New City Trenchless
Sewer Line Repair
Pipe Lining and Pipe Bursting Specialists

Trenchless sewer repair fixes or replaces a buried sewer line through small access points instead of excavating the whole run. The two main methods are cured-in-place pipe lining, which builds a new epoxy-saturated liner inside the old pipe, and pipe bursting, which pulls a new HDPE pipe through while breaking the old one outward.

Most residential trenchless jobs fall between roughly $4,000 and $15,000 depending on pipe length, depth, material and how much of the run has failed. A sectional spot repair costs less than lining a full lateral, and pipe bursting a collapsed line costs more. A camera inspection gives you a firm number before any work starts.

Most residential pipe lining and pipe bursting jobs are completed in one to two days. Open-cut replacement of the same line typically takes several days plus landscape repair afterward.

Trenchless methods need one or two small access pits rather than a trench along the whole line. Driveways, mature trees, patios and finished landscaping above the pipe stay intact, which is usually what makes trenchless cheaper overall than open-cut in Rockland County yards.

Orangeburg is bituminized fiber pipe manufactured in Orangeburg NY, ten miles from New City, and installed across Rockland County homes through the 1950s and 60s. It deforms and blisters with age and most of it is now at or past end of life. If your home was built between 1945 and 1972, a camera inspection will tell you if the hometown pipe is under your lawn.

Often yes. Roots are cut mechanically or cleared with hydro jetting, then the entry joints are sealed by lining that section so the roots cannot return. Mature street trees in towns like Nyack and Pearl River make root intrusion one of the most common sewer failures we see in the county.
