Pipe condition and shape
We check for collapse, offsets, diameter changes, and bellies — lining needs a host pipe that's still structurally continuous, and bursting needs a workable path for the new pipe.
Repair with less surface disruption
Trenchless sewer repair rehabilitates or replaces an underground line with little to no digging — pipe lining or pipe bursting instead of a trench across your yard. When the pipe, route, and access support it, it's the least disruptive fix there is.
Understand the problem

Trenchless repair saves the driveway, yard, and finished landscaping that open excavation tears up. It still takes real diagnosis and access, and some collapses, severe grade problems, or connection layouts call for another method — so the line gets evaluated before we commit to it.
Jetstar Plumbing and Drains evaluates and performs trenchless sewer repair — including cured-in-place pipe lining and pipe bursting — for suitable properties across Utah County and Salt Lake County. Camera inspection, locating, line cleaning, access points, and the host pipe's condition drive the recommendation.
For a lot of Salt Lake and Utah County homes, the appeal is simple math. The sewer line runs under a driveway, a mature lawn, a patio, or an established garden that would cost thousands to tear out and rebuild — sometimes more than the pipe repair itself. Trenchless works from one or two compact access points instead of a trench down the whole run, so the surface you'd have to restore shrinks dramatically. A cured-in-place liner rehabilitates a cracked or root-infiltrated pipe from the inside, while pipe bursting pulls a brand-new pipe through the path of a failed one. Neither is right for every line, which is why we camera and measure first — but when the pipe qualifies, trenchless is the least disruptive way to get a sewer that's good for decades.
Talk through the symptomsScope
We check for collapse, offsets, diameter changes, and bellies — lining needs a host pipe that's still structurally continuous, and bursting needs a workable path for the new pipe.
Entry, exit, branch connections, and cleanouts decide whether lining, bursting, or a conventional dig is the workable method for your line.
Depth, easements, utility conflicts, and surface features shape the trenchless plan and where the access points can safely go.
Roots, scale, and debris are removed first so the liner cures against a clean pipe wall or the new pipe follows a clear path.
Know the signs
If these symptoms are active or worsening, call before water or wastewater creates a larger problem.
A driveway, patio, mature landscaping, or slab makes open excavation costly and destructive to restore — often the biggest line item in a conventional dig.
Clear video and locating give a solid basis to compare lining, bursting, and excavation on cost and disruption rather than guesswork.
A documented defect at a joint or crack is a strong candidate for a liner or a burst instead of paying to cut the same roots back every year.
A tight lot, close neighbors, or hard surfaces make a full trench impractical — trenchless cuts the open work to a couple of access points.
Straight answer on price
Trenchless pricing depends on the method your line can support and the access it requires. We quote after the camera confirms suitability. Key factors:
Typical range
$4,000 – $12,000
Utah market estimate. Depends on line length and method, and is confirmed after a camera inspection.
A longer or more damaged line takes more material and time to line or replace.
Pipe lining and pipe bursting have different costs depending on what the line can support.
How many access pits the job needs affects labor and surface restoration.
Changes in pipe size or connections along the run can add to the work.
Inspect → act → verify
We camera the line and clean it so the true pipe condition can be measured, not guessed — the single most important step in a responsible trenchless decision.
Route, depth, access, tie-ins, and the method — lining or bursting — are defined, and the work is priced before anything starts.
The approved trenchless system is installed through compact access pits instead of a full trench down the length of the line.
Connections and flow are tested and camera-verified before the small access points are backfilled and the surface is restored.
Why Jetstar
Jetstar Plumbing and Drains compares trenchless and open excavation on the evidence — we don't sell one method for every line just because it's the one we'd rather run.
The prep work and footage a responsible trenchless decision needs are handled by the same sewer crew, not farmed out or skipped to save time.
If grade, collapse, or connection layout rule trenchless out, we tell you why and price the conventional alternative instead of forcing a method that won't last.
