Understanding Trenchless Pipe Repair
Burying a sewer line isn’t a big deal when the building site is barren from construction equipment and previous excavation. But, when it comes time to uncover the sewer line for repairs after the site is finished and landscaping is established, the project can cause much damage. The associated costs of rehabilitating a property and the hassle of traditional sewer line repairs employing plumbing excavation can make the project a huge hassle. But now, there is a better way.
With trenchless sewer line repairs, sewer pipes can be repaired with much less invasive methods and at a lower cost than traditional repairs. Here is a quick guide from local plumbers to help customers understand their options when they need to hire help for sewer line repairs.
What Methods Are Common?
With conventional sewer line repairs, a new trench must be dug or the old pipe uncovered. With trenchless sewer methods, only two holes must be made. These two holes correspond to the beginning and end of a sewer line, allowing plumbers to access the existing sewer pipe with their equipment. Each type of trenchless sewer pipe repair method passes a sturdy metal cable into the existing sewer line. From there, three options are available to make repairs. They are:
- Cured-In-Place: This method involves a fiberglass sleeve and epoxy. The sleeve is inserted into the tube using the cable. Once in place, the sleeve is cured in place with epoxy.
- Pipe Bursting: A new flexible sewer line is attached to the cable running through the existing pipe. As the cable winches out, a powerful head fractures the existing pipe to make a path for the new one. The new sewer line is a jointless pipe following the exact path as the old one.
- Slip Lining: A slightly smaller diameter pipe is attached to the cable and pulled backward through the old pipe, giving the existing pipe a new interior lining that is leak-free and rated for decades.
What Problems Are Trenchless Repair Methods Used to Fix?
The nice thing about trenchless pipe repair methods is that they can fix any problem common with older sewer pipes. Instead of only having a narrow application, this technology is quickly becoming the future of sewer line repairs. Some of the problems that trenchless pipe repair methods can be used to fix are:
- Cracked iron pipes
- Clay pipe replacement
- Minor misalignment from shifting soils
- Invasive tree roots
- Problems caused by corrosion
Benefits of Non-Invasive Sewer Line Repair
Trenchless sewer pipe repair results from decades of innovation and dissatisfaction with traditional sewer line repairs. It follows, therefore, that the benefits of trenchless pipe repair are the complete opposite of the drawbacks of traditional sewer line repairs. Some of the problems that trenchless sewer line repairs have fixed in the sewer repair industry are:
- Repairs are far less invasive
