Trenchless sewer rehabilitation offers wastewater professionals a less invasive method for repairing damaged or deteriorating parts of our underground infrastructure. Before trenchless rehab methods were introduced, wastewater professionals relied on dig-and-replace, which required excavation along the full length of the defective pipe to remove and replace it completely. This was not only disruptive, but also costly and precarious work. 

Instead, trenchless technologies offer a way to restore the existing pipe’s structural integrity without ever taking it out of the ground. 

Wastewater operators turn to contractors for a variety of reasons—they may need limited or specialized services, lack the staff, resources or equipment for a project, or have unique budget restrictions. The result is that contractors are an essential part of ensuring that Americans have safe, efficient and affordable utilities in their communities. And with budgets in flux and America’s infrastructure in decay, there’s no end to the opportunities available for wastewater rehab, inspection and maintenance businesses. Small contractors hoping to get into the game just need to know where to look.

Sewer pipes are subject to harsh pressures underground. While routine maintenance can help prolong lifespan, many pipes eventually begin to deteriorate and require more thorough rehabilitation.

Over the past 25 years, family-owned contracting company, Guerra Services, has stayed small and specialized, while vastly developing its services.

When Eric Werner, the owner of Montana Plumbing Company, saw an opportunity to grow his business by simply acquiring new equipment, he quickly pursued it.

Since opening its doors in 2006, South Carolina-based plumbing company, RooterNow, has continually invested in innovative equipment and technology to provide its customers with a greater deliverable than its competitors could.

The 2020 NASTT No-Dig Show has been postponed due to COVID-19, but PRT is continuing to support sewer rehab professionals with the equipment they need to maintain essential wastewater infrastructure. Take a look through the innovative sewer rehab equipment PRT will be bringing to the show floor once it's rescheduled. In the meantime, our equipment is available to buy or rent today, and our team is on-hand to provide you with free live video demos.

Profitability and Performance You Can Count On

Small-diameter pipe rehab can be lucrative work, if you have the right tools for the job. PRT’s Micro S Light+ rehab cutter balances both capability and value, giving your crew top-of-the-line performance while taking on a wide range of applications. Perfect for both horizontal and vertical work, this air-powered rehab cutter has excellent flexibility in bends, navigating smoothly through elbows in lined 4” pipe. Simply push it horizontally or drop vertically into place, inflate the bladder and let the automatic cutter rotation do the rest.
