If you suspect a problem with your sewer line, schedule a camera inspection to identify the issue. We will use a high-definition camera and monitor to examine your drain pipes and sewer line. This process allows us to diagnose any problems and determine how to resolve them. Plumbers generally avoid sewer repairs that require excavation. This is because they are often time-consuming and expensive, disrupting your daily life. Once you commit to digging, it usually makes more sense to schedule our company’s sewer line replacement.
Homeowners have several effective trenchless sewer repair options available, including both short-term and long-term solutions. Two notable options that don’t require digging are pipe lining and pipe bursting. Pipe lining addresses small cracks and other minor imperfections in sewer pipes. During the process, we insert an epoxy-saturated liner into the pipe and then inflate it. This process allows the liner to cure and reconstitute the inner walls of the pipe.
Generally, we conduct hydro jetting before we turn to pipe lining services. A hydro jet is a machine that mixes air and water and releases it under high pressure. We use it to break up blockages, and a specialized head cleans any buildup from the inside of the pipe walls. If the condition of a pipe is too poor for hydro jetting, we often recommend pipe bursting. This process uses a bursting head to break apart the old pipe and install a new one.
