Trenchless Sewer Repair
Trenchless Sewer Repair
Trenchless sewer repair is a highly practical, non-invasive pipeline repair technique that offers property owners a relatively fast and simple alternative to the conventional excavation technique, which is often messy, inconvenient and expensive. Not only is it far less costly; it also saves damage to landscaping, streets, and driveways.
In most cases, tree roots, settling soil, rodent nests, or blockages cause sewer problems. Here’s a list of common issues that our trenchless sewer line work can solve:
- Corroded pipes
- Cracked pipes (plastic, lead, cast iron or clay)
- Pipe ruptures and misalignments
- Tree root blockages
- Backed-up sewer
- External damage by construction workers
How Does Repairing & Replacing A Trenchless Sewer Work?
Basically, the entire process involves inserting a new pipe into the existing, damaged one. The new pipe has a slightly smaller diameter and is made of an extremely thin and durable lining. In some cases, with only localized damage, only point or sectional repair is necessary. However, it’s important to note that damage can often indicate an aging sewer system. These sorts of systems will likely pose more problems in the future. In that case, it’s usually most cost-effective to do a complete relining.
