What Is Sewer Pipe Lining?
Sewer pipe lining is a modern, less invasive way to fix damaged sewer pipes without digging up your yard. It’s also known as trenchless sewer pipe repair. Two main methods include:
- Pipe Bursting: We break the old, compromised pipe while simultaneously pulling a new pipe into place.
- Relining: We insert a smaller, flexible pipe into the existing damaged pipe, essentially restoring the current system. Once in place, we cure the liner so it hardens, forming a new pipe inside the old one.
The Pipe Lining Process
Whether we use pipe bursting or relining, here’s what you can expect when you receive our pipe lining services:
- We inspect your pipes using high-tech cameras.
- We measure and clean the existing pipe before starting any work.
- We carefully insert the new tube or pipe into the damaged line.
- In pipe bursting, the old pipe slowly breaks as the new one is inserted. In relining, we cure the liner to secure it in place, effectively sealing it within the old pipe.
- We do a final camera inspection to ensure everything is properly installed.
The Benefits of Sewer Pipe Lining
Pipe lining offers several advantages over traditional sewer pipe replacement, such as:
- Less disruption to your property
- Faster completion time
- Often more cost-effective than full replacement
- Improved flow capacity
- Increased pipe lifespan
What Is Sewer Pipe Replacement?
Sometimes, pipes are too damaged for trenchless sewer repair. In these cases, we offer sewer pipe replacement services. Using an excavation method, we dig up the old pipe and replace it entirely. This is best for severely damaged or collapsed pipes, such as those that have been penetrated by tree roots.
How Long Does Sewer Pipe Lining Last?
When done right, sewer pipe lining can last 50 years or more! It’s a durable, long-term sewer line repair option.
The Risks of Ignoring Sewer Issues
Sewer line issues can cause serious damage to your home and property, such as:
- Water damage to your home’s foundation
- Unhygienic conditions and health risks
- Foul odors and pest infestations
- Costly emergency repairs
- Damage to your landscaping
