Read on to learn more about trenchless pipe repair and why Jay’s Heating, Air, & Plumbing is the go-to choice in Mount Airy.
What is Trenchless Sewer Repair?
Trenchless pipe repair is a minimally invasive sewer repair method. Traditional techniques involve digging trenches to access the pipelines and make repairs. This can take a week or longer and cause significant damage to the surrounding landscape. However, with non-invasive sewer repair, technicians evaluate the damage by sending a camera into the pipes and then use one of the following methods to make the repairs.
Pipe bursting
Pipe bursting is a non-destructive method of sewer pipe replacement. Technicians dig two small holes at both ends of the pipeline and send a bursting head into the old pipe. The bursting head has a new, high-density polyethylene pipe attached, so when it breaks the pipe, a new pipe falls into place.
Pipe lining
Pipe lining repairs the damaged sewer line without excavation. Technicians inflate an epoxy-coated sleeve or liner into the old pipe. An injection of hot steam cures the epoxy within 12 to 24 hours and seals the walls of the old pipe, forming a new lining. Technicians then remove the pass liner through the small hole dug at the pipe’s access point.
What is Trenchless Sewer Repair?
Trenchless sewer repair technology involves repairing or replacing a sewer line without having to do major excavation. This process allows us to repair the line without needing to dig around your yard or home. This means you won’t have to worry about paying extra to repair any damage left behind when the repair is complete since absolutely no digging is required. You’ll get the repairs you need with minimal disruption while you save money and get a durable sewer line repair that lasts.
Methods we use
Jay’s uses three different methods to perform trenchless sewer repair:
Epoxy coating: This method involves using a flexible liner saturated with a special epoxy resin. The liner is threaded through the existing pipe, then a bladder is inflated which presses the liner against the pipe walls. Once the epoxy cures, the bladder is deflated and removed, leaving a hardened, permanent section of pipe behind. inspection beforehand and provide an up-front quote to keep you informed throughout the process.
Pipe lining (CIPP): Cured-in-Place-Pipe (CIPP) pipe lining services fixes broken or damaged sewer pipes by inserting a flexible liner into the existing pipe. Roots and debris are removed from the pipe, then a liner is inserted through a hole. Once the liner is inside the pipe, it’s expanded to fit snugly against the pipe walls. It’s exposed to heat to harden it, creating a new, permanent section of pipe.
Pipe bursting: Sewer pipe bursting repair involves using a high-resolution camera to find the location and depth of the problematic sewer line. Two small entry and exit points are dug, and a new sewer pipe is mechanically pulled through the old pipe. Essentially, this process bursts the old pipe while installing the new one at the same time.
