When it comes to determining methods for pipe repair, the first step is a diagnostic one. To get a good view of your underground pipes, a thorough inspection needs to be done to pinpoint the location and source of the problem. Our experienced team utilizes a range of tools, including acoustic listening gear for detecting slab leaks, infrared cameras to indicate a leak, and video pipe inspections.
In a video pipe inspection, we'll take a small camera that's affixed with an LED light and attached to the end of a fiber-optic cable and feed it into your underground drain pipes. This gives your expert plumber a first-person view of the inside of your sewer line, letting them determine what the cause of the problem is as well as its location.
Pipe Lining
One of the methods for pipe repair that's used in a trenchless pipe replacement is known as pipe lining. It's one of the trenchless methods that our expert plumbers might use in your trenchless sewer repair in Woodbridge. It also means minimal damage to your property.
Pipe lining is known by a few different names. These include epoxy pipe lining, CIPP (cured-in-place pipe lining), and pipe relining. It's minimally invasive where your plumber creates what's essentially a brand-new pipe within your existing ones, without the need for excavation trenches.
After a video inspection of your pipes, they'll be cleaned out by a hydro jetting service. Once that's done, the pipe lining is inserted and, using inflation, pushed into the shape and size of your existing pipe. The result is a brand-new pipe that's built to last and eliminates the problems you were experiencing before. It's a good option for those looking for a trenchless sewer repair in Woodbridge.
Pipe Bursting
Another option for trenchless pipe repairs is known as pipe bursting. It's a relatively non-invasive method of pipe replacement, which works by forcing the existing pipe to shatter by way of a hydraulic tool or device. For a trenchless sewer repair in Woodbridge, it's an excellent solution if the pipe is too damaged or too small.
Pipe bursting is an efficient method where the broken-up pipe is then replaced by a new one, that's threaded through the space left by the old one. It's efficient for replacing pipes that are damaged, aging, or undersized for your household. The main benefits of pipe bursting are that it's minimally invasive and saves time and resources. It's one of the options that our experts might recommend for a trenchless sewer repair in Woodbridge.
