Trenchless sewer repair in Colorado Springs
A no dig promise is not a diagnosis. The camera must show whether the host pipe can be cleaned and lined, whether bursting has a safe route, or whether a localized excavation is needed.

Use visual evidence to define the scope before choosing a method
These images show the two records that matter most: the local access route and the method-specific evidence needed to compare a repair scope.
Request a documented inspection
The sewer scope has to show a continuous repair path
A structural liner needs a passable host pipe with known dimensions and repair limits. Collapse, missing pipe, severe deformation, branch complications, or a failed connection can change the plan. The inspector should record the route from access to the utility connection when passable.
- Material and inside diameter
- Defects with distance stations
- Cleanout and downstream access
- Transitions and branches
- Service connection condition
Lining, bursting, and excavation solve different failures
CIPP creates a structural tube inside the cleaned host line. Pipe bursting pulls a new line through the existing route while displacing the old pipe. Spot excavation exposes a defined failure. Surface disruption is one comparison column, not the whole decision.
Request the design basis, exact rehabilitation length, access points, prework video, postwork video, and warranty in the written proposal.

No. The host path, dimensions, defects, access, and connection details must qualify.
PermitsWho handles the plumbing permit?
The written scope should identify the responsible licensed contractor and whether PPRBD and right of way requirements are included.
TimelineCan trenchless repair be finished in one day?
Some scopes are fast, but cleaning, access, cure method, inspection, permit timing, and complexity control the schedule.
