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.
Our Trenchless Sewer Repair Services
The skilled technicians at Jay’s can repair your sewer lines within three days using our non-invasive repair methods. We’ll arrive at your home with fully stocked trucks and advanced tools to view the damage without ripping up your yard. Our expert plumbers determine the best repair method for your pipes by inserting a small camera into the line to reveal the issue.
We often use one of three methods to repair your system:
- Cured-in-place: An epoxy resin liner is inserted into the pipe through an access point and cured with hot steam, repairing your pipeline within 24 hours.
- Pull-in-place: A preformed liner is inserted into the pipe through one access point and pulled from the other. Hot steam attaches this liner to the pipe walls within 20 minutes.
- Slip-lining: A smaller pipe is inserted into the larger, broken pipe through two access points. Grout is used to fill the gap between the two points.
The repair time and method depend on the location and type of damage. We’ll perform a thorough inspection beforehand and provide an up-front quote to keep you informed throughout the process.
