When the plumbers arrived they told my folks that they would need tear up the entire front yard, as well as our driveway.

Things are totally different now. If you've a burst pipe, or if your pipes are leaking, you now can decide to have a trenchless sewer system installed instead. This process involves splitting the old pipe while inserting a new one, all done simultaneously.
First the plumbers dig what's called an insertion and retrieval pit. Then the trenchless bursting head is inserted into the old sewer pipe. A heavy wire is now pushed through the pipe from the retrieval pit. At the same time, new polyethylene pipe is pulled together with the bursting head.
Approximately every twenty feet the plumbers fuse the pipe together. This new pipe is highly immune to leaks and root intrusion, so it has a long life expectancy.
The simplicity and ease of trenchless sewer technology can mean huge savings when compared to other methods which involve having to landscape your home again after traditional repair work.
