Trenchless sewer repair is a relatively new repair method by which sewer pipes can be replaced without the need to completely dig up the piping. A less pricey option in the long run, trenchless sewer repair removes the annoyance of having your lawn or driveway dug up. So, if you are faced with the possible need for sewer repair at your Plymouth home, you likely have many questions about this amazing process. The experts at Gene’s Water & Sewer are here to answer all of your questions and give you a rundown of what a typical trenchless sewer repair looks like.
How does it work? It’s all about the lining. Cured In Place Pipe (CIPP) or epoxy lining provides the same strength as new piping can minus the hassle and cost of a dig.
How is the lining installed? The first step in trenchless sewer repair or replacement is an assessment of the situation. A camera is inserted into the pipe and we take a look at what needs to be fixed. We will eye up the issues and make sure there won’t be more problems down the line. We then try to make sure the pipe is as clean as possible, clearing out leaves, mud and other debris using high pressure water and some other tools.
Once the pipe is nice and clean, we put together the resin needed for the inside of the sewer lining. With resin poured into the liner, we put it through a machine to guarantee it’s evenly distributed throughout the liner, enabling even and ample attachment to the pipe.
With the sewer lining installed, a bladder is pushed through. Then we put hot water into the bladder and that cures the resin so the sewer lining fits tightly up against the old pipe. We then inspect the sewer lining with the camera again ensuring its proper placement.
Trenchless sewer repair is such a clean and efficient way to repair and replace your sewer. This process is highly desirable and eliminates the need to dig up those nasty sewer lines. You won’t need to worry about hiring yet another company to come to your home to replant your beautiful landscaping.
