new HDPE pipe through the old clay or cast iron, shattering the old pipe outward into the soil. Used when the line is too far gone for lining.
CIPP Liner Inversion Drum
Inverts the resin-saturated felt liner through the cleaned pipe and holds it against the wall while it cures. This is the core of pipe lining and bursting Marietta work.
Sewer Line Locator Transmitter
Marks the exact path and depth of the sewer line on the surface so the mini excavator stays clear of gas, water, and fiber on tight Marietta lots.
Mini Excavator
Digs the access pits where a full-size machine will not fit. We use it only where locates are clear and hand-dig near utilities.

Trenchless Sewer Repair
Root-Choked Clay Line in Historic Marietta
A 1948 home near the Square had backed up every spring for four years. The clay line had roots at six joints and the homeowner was on a first-name basis with a drain snake auger company. Camera footage showed 40 feet of separated joints.
After: We cut the roots, milled the joints, and lined 42 feet of pipe with a CIPP liner in one day. The final camera pass showed a smooth wall with no gaps. Fourteen months later, no backups.

Trenchless Sewer Repair
Collapsed Line Under a West Marietta Driveway
A collapsed section under a poured concrete driveway blocked flow completely. The homeowner had been quoted an open-cut job that included breaking and repouring 20 feet of concrete. Sewage was surfacing in the yard.
After: We dug two 3-by-3 pits on either side of the slab and burst the old pipe, pulling 55 feet of new HDPE in six hours. The driveway never moved. Flow tested full and the permit passed inspection.

Orangeburg Pipe Replacement in Fair Oaks
A 1952 home had Orangeburg pipe that had deformed into an oval and was holding waste. The line clogged monthly. Lining was not an option because the pipe was no longer round.
After: We burst the Orangeburg and pulled 48 feet of new HDPE through in a single day. The homeowner went from monthly clogs to zero in the 11 months since. The yard was back to normal within a week.

Sewer Problems We Fix Without Digging Up Your Yard
Most Marietta sewer calls come down to four things: roots, collapsed pipe, sagging pipe, and old material that has simply worn out. Here is what each one does if you leave it alone.
Ask a pro →Tree roots invading separated clay joints
We cut the roots with a chain cutter or Picote milling head, then line the pipe with a CIPP liner so there is no joint left for roots to enter. That is the permanent fix for trenchless sewer repair for tree root damage Marietta homeowners call about every spring.
Collapsed or crushed sewer line under a driveway
We burst the old pipe and pull new HDPE through the debris, working from two small pits on either side of the driveway. The concrete stays poured, and the new pipe carries a 50-year design life.
Sagging or bellied pipe holding water and solids
We locate the low spot with the camera, then either line through it to create a smooth new wall or dig a small access pit and re-support the pipe to restore fall. Most bellies we see in Marietta are under mature trees.
Orangeburg or cast iron pipe that has worn out
We replace Orangeburg with new HDPE through a bursting head, and we mill and line cast iron where the wall is still sound. If the cast iron is too far gone, we burst and replace it in the same trenchless pass.
Transparent pricing
What Trenchless Sewer Repair Costs in Marietta
$2,800 - $14,000 depending on length, depth, and method
Trenchless work is priced by the foot, and the foot price depends on pipe diameter, depth, and method. A spot repair with a short liner section is the cheapest option. A full pipe bursting replacement from the house to the city main is the most expensive. We camera the line first so the quote is based on your actual pipe, not a guess. No-dig sewer repair Marietta Georgia pricing typically runs $4,500 to $12,000 for a residential job, and we give you the number in writing before we start.
You are paying to keep the yard, the driveway, and the landscaping you already invested in. Open-cut trenching is cheaper per foot, but the restoration bill usually eats the difference and then some. We quote the whole job, not just the pipe.
•affects cost
Most residential runs in Marietta are 40 to 80 feet from the house to the city main. Price scales directly with length. A 40-foot spot repair is a very different job than an 80-foot full replacement.

Deeper lines mean bigger access pits and more excavation time. A line 3 feet down is straightforward. A line 8 feet down near a mature tree needs shoring and takes longer.

Clay tile and cast iron can usually be lined if the wall is sound. Orangeburg and fully collapsed pipe cannot, so they need bursting. That changes both the method and the price.

A line under a driveway, a brick walkway, or a mature root system adds complexity. We work around those with bursting and small pits, but the setup takes longer than an open grass run.

Most residential trenchless jobs in this area run $4,500 to $12,000 depending on length, depth, and method. A spot repair with a short liner section can land closer to $2,800. Full pipe bursting from the house to the city main on a 60-foot run typically sits in the $8,000 to $14,000 range. We camera the line first so the quote is based on your actual pipe, not a guess.
For most Marietta properties, yes. Trenchless avoids tearing up mature landscaping, brick walkways, and concrete driveways that are expensive to replace. The trade-off is cost per foot, which runs higher than open-cut trenching. If your line is shallow and runs through open grass with nothing in the way, traditional digging can be cheaper. We tell you which one makes sense for your yard.
Yes, and clay tile sewer pipe is what we see most in older Marietta neighborhoods. The pipe is brittle and the joints separate over time, which is exactly where tree roots get in. We clean the line, mill the joints smooth, and either line it with a CIPP liner or burst it and pull new HDPE pipe. Both methods handle clay well as long as the pipe has not fully collapsed.
A fully collapsed line usually cannot be lined because there is no round pipe left to bond to. In that case we burst the old pipe and pull new HDPE through the debris, which is still a trenchless method. If the collapse is isolated, a spot repair with two new couplings and a short section of PVC sewer pipe is often the faster and cheaper fix.
