When a commercial sewer line has failed past the point of spot repair, full replacement with trenchless methods keeps the project moving without shutting down operations for days. Dayton Nodig Sewer plans commercial replacement around business hours and installs pipe sized for the property's actual flow demand.

This service applies to properties where the existing line, often original to an older commercial building, has deteriorated across its length rather than at one isolated point.
