A bad sewer lateral used to mean a trench across the whole yard. In Olathe I fix most lines from one or two small access points, so your lawn, driveway, and trees stay where they are.

Johnson County's expansive clay soil makes it worse, swelling when it is wet and shrinking when it is dry, which shifts and cracks those old pipes. Then the roots from Olathe's mature trees work into the cracks and you have got slow drains and backups. I send a camera down the line first so we know exactly what is wrong before any digging.
When the pipe is cracked or root-filled but still holding its shape, cured-in-place lining is the cleanest repair. I saturate a liner with resin, pull it through the old pipe, and cure it in place to form a new seamless pipe inside the old one. The joints roots used to find are gone, and there is no trench across your Olathe yard. See my pipe lining page.
If the soil movement has collapsed or badly offset the lateral, a liner will not hold and the pipe has to be replaced. Pipe bursting does that without a long trench. I pull a new pipe along the old path while a bursting head splits the old pipe outward, working from two small pits instead of a ditch down the drive. More on my pipe bursting page.
