What Central Ohio neighbors say
Three families. Three different sewer problems. One thing in common — they all called Wooley first.
★★★★★
We had a 1920s clay lateral with a major root intrusion. Heath came out personally, walked through the camera footage with us, and gave us a flat per-foot quote. Job was done in 7 hours — yard untouched, lawn intact. Worth every penny.

Bexley, OH · CIPP pipe lining · March 2026
★★★★★
Two other plumbers told us we needed full excavation — would have cost $18,000 and torn up the driveway. Wooley's camera found the actual issue: a single belly with root intrusion. CIPP fix at $5,400. Driveway intact.

★★★★★
Restaurant kitchen drain backed up during dinner service. Wooley was on-site in under 2 hours, jetted the line at 4,000 PSI, and we were back in service that same evening. They've been our go-to ever since.

Quick Answers
Most asked, before you call
How much does trenchless sewer repair cost in Columbus?+
For a typical residential lateral in Columbus or Bexley, CIPP pipe lining runs $80 to $150 per linear foot — meaning a 60-foot run lands between $4,800 and $9,000. Pipe bursting for collapsed or Orangeburg pipe runs $120 to $350/ft. Final pricing is always camera-verified, never estimated from a guide.
Will trenchless damage my lawn or driveway?+
No. CIPP lining requires two small access points — usually existing cleanouts. No trenching across the yard, no jackhammering the driveway. Pipe bursting needs two slightly larger pits but the line itself stays underground.
How long does the actual repair take?+
Most residential CIPP installations are complete in 4 to 8 hours. Pipe bursting typically takes 6 to 10 hours. You're without sewer service for that window only — we coordinate with you so dishwashers, laundry, and toilets aren't running during the cure.
How long does the liner last?+
CIPP liners are manufacturer-rated for 50 years of design life. The earliest field installs from the late 1980s are still performing structurally beyond 35 years. Wooley installs NSF-61 compliant felt-and-epoxy and fibreglass systems governed by ASTM F1216 — the same standard municipalities use.
Are you really family-owned?+
Yes. Eric Wooley founded the company in 1978 in Pickerington, OH. His son Heath joined the business in 1992 and today owns and operates the company. Our 10-person field crew is W-2, in-house, cross-trained on every method — we do not subcontract trenchless work.
Can I finance a sewer repair?+
Yes — we partner with home-improvement financing for residential jobs over $3,000. Approval is typically same-day with a soft credit pull. We also accept all major cards and provide insurance-ready documentation if your homeowners policy may cover the loss.
