40+ Year Old Home? May be Time to For a Trenchless Sewer Line Replacement

When you are buying a home, it is a good idea to have your sewer line inspected, particularly in homes that are 40 years old or older.

What is Trenchless Sewer Replacement?

Trenchless sewer line replacement allows one hole to be dug where the problem area starts and another hole to be dug where the problem area ends. In one method of pipe repair called sewer pipe bursting, a burst can be done at the ending point. This consists of using a bursting head which breaks open the pipe and allows the machinery to pull another pipe right behind and put it in place. Another method of sewer line replacement is called sewer line relining. This method involves blowing a new liner into the space of the old sewer pipe. The liner is soaked in a resin that will later harden. A special bladder inflates the liner and it follows the exact contours of the old pipe and hardens in place. Either process can be done by the trenchless method of repair. No additional digging is needed. No lawns, sidewalks, or parking lots are torn up and destroyed.

Benefits of Trenchless Sewer Replacement

The following are several benefits of having a trenchless sewer line replacement:

• It takes less than half the time to replace new sewer lines with the trenchless method.
• Landscaping is not harmed or permanently destroyed.
• No backhoe or other heavy equipment is required.
• Repairs are generally more cost effective.

Many homeowners report that their biggest fear is needing to make expensive sewer line repairs. Avoid the possibility of opening yourself up for a large, expensive problem before it occurs.
