What is Trenchless Sewer Repair?

How Does Trenchless Sewer Repair Work?

Trenchless sewer repair involves several innovative techniques designed to rehabilitate or replace sewer lines with minimal digging. The two primary methods are pipe lining and pipe bursting.

In pipe lining, also known as cure-in-place piping, a flexible, resin-coated lining is inserted into the existing sewer pipe. The lining is inflated and hardened, creating a new, durable pipe within the old one. This technique is preferred for sealing cracks, leaks, and minor structural defects without excavation.

Pipe bursting is reserved for larger damages that require a pipe replacement. This method involves pulling a new pipe through the old, damaged sewer line. As the new pipe is pulled through, it breaks the old one apart, pushing the fragments into the surrounding soil.

The Benefits of Trenchless Sewer Repair

Trenchless sewer repair has become more and more popular for a range of reasons. For beginners, these methods are minimally disruptive, cost-effective, and faster than traditional methods. 

Trenchless technology reduces the need for extensive excavation, preserving your landscaping, driveways, and sidewalks. Your daily routine is also less affected since there's no need to vacate your property for extended periods.

While the upfront cost of trenchless sewer repair may be slightly higher than traditional methods, it often proves more cost-effective in the long run. Reduced labor and equipment costs, as well as less property damage, translate into savings!

Trenchless repair is typically completed faster than traditional methods. This means you can regain the full use of your sewer system sooner.
