Mountain West is licensed and insured and based in Kaysville, Utah. We handle sewer, drain, and drainage system work, including pipe lining, pipe bursting, conventional excavation, and full replacement. Every possible outcome of a trenchless assessment falls within our scope. If the line qualifies for trenchless, we do the work. If it does not, we handle the conventional alternative. No referrals. No subcontracting. No second company.
We carry camera and jetting equipment on every service call. The camera is rated to 200 feet with live footage review. The jetting system clears lines 2 to 12 inches at 3,850 PSI and 8 GPM with 300 feet of reach. On a trenchless assessment call, the line gets jetted clean so the camera sees actual pipe condition - not debris or root mass sitting in front of the damage. The camera footage is what determines the method. You see the same footage we base the recommendation on.
Two trenchless methods are available depending on what the camera shows:
Pipe lining - A resin-saturated liner is inserted through the cleanout, inflated against the pipe walls, and cured into a rigid tube. The existing pipe stays in the ground as a host. Lining works when the pipe is cracked, has joint separation, or has root entry points - but the walls are still intact and round. No excavation.
Pipe bursting - A bursting head fractures the old pipe outward while pulling new HDPE pipe through the same path. The old pipe is destroyed and replaced with new pipe. Two access pits at each end of the run - no trench between them. Bursting works when the pipe needs full replacement but the path is navigable.
