Many sewer lines will need replacement due to different factors. But sometimes the main problem here is the actual process, often using very disruptive excavation methods. Trenchless pipe replacement solves both issues with clean and efficient solutions. Using trenchless sewer line repair in Auburn, CA, provides the same pipe quality and durability.
Trenchless Pipe And Sewer Replacement Methods
Trenchless pipe replacement focuses the work on the pipe. All work focuses on the underground space by using access points, cleanouts, or the nearest sewer hole. In rare cases, plumbing technicians only use a small hole on one end. It doesn’t use large-scale excavation, and saves time, money, and major landscaping or structure damage.
If the pipe still has most of its frame and structure intact, trenchless sewer repair works. It achieves this by using a flexible liner coated with epoxy resin on the whole pipe. Plumbing technicians insert it into the damaged pipe, which applies the resin layer. It cures in place with heat or UV light in place. The result is a seamless, joint-free pipe inside.
Full sewer replacement is often recommended when a long stretch of pipe is already compromised. Trenchless slip-lining is another replacement method for it. This installs a slightly smaller pipe into the existing one. Plumbing technicians fill the ends and spaces between the pipes with epoxy resin to seal them.
Trenchless sewer repair services use pipe bursting for already unusable pipes with severe damage or collapse. Boring machines destroy the pipe while pulling a new pipe in place. It is the most efficient method for replacing pipes that are already beyond repair and cannot use pipe lining methods. It is also effective for replacing and upgrading outdated pipes made of cast iron, galvanized steel, or polybutylene.
Horizontal directional drilling is also an effective pipe replacement method. It involves installing a new pipe in the most suitable location. A ground boring machine drills the pipe space while pulling in the new pipe. It’s effective for relocating pipes to the best position or to prevent damage.
