Dealing with a sewer line issue can be stressful—but it doesn’t have to drain your bank account or take over your week. Thanks to modern trenchless technology, homeowners in Toronto now have a faster, more cost-effective alternative to traditional sewer repair.
At ZeroDig, we specialize in trenchless sewer solutions that not only preserve your landscaping but also save you serious time and money. Here’s how.
⏱️ 1. Faster Repairs = Less Disruption
Traditional sewer repair often takes 3 to 7+ days, involving heavy machinery, full-yard excavation, and multiple teams. That’s days of:
Loud construction noise
Blocked driveways
Disrupted routines and water service
With trenchless repair:
Most jobs are completed in 1–2 days
Minimal digging and quicker setup
You can return to normal life almost immediately
Your time is valuable—and trenchless methods give it back to you.
💰 2. Lower Restoration Costs
With conventional repairs, digging is just the beginning. Once the job is done, you're left paying to restore:
Lawns and flower beds
Driveways, interlock, or concrete
Sidewalks or decks
Fences, shrubs, and irrigation systems
These repairs can easily add thousands to your total bill.
Trenchless repair avoids these costs entirely:
No major trenching
No damage to landscaping or hard surfaces
No surprise post-job expenses
📉 3. Fewer Labor Hours, Less Equipment
Traditional sewer line replacement requires a large crew, excavation machinery, and multiple site visits.
Trenchless solutions require:
A smaller team
Specialized equipment
Minimal on-site time
That efficiency translates to lower labor costs, which we pass on to our customers. Less overhead = more savings.
🛠️ 4. Long-Term Durability = Fewer Repairs
Our trenchless methods, such as CIPP lining and pipe bursting, use modern, high-quality materials designed to last 50+ years. That means:
No future root intrusion
No corrosion
No collapse due to shifting soil
With traditional repairs, the risk of joints cracking or pipes shifting over time is much higher—leading to repeat issues and higher lifetime costs.
🧾 5. One Transparent Bill
At ZeroDig, your quote includes everything:
Camera inspection
Repair materials
Labor
Clean-up
No hidden costs. No surprises. Traditional methods often generate separate bills for excavation, restoration, and disposal—making your final cost hard to predict.
