If your existing sewer line is no longer functioning normally due to damage or buildup of fats along its internal walls, you will want to have it replaced to prevent unsanitary backflow! If the area surrounding your house is landscaped or paved, you will have a lot of work to do to finish the job. In the absence of an alternative, you will certainly have a hard time digging and backfilling the trench, cleaning the mess you’ve created, and restoring the area back to its original state.
Luckily for you, there is an easier option for replacing damaged sewer lines called trenchless sewer line installation or pipe relining.
This process is done with replacing existing sewer lines without damaging your pavement or landscape. Here are some important facts that you should know about trenchless sewer line installation.
A trenchless sewer line refers to a new set of pipes used to replace your existing sewer line. It can be installed by one of two methods – pipe lining or pipe bursting
Pipe bursting method uses a machine to break out the old or worn out pipe while it lays the new pipe in place behind the old one. This method utilizes two holes – the first one is created at the exact spot the sewer line goes into your house while the other hole is made right where your sewer line meets with the main sewer.
The pipe lining method on the other hand, uses a resin-coated flexible pipe which is pulled through the old pipe to replace the old one. By the time the new pipe is set in the right place, the machine inflates it as the resin hardens in place to create a pipe within the old pipe.
Trenchless method of installing sewer lines is beneficial because it is less invasive compared to the traditional open cut method. This option will save you time, money and be less invasive on your landscape.
The viability of the trenchless technology can depend on a lot of factors such as the terrain, location and local statutes. Call K&P Rooter Service for your free consultation. Let’s discuss the best solution for your sewer line installation project today!
