Does Your Sewer Need a Repair?

Prevention is always better and more cost-effective than cure, so it's wise to carry out regular maintenance and watch for issues with your sewer line before anything significant breaks. There will be some telltale signs that your pipes are on thin ice. If you spot any of the following indicators around your property, it may be time to invest in trenchless sewer pipe repair:

Sewer pipe damage: Cracks or breaks in sewer pipes are often caused by age, temperature fluctuations, corrosion or soil movement. They can leak water into the ground, allowing tree roots to creep in and clog the pipes.
Clogged sewer pipes: The inside of iron pipes breaks down over time, leaving a rough surface that snags flushed materials, grease or mineral buildup. Clogs can lead to backed-up sewer lines, overflows and floods.
Bellied or sagging pipes: Sewer pipes can bend due to soil erosion or poor installation, disrupting the smooth water flow. This can lead to stagnant water, odor issues, blockages and structural damage.
Leaking pipe joints: Sewer pipe joints usually leak because of wear and tear from erosion, corrosion and ground movement, but blockages can also cause water pressure to rise and spring leaks.

What Is Trenchless Sewer Repair?

Traditional sewer pipe repair requires an excavator to dig up a large chunk of ground so plumbers can access the old pipes, patch them up or swap them out with polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipes. With this outdated method, your yard or perimeter will turn into a construction site, possibly for weeks at a time — an inconvenient, costly and unsightly process.

Trenchless sewer line repair significantly improves on traditional methods by using a “no-dig” solution that's quicker, less intrusive and more cost-effective. Plumbers will inspect the pipes using innovative camera equipment to find the problem and plan a solution. They'll then clean out the existing pipes and remove blockages to make space for trenchless replacement pipes or lining to be installed within the old pipe, effectively repairing or replacing it from the inside.

r accurately finding your pipes, which eliminates the guesswork and room for error when you need to have someone dig down to fix leaks or problems. This could save you money by the end of a repair or landscaping project that requires digging.

Whatever the reason you have for wanting to know where your pipes are located (maybe you’re a curious new homeowner), we can help. You will receive an experienced technician at every visit and we guarantee professionalism.

The Primary Forms of Trenchless Sewer Repair

Cured-In-Place Pipe Lining

Trenchless cured-in-place pipe lining is an excellent sewer line repair strategy for aged or damaged cast iron, terracotta, clay, concrete or composite pipes. Many cities in the United States, such as Cambridge, Massachusetts, are now upgrading their public sewer lines with CIPP trenchless technology to create a more durable sewer system without vulnerable joints or corroding materials.

To install CIPP lining, licensed pipe liners use specialized machinery to push a flexible tube through the existing pipe using compressed air. The tube is made of malleable felt, fiberglass or polyester fabric soaked in resin. Because it's still supple at this stage, the tube molds to the bends and bulges of the old pipe. Once in place, the resin is cured using UV light, steam or time, creating an incredibly sturdy new pipe in the shape of its predecessor.

Epoxy Pipe Coating

Epoxy pipe coating adds many years of health to your existing pipes by sealing small cracks and providing a durable, smooth, cylindrical surface for water to run through. For pipes with large cracks, breaks or significant corrosion, CIPP would be a better choice, as epoxy pipe coating works together with the original, damaged pipe instead of replacing it.

To apply no-dig epoxy pipe coating, licensed pipe liners insert a long hose powered by air pressure into the pipe. The hose has a sprayer at its tip that spins, distributing an even layer of resin around the pipe. Licensed pipe liners slowly pull the hose out, coating the entire pipe along the way.

What Are the Benefits of Trenchless Pipe Repair?

No-dig sewer maintenance has several advantages, which is why it's become so popular among homeowners, governments and businesses worldwide. Compared to traditional methods, trenchless sewer line replacements are:

Less disruptive: Little to no digging is required, leaving gardens, driveways, sidewalks, workplaces and homes undisturbed.
More cost-effective: Trenchless solutions require less labor, equipment and land restoration, making them financially superior in the long run.
Significantly time-saving: Excavators don't need to hollow out large spaces to access pipes and then fill them back in, so the job gets done more quickly, reducing downtime.
Longer-lasting: Pipes installed via the CIPP method are highly durable, making your sewer system resistant to roots, cracks and deterioration over time.
Environmentally friendly: No-dig methods disrupt far less soil. There are fewer carbon emissions from heavy machinery, and soil contamination and erosion risks are low.
