  • Traditional sewer pipe repair or replacement methods involved the necessary but time-consuming and laborious task of digging a large, deep trench across a homeowner's lawn to access buried pipes. This was, needless to say, a costly, destructive process. Fortunately, we now have access to trenchless technology that allows our professional plumbers to repair trenchless sewer lines faster, more effectively, and with minimal damage to your property. Moving past more time-consuming, destructive conventional methods, trenchless technology enables us to install replacement pipes hassle-free!

  • The first thing we need to do is gather information about the problem to determine the best way to tackle your sewer services. We'll begin with a detailed inspection, including a drain camera inspection with a small video camera attached to a flexible cable. Once our licensed plumbers know more about what's going on with your broken pipe, we'll come up with a repair strategy and offer you an upfront, flat-rate cost for the necessary work, so you can decide for yourself what should happen next.

HydroScrub® Jetting

Hydro jetting is typically used for drain cleaning services because the machine produces high-pressure water jets to blast away clog-causing debris. We also combine it with environmentally-friendly cleaning products that contain friendly bacteria that consume organic components, unlike corrosive chemical products.

However, hydro jetting is also helpful in some sewer line repair situations, such as tree root invasions. The high-pressure jets can cut through roots and push them out of the pipe, which is necessary to carry out the next step of structural pipe lining.

Pipe Lining

This trenchless method of sewer repair or sewer line replacement is a non-invasive, highly effective technique for sealing up cracks, gaps, and other issues on a buried sewer line. A "sleeve" or liner saturated with epoxy resin is inserted into the pipe and pressed against the line's interior with an inflatable tube. When the epoxy cures and hardens, the inflatable tube is removed, and the pipe essentially has a new line inside it that is durable and long-lasting.

Pipe Bursting

On the other hand, hydraulic bursting involves drilling a couple of access holes. We’ll use hydraulic power to break the damaged sewer pipe section and pull out the small pieces through one access hole and through the other one, we’ll pull a brand-new sewer replacement section into place. This may be your preferred method if the damage is more severe.

Trenchless Sewer Line Repair FAQs

  • We mentioned above that tree root intrusion can be a big problem for buried sewage pipes. The damage occurs because the roots wrap themselves around underground lines and grow, applying immense pressure that can crack the pipe. When the roots get inside and start being nourished by the wastewater, their growth rate increases, and they can block off an entire pipe. Another big problem is fat, oil or grease that gets washed down a kitchen sink drain. It coats the inside of your sewer line and solidifies, making a big, sticky mess that catches other debris and creates a major clog that can lead to a ruptured pipe. Some other factors that contribute to the need for trenchless sewer line repair are:

    • Paper towels, “flushable” wipes (they are not truly flushable), tissues, newspaper, feminine hygiene products, and excessive toilet paper
    • Food particles, especially items that can turn into a sand-like texture such as eggshells
    • Smaller objects like razor blades, bottle caps and little toys that accidentally fall down the drain
    • Harsh storms, heavy construction nearby, and earth tremors can cause shifting soil that damages buried sewer lines
    • The freeze and thaw cycle in winter freezes groundwater until it constricts buried lines, which can crack them
