What Is Trenchless Sewer Repair?

Trenchless sewer repair is one method of fixing or replacing sewer pipes that does not involve digging a trench or excavation. This type of sewer repair is generally more cost-effective, less disruptive, and subsequently much faster than other sewer repair methods. 

Different Methods Of Trenchless Sewer Repair 

Before getting started with any repair work on your sewer lines, it is essential to understand the different trenchless sewer repair methods. This is integral to help you pick the method that fits your property needs. So, let’s get started!

Pipe Bursting

Pipe bursting requires a new pipe that is attached to the head of the old line. In this method, the new pipe is pulled along the body of the sewer line, breaking it entirely as the new run of pipe stands in its position. This method of sewer repair does not require any considerable digging apart from two holes dug at the starting and end points of the old sewer line. 

Cured-in-Place Pipelining (CIPP)

With CIPP, plumbers insert a liner dipped in epoxy into the existing line. The liner is then expanded using an inflation tool so that once it dries up, it takes the shape of the pipe walls. This puts an end to cracks and other minor damages to the pipe without any digging. CIPP is the most economical method of trenchless sewer repair but cannot be used on pipes that have been repaired time and time again.

Slip Lining

As the name suggests, slip lining is repairs damaged pies by slipping a plastic liner into the existing pipes to fix leaks. As with pipe bursting, this method also requires digging at the two ends of the sewer line. However, it cannot be used on pipes repeatedly since it decreases their diameter, which could result in pipe stoppage or backflows. 

How To Pick The Best Trenchless Sewer Repair Method For Your Property

While every trenchless sewer repair method has its pros and cons, the best process to go ahead with for your property depends on your requirements. Your budget plays a vital role in the decision-making process. This is followed by the current condition of your pipes and the work they require.
