Trenchless Sewer Repair

Trenchless sewer repair and replacement, please explain what it is?

Well, trenchless sewer line replacement is here to stay. The traditional way of replacing a sewer line is to dig up the pipe, by hand or with a machine, and install in a new one. This way is very labor intensive old way and can be very costly when a line is in a difficult position, such as under a house, a road or under concrete.

The trenchless sewer replacement technology saves valuable money and time and is particularly efficient when the sewer line is under a house, a driveway, a big tree, or a sidewalk.

So how does trenchless sewer replacement work?

Using this type of sewer pipe replacement method we excavate a hole at the building where the cast iron pipe goes under the house and we then dig a small hole at the end near the curb at the street. We expose the sewer drain in each excavated hole and cut out small sections of pipe. Next, we feed a large strong 3/4 inch steel cable between the two excavations. Attached to this cable is a large heavy metal cone shaped head that breaks the old pipe in place to exactly the size of the new trenchless pipe. The new sewer drain is actually a black plastic pipe about 4 or 6 inches in diameter. This sewer drain is joined together by melting the ends of the pipe and joining them to create one continuous length of sewer drain without any joints, eliminating tree roots and leaks.

As we pull the cable through the sewer drain with 3 tons of pressure, the splitting head bursts the old sewer drain and pushes it out of the way making room for the new sewer drain.

The actual replacement of the sewer drain usually only takes only two or three hours and the work can be done within one day. There is no problem pulling through under slabs of concrete or even residential and commercial buildings. This trenchless sewer replacement technology works well and because the new sewer drain has no joints, is flexible so it will never crack or break and no roots can get into it.

The new sewer drain also called HDPE pipe is very smooth internally so the sewer drain pipe is very efficient for water, debris and toilet solids to flow freely.
