Trenchless Sewer Line Services

The Key Benefits Of Trenchless Sewer Line Repairs Are:

• Quicker than traditional methods
• Cleaner with less damage to your property
• Generally lower costs due to jobs taking less time

Here Is How Most Trenchless Sewer Line Services Work:

• Your plumber will complete a sewer line inspection to locate the source of your plumbing problem, be it a crack in the pipe, a clog, a root intrusion, corrosion, etc.
• One relatively small pit is dug in your yard at the start of the problematic sewer line, usually adjacent to your home’s foundation.
• Another small pit is dug at the other end of the sewer line, which may be at the edge of your property or near the sidewalk.
• After being placed at either one of the pits, the portable auger equipped with a boring tip at the end of a flexible pipe or “snake.”
• The snake is fed through the existing and damaged sewer line until it emerges out of the other pit. Along the way, the boring tip breaks apart the preexisting pipe and pushes its pieces into the surrounding soil.
• At the second pit, the snake is fitted with replacement piping before it is fed back through to the first pit. Along the way, the new piping is put in place, right where the previous, damaged pipe was once placed.
• Your plumber will inspect and finalize the new piping connections and make other adjustments as needed afterward. However, for the most part, the trenchless sewer line service is done!
