Understanding the Basics of Trenchless Sewer Repair

For homeowners, the threat of a sewer line break is especially alarming. Because these pipes are hidden far beneath the ground, they often go unnoticed and can be expensive to fix. Traditional methods of repair required tearing apart your soil and trees to get access to the broken pipe. Trenchless sewer repair, however, is a new method that allows your outside home to remain intact as plumbers work to fix your sewer line.

Homeowners should have their pipes checked regularly so that problems can be detected, especially for homes that are over forty years old. Professionals can use cameras to detect any problems with your pipes before the damage becomes severe. When damage is detected, trenchless sewer repair can be used to combat the problem without inflicting significant harm to your surrounding home. Instead of tearing apart your whole yard to gain access to the pipes, only a small number of strategic holes are put in place. Plumbing technicians then are able to use the sewer line already present as a guide for installing a new, fully functioning one.

During the process, a cone-shaped tool is inserted into the damaged pipe with the new pipe firmly attached. Aa hydraulic pump and steel cable pulls the new pipe through. The old and damaged pipe is then destroyed and replaced with the new one. With this process, you don’t have to worry about fixing destroyed lawn, asphalt, trees, and pavement.
