What is Trenchless Sewer Pipe Repair? And How Does it Work?
So what is trenchless sewer pipe repair? And how does it work? Trenchless pipe repair aims to restore existing pipes internally rather than going through a destructive digging process. More traditional methods would often remove large sections of flooring & foundation, and even leave a building’s pipes exposed.
After initial inspection and cleanings, trenchless pipe repair service works by the installation of a liner to existing pipes. The liner, also known as an epoxy-saturated tube, is flexible and high-tech. The application of this liner essentially creates a new pipe within the older and deteriorated pipes.
Because of its flexible nature, the liner is able to respond to diameter changes, other connections, and bends within the existing pipes. Once the liner has settled, it will harden and become 100% sealed and solid, erasing all existing plumbing issues with its new structure.
What Leads to Sewer Issues in Your Business?
Just because you’re a business, doesn’t mean your property can’t experience sewer issues. These four issues can lead to sewer problems for your business:
Sewer Pipe Damage
Caused by shifting soil, settling, or construction, sewer pipes can become damaged or broken. Sewage will then be unable to drain properly through the sewer system leading to backups.
Tree Roots
If your business has older sewer lines, it’s common to find that they were made with less-than-sufficient materials. Those flimsy materials are more susceptible to tree roots growing into the pipes, causing them to break or become damaged.
Flushing Debris
Another common mishap that leads to sewer issues is the flushing of debris. Debris that isn’t meant to be flushed down the toilet can cause significant clogging and other issues.
Grease in Drains
When cooking oily or greasy foods at your business, make sure to dispose of leftover grease correctly. While dumping grease down a sink may seem to be the best course of action, that grease will harden and lead to blockages and even burst pipes.
Pipe Bursting
Pipe bursting is a type of trenchless sewer line repair that does require some excavation. Holes are dug at entry and exit points where the sewer line is being replaced, but this method involves much less digging than traditional methods.
Pipe bursting involves completely replacing old lines with new ones by using a bursting head. This bursting head travels through existing lines and breaks and pushes them away, making space for the new line.
Cured-in-Place Pipelining (CIPP)
CIPP requires no digging and uses epoxy to reinforce and seal broken pipes internally. A liner soaked with epoxy is inserted into the existing and damaged pipes, and then the liner expands and dries within the pipe’s walls. Once it has been cured, the liner aims to fix cracks and other pipe damage.
CIPP decreases the diameter of existing sewer lines, so it isn’t the best method of use if the pipes have been under repair previously.
Slip Lining
The last type is known as slip lining, the original trenchless sewer line repair method. A liner commonly made of plastic materials is slipped into to fix leaks. Like pipe bursting, slip lining also requires two pits located at the entry and exit of the pipe being repaired. And like CIPP, slip lining decreases the diameter of existing sewer lines.
Saving Money
Because trenchless sewer pipe repair doesn’t require vast amounts of excavation, labor costs are heavily decreased on your bill.
Environmentally Friendly
With no need for heavy machinery and the burning of fossil fuels, trenchless sewer pipe repair is much more sustainable and environmentally friendly than other traditional methods.
Higher Quality
Traditional sewer line repair methods often use materials that aren’t of the highest quality. Trenchless sewer pipe repair uses materials that are meant to be durable and rust-resistant. This is an added bonus because they’re engineered using industry-leading technology.
