What Is Trenchless Technology?
A Simple Guide for Homeowners and Property Managers
If you’ve ever dealt with a broken or blocked pipe, you know how disruptive and expensive traditional repairs can be. Digging up floors, breaking through walls, or tearing up gardens, all just to reach the pipe. The mess, the cost, the downtime… it’s enough to give anyone a headache.
Thankfully, there’s a better way.
It’s called trenchless technology, and it’s transforming how drain repairs are done, more quickly, cleanly, and without disruption. And Green Moles is leading the way in our region.
What Is Trenchless Technology?
In simple terms, trenchless technology refers to methods of repairing, replacing, or rehabilitating underground pipes “without digging trenches”. Instead of breaking through walls or excavating large areas, the work is performed from the inside of the pipe.
This innovative, no-dig approach is applied mainly to sewer and drainage systems, and it is ideal for residential properties, apartment buildings, commercial premises, and public infrastructure.
Common trenchless methods include:
- Pipe relining → inserting a new liner inside the existing pipe.
- Point / patch repairs → fixing only the damaged section of a pipe.
- Epoxy or PU brush / spray coating → waterproofing the interior surface.
- CCTV drain inspections → using specialized cameras to locate problems with precision.
- Robotic cutting / Trenchless unblocking → removing intrusions or obstacles without excavation.
What Problems Can Trenchless Technology Solve?
Trenchless methods can address a wide range of common drainage issues, including:
- Aging or corroded pipes
- Tree root intrusion
- Frequent blockages
- Cracked, leaking, broken or collapsed pipes
- Pipes located in hard-to-reach places, such as:
- Beneath buildings
- Between floors in apartment complexes
- Vertical sewer stacks in multi-storey buildings
- Under roads, driveways, or landscaped areas
If a pipe repair requires demolition, think twice as a trenchless repair could be a smarter alternative.

Why Homeowners and Property Managers are choosing trenchless?
Trenchless technology is a practical, cost-saving and time-saving solution for today’s property owners and property managers. Here’s why:
✅ No damage to the property. No need to rip out floors, walls, driveways, or landscaped areas.
⚡ Faster project times. Most trenchless repairs can be completed in a single day or even in just a few hours.
🧱 Minimal disruption. No big noise, no dust, or major construction inside the building.
💪 Durable and long-lasting. Certified materials (like epoxy or CIPP liners) are designed to last for at least 50 years.
💰 Cost-effective for multi-unit buildings. Especially in apartment complexes or commercial spaces, trenchless avoids the need to vacate or disturb multiple tenants.
👍 Easy to coordinate. No need to liaise between multiple contractors, and simpler coordination between multiple unit owners/tenants.
