Once complete, we test the new pipe for its strength, and as an extra precaution, we send a camera through to make sure all is well. Once clear, we get to work and start building your new pipe within the old. When we arrive, we clear the pipe of any debris using hydro-jets. With this process, we figure out the size, direction, and length we need to fix. Trenchless technology is a perfected 25+-year-old process. It comes down to what makes sense for you and us. However, you really can’t perform pipe bursting under your foundation, so that’s where pipelining comes in to allow for trenchless repair inside your home. Why spend more money on technology when you can have the same outcome but spend less money? Pipe bursting costs less than pipelining. As we pull a new pipe, we burst the old pipe out of the way to make room for the new pipe. If the pipe that needs fixing is outside your house, we’re like to use a pipe bursting process, and it’s what it sounds like. Basically, we create a new pipe inside your old one (it’s like double bagging at the grocery store). If the pipe needs fixing inside the house, we’ll likely use a process called pipelining. We use pipe bursting or pipelining depending on where the needed fix is.

There is no scar left on your yard or your floor. Sewer line repair? What sewer line repair? As items get caught in the belly, they’ll build up and cause blockage in the sewer line. That belly holds water and whenever solids or paper go down the sewer line, it’s like hitting the pool of water at a water park-it slows down anything that lands in it. The next common cause for a main line issue happens when the ground settles around the line creating what we call a belly in the line - a high point on either side and a low point in the center. Obsolete pipes like clay and orangeburg are no longer viable and are collapsing from ground pressure. As the roots become established inside the pipe, toilet paper or other waste gets caught on the roots and stop the flow of waste.Ĭollapsed pipes are another common cause of backups. Roots pester the sewage pipe till they breach it and take root. Trees love sewage they love the nutrients, water, and moisture living inside the pipe. Root growth is one of the primary causes of backups. The stoppage must be located, identified, and removed. The sewer line (also known as the main line) carries wastewater and sewage from your house to either the septic system or municipal sewer.īackups are caused by a block or stoppage somewhere in the sewer line.
