A failing sewer line used to mean losing your driveway, your landscaping, or a good stretch of lawn. That is no longer the case. Trenchless methods allow us to rebuild or replace a line through small access points rather than digging a trench across your property.
That matters in Greenwood, where clay-heavy soil and repeated freeze-and-thaw cycles put steady pressure on buried pipes. Homes around Old Town Greenwood and the older stretches near County Line Road often have clay tile or cast iron that has been in the ground for decades. Complete Comfort Heating, A/C & Plumbing Repair handles trenchless sewer repair in Greenwood, IN, starting with a camera inspection so you know exactly what is wrong before anyone touches your yard.

How Trenchless Sewer Technology Works
Trenchless work starts with a camera. We feed a video line through your cleanout and record the full run to the city main, noting cracks, offset joints, root intrusion, and low spots where water collects. That footage tells us whether the existing pipe can be rehabilitated or needs to be replaced outright.
From there, the repair is carried out through one or two access pits rather than a continuous trench. One pit usually sits near the house, and the other near the property line or the main connection. Everything between those two points gets rebuilt underground without disturbing the surface.
The equipment does the work that a backhoe used to do. Hydraulic pulling rigs, winches, and curing systems all operate from those small openings. Most jobs wrap up in a day or two, and your driveway, sidewalk, and mature trees stay where they are.
Signs Your Sewer Line Needs Trenchless Repair
Sewer problems build slowly before they turn into a backup. Watch for these:
- Repeated main line backups
- Multiple slow drains at once
- Sewage odor indoors or outside
- Soggy or sunken yard patches
- Gurgling toilets and tubs
- Unexplained lush grass stripes
- Foundation or slab cracks
- Rodent or insect activity
Any one of these is worth a camera inspection. Several together usually means the line has already failed somewhere along the run.
Pipe Bursting vs. Pipe Lining Methods
Pipe lining, sometimes called cured-in-place pipe, works when the existing line still holds its shape. We pull a resin-saturated liner through the old pipe, inflate it against the walls, and cure it into a hard, seamless pipe within a pipe. The result seals cracks and joints, blocks roots from getting back in, and leaves a smooth interior that resists buildup.
Pipe bursting is the choice when the old line is crushed, badly bellied, or too far gone to be repaired. A bursting head is pulled through the existing pipe, fracturing it outward into the surrounding soil while simultaneously pulling new HDPE pipe into place behind it. This method can also upsize a line, which helps homes that have added bathrooms or a finished basement.
The camera inspection determines which method is appropriate. Lining is generally faster and less invasive, but bursting gives you a completely new pipe with a long service life. We explain what we found, show you the footage, and give you upfront pricing on both options when both are realistic.
Advantages Over Traditional Sewer Excavation
The most obvious advantage is your property. Traditional excavation means a trench four to six feet deep running the length of your yard, which takes out grass, flower beds, pavement, and often a tree or two. Restoration costs frequently rival the plumbing work itself. Trenchless work leaves nearly all of that intact.
Timing is the second advantage. An open-cut replacement can run a week or longer once you factor in digging, pipe laying, backfill, and surface repair. Most trenchless jobs finish in one to two days, which means fewer days without normal water use and less disruption for your household.
Durability rounds it out. Both HDPE and cured liners are seamless, so there are no joints for Greenwood’s shifting clay soil to pull apart and no gaps for roots to find. Materials used in trenchless sewer replacement in Greenwood, IN, are rated for 50 years or more, which puts the problem behind you rather than postponing it. The smooth interior also moves waste more efficiently than old clay or corroded cast iron ever did.
Our Trenchless Sewer Repair & Replacement Process
We begin with a full camera inspection and line locate. Knowing the exact depth, material, and failure points lets us plan access pits where they cause the least damage and quote the job accurately rather than guessing.
Next, we clear the line. Hydro jetting or mechanical cutting removes roots, grease, and scale so the liner can bond properly or the bursting head can travel cleanly. Skipping this step is how trenchless jobs go wrong, so we never rush it.
Then the installation happens. For lining, the liner is pulled or inverted into place and cured. For bursting, the new pipe follows the bursting head through the old line in a single continuous pull. Either way, work runs from the access pits with no trench across your yard.
We finish with a second camera pass so you can see the new pipe end-to-end. Connections get reinstated, pits are backfilled and compacted, and we walk the property with you before we leave.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a trenchless sewer job take?
Most residential jobs finish in one to two days. Longer runs or complicated access can add time, and we give you a realistic window upfront.
Will my yard be torn up?
No. We work from one or two small access pits rather than a full trench, so driveways, sidewalks, and mature trees stay in place.
How long do trenchless pipes last?
Both cured liners and HDPE pipe are rated for 50 years or more. They are seamless, which is why roots and shifting soil have a much harder time causing damage.
Is trenchless more expensive than digging?
The plumbing cost can be comparable, but trenchless usually comes out ahead once you add in landscaping, concrete, and driveway restoration.
Can every sewer line be repaired trenchless?
Most can. Severe collapses, extreme sags, or certain depth and routing issues sometimes require open-cut work, and the camera inspection tells us which situation you have.
