Trenchless Sewer Line Repair Services

If drain cleaning options are working or aren’t available for your sewer line issue, trenchless sewer line repair may be a working solution for you.

This method uses specialize equipment to repair the line from within and all without the need for invasive sewer line excavation services.

There are two main solutions for trenchless sewer line repairs:

Pipe Relining

This is also known as cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) lining. It involves the insertion of a flexible lining material, with a resin coating, into your existing sewer line. The liner is inflated then cures, creating a brand new pipe all within the old one. This method also seals any cracks, gaps, as well as reinforces the structural integrity of the sewer pipe.

Pipe Bursting

The alternative method is to pull a new pipe through the old damaged pipe. Doing this fractures the old pipe but replaces it with the brand new one. To break apart the old pipe while a new one is installed, a bursting head is used. This process is more commonly used when the old line is too badly damage for pipe relining to be a possible solution.

These methods are durable, low disruption, time efficient, and cost effective solutions for many circumstances.

Our plumbers will provide you with a video camera inspection to help you understand visually the extent of damage to your line and explain why excavation is your last option.

Since these types of repairs are labor intensive, require much time, and are costly, plumbing companies would rather avoid this type of service if other, less demanding options are available.

Sewer Backwater Valve Services

In some areas, where sanitary sewer lines are prone to flooding or sewage blockages, a backwater valves is a helpful plumbing device to protect properties by preventing sewage backups from occurring.

Backflow from the municipality’s sewer system into your sewer drain line is not a common occurrence and is usually prevented by the design and slope of your property’s drainage system.

However, during periods of heavy rain, the city’s sewage system could become overloaded, causing a backflow of sewage into your property’s main sewer drain, potentially leading to a flood.

If you have concerns about your property, or have had a sewer drain backflow issue before, it’s best to consult with a licensed plumber for advice on the best solution for your system.

In many cases though, excavation of your property or demolition of flooring or wall section is required to create an access point to repair or install the valve.
