We clean the existing pipe with hydro jetting to remove roots, debris, and buildup. The pipe interior must be clean for the liner to bond properly.

What Big Rapids property owners want to know about trenchless sewer repair — answered by our experts.
Trenchless sewer repair in Big Rapids typically costs $4,000 to $12,000 depending on pipe length, diameter, and damage extent. While the repair itself may cost more than excavation, total project cost is often lower because you avoid landscaping, driveway, and hardscape restoration.
CIPP lining inserts a resin-coated liner inside the existing pipe and cures it in place — best for cracked and root-damaged pipes still in their original shape. Pipe bursting breaks the old pipe apart while pulling new pipe through — best for severely damaged or undersized pipes.
Yes. Trenchless CIPP lining works well on clay pipes in Big Rapids because it creates a new pipe inside the old one, sealing all cracks and joint separations. Pipe bursting also works on clay by fracturing the old pipe and pulling new HDPE through.
Most can, but not all. Severely collapsed pipes, pipes with multiple sharp bends, or undersized pipes may not be candidates. Scranton Sewer Authority always camera-inspects first and is honest about when trenchless is and is not the right choice for your Big Rapids property.
Honest reviews from property owners who chose Scranton Sewer Authority for their sewer and drain needs.
"Our restaurant had a grease trap emergency right before a health inspection. They came out the same morning, pumped and cleaned the trap, and got us compliant. Lifesavers."
"Outstanding emergency service. Sewer backed up into the basement on Christmas Eve. They had a technician available who cleared the blockage and sanitized the affected area. Above and beyond service."
"Good experience overall. They cleared a stubborn clog in our shower drain that two other companies could not fix. Turned out to be a buildup of calcium and soap scum deep in the pipe. Hydro jetting solved it."
