Say no to digging. If you are having issues with your sewer lines, know that destructively excavating those problematic pipes is not the only solution.
Why go for trenchless sewer repair?
Trenchless sewer repair can keep things in order without destroying your landscape. This means sewer repair only requires holes for exit and entrance, and that’s about it.
What about the cost?
Although the service is more expensive than a sewer line replacement method that involves digging, you will end up saving more money because you don’t have to restore your beautiful lawn. Expect to pay $100 and $200 per foot for trenchless sewer repair. This is just an estimate. The real cost will also depend on your landscaping. Before you make a decision, you can ask for a free estimate.
How does trenchless sewer repair work?
After the entry and exit holes have been created, a steel cable is inserted at the entrance point and moved through the old sewer pipeline. A hard steel bursting head is attached at the end. With the help of a hydraulic system, the cable is pulled to the other end (at the exit point). In this process, the old pipe bursts, and the new pipe is pulled in until it reaches the exit. It is the less messy option for homeowners.
Is the pipe quality decent?
The best pipe to use is High Density Polyethylene Pipe (HDPP) as the replacement pipe. Compared to old clay, cast iron, or PVC plastic pipes, HDPE pipe is tougher against corrosion. The joints are also stronger so they are leak proof. How long does this type of material last? Manufactures claim that the service life of HDPE is about 200 years. It should be your pipe of choice.
