Fix or replace a failed sewer line without tearing up your yard. CIPP pipe lining and pipe bursting let our licensed crews restore your main with little to no digging — across Albany, Troy, Schenectady and the Capital Region.
Do any of these sound familiar?
Most problems give you warning signs — catch one early and you often avoid a bigger repair.
If your whole house backs up again and again after snaking, the sewer main itself is likely cracked, collapsed, or root-bound.
Roots invade old joints and reseal after every cleaning. Lining the pipe seals them out for good.
Many older Capital Region homes have failing original sewer pipe at the end of its life — ideal candidates for lining or bursting.
A wet patch or sewer odor in the yard points to a leaking or collapsed line underground — usually repairable trenchlessly.
A scope confirms exactly what is wrong and whether lining or bursting is the right fix.
Trenchless CIPP lining and pipe bursting restore the line through small access points — no trenching across your lawn, driveway, or landscaping.

How we do it
From your first call to the final cleanup, here’s exactly how we work — no surprises and no upsells.
We scope and locate the line to confirm the damage and decide between lining (CIPP) and pipe bursting.
Need it fixed today? We hold same-day slots for urgent repairs across the Capital Region.
We hydro-jet and clear the line so the new liner or pipe seats properly.
CIPP lining cures a new pipe-within-a-pipe through one or two small access points; pipe bursting pulls a new pipe through where the old one has collapsed.
We re-scope to confirm the result and leave your yard largely intact — no full trench.
Licensed Empire State Plumbing tech diagnosing a system on-siteOur work, done right
We repair and replace sewer mains trenchlessly for Capital Region homes using CIPP (cured-in-place pipe) lining and pipe bursting — restoring flow without excavating your lawn, driveway, or landscaping. Trenchless is not right for every line, so we always camera-inspect first and recommend the method (or a conventional dig) that actually fits your situation.

How to decide
If the damage is a single spot or a clog, a conventional repair or a drain clearing may be all you need — see sewer line repair and drain clearing. Trenchless lining or bursting is the right call when the pipe is cracked, root-infiltrated, bellied, or collapsed along its run and a full dig-and-replace would otherwise tear up your yard.
Straight talk on price
Trenchless costs more per foot than spot digging but usually less than a full excavation once you factor in restoring a torn-up yard, driveway, or sidewalk. We quote flat after the camera inspection, and offer financing through Acorn Finance for full-line work.
Local know-how
Many Albany, Troy, and Rensselaer-County homes still have original clay or Orangeburg sewer pipe — exactly the material that cracks and lets roots in. Mature street trees make root intrusion the most common reason Capital Region homeowners need a line relined. Where a lawn, mature landscaping, or a paved drive sits over the line, trenchless saves the costliest part of the job: putting your property back together.

Good to know
The things Capital Region homeowners ask us most about repair, replacement and cost.
CIPP lining cures a new resin pipe inside your existing one (good when the old pipe can host a liner). Pipe bursting pulls a new pipe through while breaking the old one apart (used when the line is fully collapsed). A camera inspection confirms which fits.
It is minimal-dig — usually one or two small access points instead of a trench down your yard, so your lawn, driveway, and landscaping stay largely intact.
Most residential lining or bursting jobs are completed in a day once the line is cleaned and prepped.
A cured-in-place liner is rated to last about 50 years, sealing out roots and leaks for the life of the home in most cases.
Yes — we offer financing through Acorn Finance so a full-line repair fits your budget.
