Expert Trenchless Sewer Line Replacement for Twin Cities Homeowners

Trenchless Sewer Line Replacement

Northern Benjamin Franklin replaces sewer lines without opening the whole yard. We camera the line first, because which trenchless method suits you, or whether trenchless suits you at all, depends on what the pipe is actually doing.

You see the footage before you decide.

Call (763) 296-1844.

What's Included

  • A camera inspection first, so the method matches the pipe

  • The footage shown to you before you decide

  • Pipe bursting or CIPP lining, whichever the line calls for

  • Two access points instead of a trench through the yard

  • Permits pulled and the work inspected

  • The line retested and the access points restored

  • Full-diameter new pipe
  • Handles collapsed sections
  • Two access points, not a trench

Cures a new liner inside the existing pipe. Suits a structurally sound line with cracks, root intrusion or joint separation.

  • Seals joints and cracks
  • Keeps existing pipe in place

Signs You Need This Service

Don't wait for a failure. Watch for these critical warning signs that your plumbing system is struggling.

Backups that keep returning

A line cleared repeatedly is a line that is failing, not a line that is unlucky.

Roots in the line on camera

Common in older Twin Cities neighbourhoods with mature trees over the run.

Mature landscaping over the line

Trenchless is worth asking about precisely because it does not open the whole yard.

A driveway or patio in the way

Replacing conventionally means cutting concrete. Trenchless usually does not.

Sewage smell around the property

Escaping gas means the line is no longer sealed along its length.

The camera shows a belly or collapse

A sagging or crushed section will not clean clear. It needs replacing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is trenchless always possible? +
No, and anyone who says otherwise has not looked. A line that has collapsed completely, or one with a severe belly holding water, sometimes has to be dug. That is why we camera first and show you the footage rather than quoting a method over the phone.
Will you still have to dig at all? +
Usually two access points rather than a trench along the whole run. That is the difference between a day of work and a yard that needs relandscaping.
How long does it take? +
Most residential replacements are a single day once permits are in hand. Larger runs or difficult access can go longer, and we will tell you which you have before starting.
Does the new pipe last as long? +
Yes. Both methods put modern material in place of clay or cast iron, and both are rated for decades. The lining cures into a new pipe wall inside the old one.
