What Is Trenchless Sewer Repair? Trenchless sewer repair refers to the repair or replacement of damaged underground sewer lines without creating a huge trench across your landscape, and prevents any possible damage to existing structures and driveways. These sewer lines may be of any length and diameter. Also, trenchless sewer repair is quicker, mkaes less noise, and less expensive than the traditional method that involves extensive digging through the ground. For trenchless sewer repair, two holes are created at the ends of the sewer line.

There are two main types of trenchless sewer repair. Sewer pipe relining is the insertion of a flexible liner through one hole and pulled through the existing pipe until it reaches the other hole. The liner is coated with epoxy resin. The liner is then unraveled using air into the old sewer line. The epoxy coated side is simultaneously pushed against the interior wall of the existing sewer line. Once in place, a bladder is inserted the full length of the new liner and inflated with high pressure,The sides of the liners then seals all the leaks and cracks of the damaged pipe. This method is usually employed if the existing pipe is of reasonable size for the number of occupants within the house or building, and is still within its normal lifespan. If done properly, sewer pipe relining may last for more than twenty or thirty years.

For sewer pipes that have suffered far greater damage, the other option is the use of sewer pipe bursting. A cable is run through the whole length of sewer line and connected to a tool called a bursting head. This bursting head is then that is attached to a replacement sewer pipe. With a power hydraulic winch, the bursting head is pulled through the sewer line, breaking up the old pipe while pulling the new pipe in behind it. Trenchless sewer repair is a modern method that is fast and avoids expensive damage to to your landscape. Your garage, sidewalks, and trees need not be disturbed. For a more stress-free way to maintain the plumbing, trenchless sewer line repair is your more logical option.
