Dig-Free Repairs: The Advantages of Trenchless Sewer Line Repair

by | Dec 21, 2023 | Sewer & Drain

From disruptive digging and landscape disturbance to extended timelines and costly services, traditional sewer line replacements can be a long, frustrating process. Fortunately, there’s a new solution to sewer repair: trenchless sewer line repair. This innovative approach offers a modern way to minimize traditional replacement challenges while providing efficient and cost-effective repairs.

Understanding Trenchless Sewer Line Replacement

Trenchless sewer line replacement represents a groundbreaking approach to fixing damaged sewer lines without extensive excavation. Unlike traditional methods that involve digging up yards and landscaping, trenchless techniques utilize advanced technology to repair or replace sewer lines with minimal disruption. This method involves strategies like pipe bursting and pipe lining that reduce the need for extensive digging.

When compared to traditional methods, trenchless sewer line replacement stands out for its ability to preserve landscapes, reduce project duration, and minimize overall costs.

Key Benefits of Trenchless Technology for Sewer Line Replacement

Take a look at some of the key advantages of switching to trenchless technology for your sewer line replacement. 

Minimal Landscape Disruption

Trenchless technology ensures minimal disturbance to yards and landscaping. Instead of extensive trenching, specialized equipment allows us to work with pinpoint accuracy, maintaining the aesthetic appeal of your property.

Time Efficiency

The reduced need for digging translates to faster completion times. With trenchless methods, you can significantly cut down the duration of the repair or replacement, allowing you to return to normalcy much sooner.

Cost-Effectiveness

While upfront costs might appear slightly higher, professional trenchless methods result in substantial long-term savings for the following reasons:

  • Reduced Labor and Restoration Costs: By minimizing labor requirements and restoration expenses, trenchless methods prove to be financially advantageous over time.
  • Less Disruption, Lower Overall Costs: The cost savings stemming from reduced labor and restoration efforts contribute significantly to the overall affordability of trenchless repairs.

On average, trenchless sewer line replacement can result in savings ranging from 30% to 50% when compared to traditional excavation methods.

Trenchless Sewer Line Replacement Process

Our trenchless replacement procedure involves a step-by-step approach that utilizes cutting-edge technology and expert techniques. From the initial assessment to the final inspection, we ensure a seamless process that prioritizes efficiency and quality. Here’s a quick rundown of our trenchless sewer line replacement process at Jolly.

Step 1: Initial Assessment and Inspection

Our trenchless sewer line replacement process begins with a thorough assessment of the damaged sewer line. We use advanced inspection tools such as high-definition cameras to pinpoint the exact location and extent of the damage. This step allows our experts to determine the most suitable trenchless method for repair or replacement.

Step 2: Preparation and Access Points

Once the assessment is complete, our team identifies the access points required for the trenchless procedure. Unlike traditional digging methods that necessitate extensive excavation, trenchless technology only requires minimal access points at the beginning and end of the affected pipe.

Step 3: Pipe Bursting or Pipe Lining

For severely damaged sewer lines, we employ the pipe bursting method, which involves attaching a new, high-density polyethylene pipe to a specialized bursting head. Then, we insert the head into the damaged pipe and pull through, fracturing the old pipe outward while simultaneously replacing it with the new, more durable pipes.

In cases where the existing pipe is structurally intact but has minor damage, we utilize pipe lining. This method involves inserting a flexible resin-coated liner into the damaged pipe. Once it’s in place, we inflate and cure the liner, creating a seamless and corrosion-resistant new lining within the existing pipe.

Step 4: Inspection and Quality Assurance

After the trenchless repair or replacement is completed, we conduct a final inspection using advanced camera technology. This final step ensures that the newly installed pipe or lining meets our stringent quality standards and complies with industry regulations.
