Zero-Dig Sewer Repair ## 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 1. **Camera inspection** to confirm the line can be lined and locate every defect. 2. **Cleaning** with high-pressure jetting and cutters to sound pipe. 3. **Lining** with [CIPP](/commercial/plumbing/pipe-lining/cipp) or [UV-cured](/commercial/plumbing/pipe-lining/uv-cured) liner, chosen for the pipe size, material and how fast the line must return to service. 4. **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. **Call (877) 325-0180** or [request a proposal](/contact).
