Wyandotte-based Thompson Trenchless & Hydro Jetting has published a 2026 cost comparison of trenchless and traditional excavation sewer repair for Southeast Michigan. The comparison places typical trenchless repairs at $8,000–$18,500 and excavation with property restoration at $13,500–$41,000.

Wyandotte, Michigan – September 29, 2026 – Thompson Trenchless & Hydro Jetting, a sewer and drain contractor based in Wyandotte, Michigan, has published a 2026 cost comparison of trenchless and traditional excavation sewer line repair for homeowners in Wayne and Monroe Counties.

According to the comparison, conventional dig-and-replace sewer repair in Southeast Michigan, including restoration of lawns, driveways, sidewalks, and landscaping, typically ranges from $13,500 to $41,000. Trenchless repairs on comparable residential lines typically range from $8,000 to $18,500, a difference of approximately 30–55% depending on pipe length, depth, and site conditions. Most residential trenchless projects are completed within one to two days.

The comparison covers the two most commonly used trenchless methods. Cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) lining installs a resin-saturated liner that hardens into a new, seamless pipe inside the existing line. Pipe bursting fractures the damaged pipe while pulling a new high-density polyethylene (HDPE) line into its place. CIPP liners have an expected service life of 50–100 years, while HDPE pipe installed through pipe bursting has an expected service life of more than 100 years.

“Homeowners are often presented with an excavation quote before they know what other options exist,” said Kyle Thompson, licensed Michigan master drain plumber at Thompson Trenchless. “The purpose of this comparison is to give residents clear numbers on both approaches so they can make an informed decision after a camera inspection shows the condition of their line.”

The company estimates that approximately 85–90% of residential sewer repairs it evaluates are suitable for trenchless methods. Excavation may still be required where a line has fully collapsed or has severe grade problems. Common causes of sewer line failure in older homes in Downriver communities such as Wyandotte, Taylor, Southgate, Lincoln Park, Trenton, and Monroe include tree root intrusion, cracked or offset joints, corrosion, and sagging or “bellied” pipe sections.

The full comparison, including method descriptions, cost factors, and warranty information, is available on the company’s trenchless sewer repair page.
