SEWER LINE REPAIR OPTIONS

When it’s determined that your sewer line needs repairs or replaced entirely, there are two ways to proceed: trenchless or traditional.

TRADITIONAL EXCAVATION

• Main sewer line repair is necessary when there are cracks or holes in the sewer line.
• Main sewer line replacement is necessary when the damage (cracks, holes, bellies, and/or channeling) is severe and repairs won’t be able to correct the line entirely.

TRENCHLESS REPAIR

• Trenchless sewer line repair uses specific equipment/technology to fix cracks and holes in sewer line pipes without digging up lawns and landscaping.
• Trenchless sewer line replacement uses specific equipment/technology to replace a sewer pipe that has extensive erosion or damage.

WHY TRENCHLESS SEWER LINE REPAIR & REPLACEMENT IS NOT THE BEST OPTION

Trenchless options have their benefits, like repairing a draining system without having to dig up landscaping, but there are certain instances where trenchless pipe repair is not the best option, such as:

• Your pipes are beyond their useful lifespan
• Your pipes contain a significant amount of corrosion
• Part of your pipe has collapsed

It’s important to note that sewer pipes can be notoriously difficult to trace – especially if you live in an old house or own an old building/facility with old piping.

Because of this, it’s exceedingly beneficial to contact a team, like Sewer Cleaning Company, who can accurately determine the root cause of the issue, assess the complete spectrum of damage, and give you an honest recommendation of which sewer line repair route is best for your home, building, or property.

It is commonly thought that trenchless repair and replacement does not involve excavation or digging, and that is not the case.
