Trenchless Sewer Repair vs. Sewer Repair

At V-Max Plumbing, our Seal Beach plumbers regularly get asked if there is a minimally invasive solution available for sewer repair when hydro jetting is no longer an option. Thankfully, trenchless sewer repair is available and is known as one of the most effective ways to repair your sewer pipes without destructive digging.

You might be wondering what makes trenchless sewer repair so effective? In this article, we will take a closer look at trenchless sewer repair vs. sewer repair.

What Is Trenchless Sewer Repair?

When it comes to replacing or repairing damaged or worn sewage lines, trenchless sewer repair and replacement have become increasingly popular services. While trenchless repair may still require a little digging, the damage to your lawn and other areas of your property will be minimal compared to traditional sewer repair.

Since the need to dig extensive trenches is eliminated with trenchless sewer repair, the service tends to be less labor-intensive and can be handled more quickly. Even larger jobs, such as installing a brand new sewer line, should not take longer than a day or two.

You will typically see one of two different trenchless sewer repair methods, including trenchless pipe bursting and trenchless pipe lining.

Method 1: Trenchless Pipe Bursting

Trenchless pipe bursting is one of the most effective ways to install a new sewer line. In this process, your existing sewer line will be broken apart by a professional plumber using a tool explicitly designed for trenchless pipe bursting. Through this process, your old sewer line can be eliminated, allowing room for installing a new line.

In addition to being one of the most effective methods, trenchless pipe bursting is also known for being a more environmentally friendly alternative to sewer repair services. Since trenchless pipe bursting does not involve harmful chemicals, it is the greener repair option.

Method 2: Trenchless Pipe Lining

Another trenchless sewer repair method is known as trenchless pipe lining, used to repair damaged sewer lines. It’s important to note that this method can only be used if the existing sewer line is still intact.

After a thorough inspection of your sewer line, your plumbing professional will proceed with the trenchless pipe lining process if it is deemed intact. A flexible tube containing an epoxy resin is inserted into a hole in your sewer line during this process. The epoxy resin will fill the existing line through this process to protect it from potential damage in the future.
