Trenchless Sewer Repair
Our parent trenchless service hub. Trenchless sewer repair covers every no-dig repair method Wooley delivers — CIPP pipe lining for aged-but-intact pipe, pipe bursting for collapsed or Orangeburg lateral replacement, and spot repair for localised defects.
Common triggers include basement sewage backups, recurring snake-and-jet cycles that never stay clear, sinkholes over the lateral run, and failed pre-sale sewer scopes.
CIPP Pipe Lining
CIPP stands for cured-in-place pipe. A flexible felt or fibreglass liner impregnated with thermoset epoxy or styrene resin is inverted through the existing pipe, inflated against the host pipe wall, and cured to form a new jointless pipe-within-a-pipe. NSF-61 compliant, ASTM F1216 governed, and manufacturer-rated for a 50-year design life.
CIPP is ideal for aged-but-intact clay tile and cast iron laterals — exactly the housing stock that dominates Bexley, Uptown Westerville, and older Columbus neighborhoods.
Pipe Bursting
Pipe bursting is the trenchless replacement method. A hydraulic or pneumatic bursting head fractures the old pipe outward while pulling new HDPE pipe into position. Governed by ASTM F1962, bursting is required for Orangeburg, fully collapsed clay, or any lateral needing upsizing.
Residential bursting typically completes in a single day with two small access pits. Learn more at our pipe bursting service hub.
Hydro Jetting & Drain Cleaning
Hydro jetting uses a high-pressure water jet — 4,000+ PSI at 18+ GPM — to scour the pipe interior, removing roots, grease, scale, and debris. Jetting cleans the full pipe circumference. It is the right tool for restaurant grease blockages, tree-root intrusion, and mineral scale on cast iron.
Wooley offers scheduled maintenance contracts for restaurants, apartments, and commercial property managers. Pre- and post-service camera verification is included on every job.
Sewer Camera Inspection
A sewer camera inspection produces a time-stamped video file of the pipe interior with footage distance markers. Wooley uses RIDGID SeeSnake push cameras for residential laterals and Envirosight crawler cameras for larger commercial and municipal lines. Every inspection is delivered to the customer as a permanent video record.
Typical use cases: pre-purchase inspection, post-backup diagnosis, insurance claim documentation, and recurring-blockage triage. At our sewer camera inspection hub you can review our scope-and-locate process.
Sewer Line Repair
Sewer line repair is our umbrella service hub. It exists because many customers search 'sewer line repair' without yet knowing which method they need. Wooley offers both trenchless and open-cut options and triages every job with a camera scope first, so the recommended method fits the pipe — not the only method we happen to carry.
If you do not yet know whether you need lining, bursting, or spot repair, start here. We will scope the line, diagnose the failure mode, and give you a written estimate for the lowest-cost method that delivers a durable outcome.
