TRENCHLESS SEWER REPAIR
WHAT IS TRENCHLESS SEWER REPAIR?
Trenchless sewer repair is the process of replacing your broken sewer line without digging trenches on your property. It is typically performed by inserting a new inner pipe into the existing sewer without having to dig any kind of trench. There are many trenchless sewer repair methods, but it is important that the right one is used for your property and situation. This service is the best way to replace damaged sewer lines or pipes found within the ground of your property. It reduces costs significantly while preventing unsightly trenches from being dug. Trenchless sewer repair is an essential service our team is happy to provide clients in Houston because of its many benefits.
How Does Trenchless Sewer Repair Work?
The process will look different based on the type of trenchless sewer repair you need. There are three types of trenchless sewer repair methods: directional drilling, pipe bursting, and trenchless pipe lining. These methods are suitable for certain budgets and situations your sewer line may be experiencing. Here are each of the methods explained:
1. Directional Drilling: A new tunnel is dug a few feet underneath the existing sewer line. Directional drilling is typically performed when replacing the existing sewer line would be costly or time-consuming.
2. Pipe Bursting: The existing sewer line is broken apart and pushed outward using a bursting head, while a new sewer line is pulled into place directly behind it.
3. Trenchless Pipe Lining: A felt or fiberglass liner is soaked in an epoxy resin and threaded through the existing sewer line. Then the liner is inflated to the point it presses up against the original pipe. It takes approximately 24 hours to cure.

Trenchless sewer repair is an extremely beneficial plumbing service for you and your property. You can expect to reap all of the following benefits when our team performs one of the aforementioned methods on your sewer line:
