Zero-Dig sewer repair is Progressive's no-excavation approach to failing commercial sewer lines: inspect, clean and line the pipe through existing access so floors, slabs and parking lots stay exactly as they are.

What Zero-Dig means for your property
A broken sewer under a restaurant floor or a hotel parking deck used to mean saw-cutting concrete, days of excavation, a closed business and a restoration bill that dwarfed the plumbing. Zero-Dig sewer repair replaces that with a lined pipe installed from a cleanout or manhole. No trench, no closed dining room, no torn-up landscaping, and the finished pipe is jointless and root-proof.
Problems Zero-Dig solves
- Root intrusion through joints in clay and cast iron sewers.
- Cracked, corroded or scaled pipe that backs up repeatedly.
- Sewer lines under slabs, additions, loading docks and parking structures.
- Laterals running under neighbouring property, roads or utilities where digging needs permits and shoring.
How the repair happens
- Camera inspection to confirm the line can be lined and locate every defect.
- Cleaning with high-pressure jetting and cutters to sound pipe.
- Lining with CIPP or UV-cured liner, chosen for the pipe size, material and how fast the line must return to service.
- Verification on camera, with the video delivered to you.
Where a section has collapsed or offset too far to line, we make one targeted spot repair and line through it, which is still far less disruption than replacing the run.
Frequently asked questions
Is Zero-Dig sewer repair permanent?
The liner is a new structural pipe designed for decades of service. Ask us for the design life and warranty terms of the liner system proposed for your job.
Do you need to dig at all?
In most cases, no; existing cleanouts and manholes provide access. If the line has no access point we open one small pit rather than trenching the length of the pipe.
How is Zero-Dig different from trenchless pipe lining?
Zero-Dig is Progressive's name for the complete no-excavation sewer repair service; trenchless pipe lining is the method inside it.

Joe Oliveira stopped by my home, took time to understand the problem that I was having with the unit, went back and discussed the issue with his team of experts and had a detailed work order sent to me with in a day. … Based on the experience that I have had with Progressive Plumbing, Heating & Air, Electrical, I will HIGHLY recommend them for HVAC install and maintenance.
