Not every sewer problem requires digging up the entire line. Understanding when a targeted repair is appropriate versus when full replacement is necessary saves time and property damage.
Ideal when damage is localized (such as a single cracked pipe joint, isolated root intrusion, or spot offset). Heise's performs targeted repairs or trenchless spot lining to fix the specific damaged section while preserving healthy pipe.
Necessary when piping has completely collapsed, severely back-pitched (bellied), or decayed along its full length. We utilize trenchless pipe bursting to replace the entire line with minimal excavation.
