What Is Trenchless Sewer Repair?

Trenchless sewer repair is a modern, no-dig solution to repairing sewer lines. This technique allows us to fix or replace your sewer pipes without the need to excavate your yard, preserving your landscaping, driveway, and peace of mind. It’s not only less invasive but often quicker and more cost effective than traditional sewer repair methods.

Techniques Repair Techniques We Use:

Trenchless Pipe Bursting Method: This method involves breaking apart your old, damaged sewer line from the inside out while simultaneously pulling a new pipe into place. It’s an excellent choice for completely replacing an old sewer pipe without digging up your entire yard. The “bursting head” breaks the existing pipe, and the new pipe, often made of durable high-density polyethylene, takes its place.

Trenchless Pipe Lining: Also known as Cured-in-Place Pipe (CIPP), this technique involves inserting a flexible, resin-coated tube into the damaged pipe. We then use compressed air or water to expand the tube. As the resin hardens, it creates a new pipe within the old one, sealing any cracks or holes. The Trenchless Pipe Lining method is ideal for repairing existing pipes with minimal damage, extending their lifespan without needing a full replacement.

Benefits of Trenchless Sewer Repair

Trenchless sewer repair from Pipeworks Plumbing and Construction offers several key advantages, making it a preferred choice for homeowners and businesses:

Cost-Effectiveness: Trenchless repair methods can be significantly more economical than traditional excavation methods. By avoiding the need for extensive digging, we save on labor and restoration costs, passing those savings on to you.

Minimal Damage: One of the biggest benefits is the negligible impact on your property. Traditional sewer repairs can ruin landscaping, driveways, and even structures with the required digging. Our trenchless solutions keep your yard intact and your structures unharmed, maintaining your property’s beauty and value.

Faster Repair Times: Trenchless sewer repairs are typically completed much quicker than conventional methods. This efficiency reduces the disruption to your daily life or business operations, getting your plumbing system back in order in less time.

Environmental Advantages: By avoiding extensive excavation, trenchless repairs are much less disruptive to the environment. This approach minimizes the disturbance to local ecosystems and reduces the amount of dirt and debris that would otherwise be sent to landfills.

Our Trenchless Repair Services

At our Plumbing Company, Pipeworks Plumbing and Construction, we specialize in two main trenchless repair techniques, each selected to best address the specific issues of your sewer lines:

Pipe Bursting: Ideal for completely replacing an existing sewer line, this method involves breaking apart the existing pipe while simultaneously pulling through a new, durable pipe. This technique allows us to replace your old sewer line without disrupting your property. The new pipes used are often made from high-density polyethylene, offering long-lasting durability against leaks, root intrusion, and other common plumbing issues.

Pipe Lining: When the existing pipes are largely intact and only need repairs to fix leaks or minor damages, pipe lining is often the recommended approach. This process involves inserting a resin-coated liner into the old pipe, which is then inflated to adhere to the interior walls, effectively creating a “pipe within a pipe.” This method extends the life of your existing sewer lines without the need for a full replacement.

Our Process

Our trenchless sewer repair process at Pipeworks Plumbing and Construction is streamlined and efficient, designed to get your plumbing back in optimal condition with minimal disruption. Here’s how we do it:

1. Initial Inspection: Every repair starts with a comprehensive evaluation. We use state-of-the-art video cameras to inspect your sewer lines from the inside, identifying the exact location and extent of the damage. This non-invasive technique allows us to diagnose issues without any digging.

2. Cleaning the Pipes: Before any repairs can begin, the existing pipes must be thoroughly cleaned. We typically use hydro jetting, a process that employs high-pressure water to remove any buildup, debris, or roots that are obstructing the pipes. This step ensures that the lining or bursting process can proceed smoothly.

3. Assessing Pipe Integrity: Based on the initial inspection and cleaning, we assess the integrity of the existing pipes. This evaluation helps us determine whether pipe lining or pipe bursting will be the most effective solution, taking into account factors like the pipe’s material, condition, and the surrounding soil.

4. Custom Solutions: Every situation is unique, and we tailor our approach accordingly. Whether your pipes are best served by lining or bursting, we’ll provide a clear, detailed plan of action. Our solutions are designed not just to repair the immediate issue but to enhance the overall functionality and longevity of your sewer system.

5. The Repair or Replacement Procedure: For pipe lining, we insert a resin-coated tube into the damaged pipe and cure it in place, effectively creating a new, seamless pipe within the old one. In cases where pipe bursting is the better option, we use a bursting head to break apart the old pipe while pulling a new pipe into place behind it.

6. Final Inspection: After the repair or replacement is complete, we conduct a final inspection with our video cameras to ensure the integrity of the new or repaired pipe and to verify that the issue has been fully resolved.

FAQs

When Is Trenchless Sewer Repair Necessary?

Trenchless sewer repair is required for issues like sewer line damage, leaks, blockages, or deterioration, evident through slow drains, foul odors, sewage backups, and sinkholes in your yard.

How Does Trenchless Sewer Repair Work?

Trenchless sewer repair involves minimal digging to repair pipes underground using methods like pipe lining (cured-in-place pipe lining) and pipe bursting. Pipe lining inserts a resin-coated liner into the old pipe, which is then expanded and cured to form a new pipe inside the old one. Pipe bursting involves breaking the old pipe apart and replacing it with a new one using a bursting head.

How Long Does Trenchless Sewer Repair Take?

The duration varies depending on the job’s complexity, damaged pipe length, and method used. Generally, it’s quicker than traditional methods, ranging from a day for simple repairs to a few days for extensive ones.

Is Trenchless Sewer Repair More Expensive Than Traditional Methods?

While the initial costs might be slightly higher, trenchless repair can be more cost-effective in the long run. Savings from reduced landscaping restoration, less disruption, and the durability of repairs make it a financially sensible option.

When is Trenchless Sewer Repair Not Possible?

Trenchless repair might not be suitable for all situations. For example, the method used depends on the material of your pipes. Pipe lining might not be an option for galvanized steel pipes, while pipe bursting may not work with cast iron pipes. Additionally, if the pipes are completely shattered, neither technique would be feasible as the structural integrity of the pipe is required for lining, and space is needed for bursting. The availability of these services also depends on whether local plumbers are trained in these newer technologies.
