Understanding Sewer Line Repair: Trenchless vs Traditional Methods

Sewer line issues can be a homeowner’s nightmare, but modern technology has made repairs less invasive and more efficient. At Probst Excavating, we specialize in trenchless sewer line repair serving Aurora, Lawrenceburg, and the Tri-State area.

Common Signs You Need Sewer Line Repair

Watch for these warning signs:

• Foul odors around your property
• Wet spots in your yard from seepage
• Slow drains throughout your home
• Gurgling sounds from toilets or drains
• Sewage backing up into your home

What Causes Sewer Line Damage?

Several factors can damage your sewer lines:

1. Tree Root Invasion - Roots seeking moisture can infiltrate and crack pipes
2. Age & Corrosion - Older pipes deteriorate over time
3. Ground Shifting - Soil movement can misalign or crack pipes
4. Clogs & Blockages - Built-up debris can cause pressure and damage
