Apollo is Here For all Your Trenchless Repair Needs
Why Repair And Not Replacement?
Repairs are not only cheaper, but they’re also generally faster when you’re using a trenchless-based company like Apollo Drain Cleaning. We don’t rely on the excavation “dig and repair” method of old; we rely on a faster, more reliable method.
We use trenchless technologies and equipment to complete repairs. This means you aren’t looking at thousands of dollars of added costs, and added time on your repair. Traditional repairs can take up to six weeks – trenchless repairs usually only take one to two days.
Replacements are truly not necessary unless your pipe is in severely bad condition. This includes a fracture down more half the length of the pipe itself, or a joint leak that has spread to the yard of your home, business, or municipal property, or even a really bad root invasion situation. Corrosion, erosion, and collapse can also produce severe issues which necessitate replacement; however, repairs are sometimes possible even then. Here at Apollo Drain Cleaning, we only resort to replacement when it’s absolutely necessary.

What Kinds Of Repairs Does Apollo Drain Cleaning Offer?
Apollo Drain Cleaning prides ourselves on our ability to complete your repairs in a timely and high-quality fashion. That’s why we offer a cured-in-place pipelining. This essentially creates a “pipe within a pipe”. This kind of pipelining utilizes an inflatable air bladder and a specialized epoxy resin. With air pressure and gravity, the air bladder turns inside out and presses the epoxy resin to the smooth surface of your pipe. This seals any cracks, leaks, fractures, or other damages inside your pipe. It creates a smooth surface, prevents further corrosion or erosion, tree root invasions, and offers an additional fifty years or more to your pipe’s life expectancy.

Trenchless Repair FAQs
What is trenchless sewer repair?
Trenchless sewer repair refers to several technologies that allow us to clean out or repair your sewer pipes without digging up your whole yard. Traditional sewer repair involves digging a trench along the entire length of your sewer line, from your home to where it joins the city’s line in the street. This often involved taking out grass, trees, sidewalks, driveways, and more! With trenchless sewer repair, you can get a long-lasting fix to your sewer problem without all that hassle and expense.
How do you know what is going on in my sewer without digging it up to take a look?
We’ll send a small camera on a flexible cable down the entire length of your sewer line. Our camera gives us a clear, 360-degree view of your entire sewer line. It allows us to see any clogs in the line, cracks or breaks in the pipe, or other potential problems with the line. It also allows us to determine the exact location of the problems so we can target our repairs accordingly.
What is hydro jetting?
Hydro jetting involves shooting a controlled, concentrated stream of water into your pipes. We can direct this stream so that it targets the scum and scale that has built up on the sides of your pipes or so that it decimates clogs in the lines. The water is so concentrated that it can break up even tough clogs, including some tree roots. After hydro jetting, your clog won’t just be gone, but the insides of your pipes will look brand new.
What is cured-in-place piping (CIPP)?
Cured-in-place piping technology allows us to reline your sewer pipes without having to dig up the line. We turn the liner inside out and cover the inside with epoxy. Then, we run the liner into your line until it covers the crack or break in your sewer pipe. Our machines turn the pipe liner right side out again, allowing the epoxy to adhere to the existing pipe. Then we heat the inside of the liner so the epoxy can form a lasting seal. When we’re done, your pipe will have a brand new interior lining.
How long will CIPP last?
The project duration for your CIPP repair will vary based on the products we use, the length of pipe replaced, and other factors. However, many products come with a 10-year warranty and you can actually expect them to last for 50 years or more. The liner resists corrosion by water and other substances and provides a barrier that repels tree roots, too.
Will trenchless sewer repair save me money?
Most of the time, trenchless sewer repair is not only the fastest and easiest way to fix your sewer line, but it’s also the cheapest, too. While we cannot quote a price for your project until we know what is going on in your sewer line and what you need to have done, experience has shown that trenchless repairs almost always cost less than those done via traditional methods.
Trenchless repair is cheaper simply because you don’t have to pay to have your yard dug up and you don’t have to pay to have it put back together when we’re done, either. Eliminating these costs means that all you pay for is the repair itself.
