Sewer problems can be disruptive and gross and can even cause health problems if left untreated. It’s important to know the signs of sewer problems so you can get them fixed promptly and avoid more extensive repairs. At Arrow Sewer & Drain, we offer trenchless pipe repair and other sewer and drain services throughout all of New Jersey. Here, we’ll share sewer red flags to look out for and information about trenchless sewer repair.
What Is Trenchless Sewer Repair?
Trenchless sewer repair is a newer method of sewer repair that doesn’t involve digging large trenches underground and excavating the pipes. Rather, it consists of digging small access points into the ground and repairing or replacing the existing pipes using robotic equipment. At Arrow Sewer & Drain, we’re an innovator of trenchless sewer repair and have the state-of-the-art equipment needed to complete all kinds of jobs. We use a few minimally invasive methods to complete the process:
- Our Trenchless pipe lining and repair is best for corroded, weak, or leaking pipes.
- Trenchless pipe bursting replacement is used for pipes that are beyond repair.
- Trenchless pipe lining is ideal for preserving pipes that have little damage.
Our team will perform a thorough inspection and analysis of your sewer problems to determine whether trenchless repair is suitable, and if so, what method is best.
Some of the benefits of trenchless sewer repair over excavation include lower cost, shorter project length, less property damage, undisturbed landscaping, and long-lasting repairs. Trenchless sewer repair can also be done on most types of pipes, including clay, cast iron, concrete, fiberglass, copper, plastic, and steel pipes in both residential and commercial properties. Once pipes are restored using trenchless repair, they can last as long as fifty years.

Red Flags to Watch For
A sewage system is a crucial part of keeping your home running smoothly. If it’s experiencing issues, these can cause further damage and costly repairs. Problems with your sewage system can be caused by tree roots, clogs, cracked or corroded pipes, and even extreme temperatures. It’s important to be able to recognize any red flags of a sewer problem so you can get it fixed swiftly. Here are some of these signs:
- Slow draining
- Persistent clogs
- Foul odors inside or outside the house
- Wastewater and sewage backups
