What is Trenchless Sewer Repair?
When you imagine sewer repair, you probably think of a destroyed yard, flower beds askew, and maybe even the street being dug up. Trenchless sewer repair actually does very little of this and can be completed within a day or two. With this process, we’ll view your pipes with a camera and determine the most shallow access point. After determining the most shallow access point, we will hydro jet that pipe, and then remove any excess debris with an auger or mechanical snake.
After the pipe has been cleaned well, we will insert a new lining to cover any damaged areas and allow it to cure. Finally, we will re-examine the pipe with our cameras and turn the water back on.
How to Prevent Sewer Line Problems
The easiest way to prevent sewer line problems is by following a simple maintenance schedule. The type of maintenance performed depends on your sewage lines, but it is always recommended to have the lines inspected at least once per year. Here is what you can expect maintenance to look like on each type of sewage pipe:
- CAST IRON- cast iron is the modern choice for pipes, but if left alone pipe scale can form and eventually clog the line. Snaking the line yearly should be sufficient maintenance, but if this has not been done in a while, hydro jetting may be encouraged
- FIBER CONDUIT- used often in the 1950’s and 1960’s, these pipes are made of rolled wood pulp and tar. The typical advised maintenance for this type of line is hydro jetting
- CLAY- generally used in homes that date pre-1950’s, they are made out of clay. Because of this, the joints are every 50 feet or so which means trees tend to grow into them. Snaking the lines once per year with root cutting equipment is advised as maintenance
This maintenance might not prevent every major clog from occurring but will certainly lessen the chance of them happening. If you are unsure of the types of pipe used, or if they are in good enough condition for maintenance, ask our technicians!
