Sewer Line Repair

Common Causes of Sewer Line Damage

1. Pipe Corrosion and Deterioration
   Older pipes, particularly metal ones, can corrode, weaken, or collapse over time.
2. Cracks and Fractures
   Ground settling, tree roots, or heavy loads above the sewer line can cause cracks or fractures, leading to leaks and blockages.
3. Blockages and Backups
   Accumulated grease, debris, or foreign objects can cause clogs, increasing pressure on pipes and resulting in cracks or bursts.
4. Root Intrusion
   Tree roots can penetrate sewer pipes through joints or small cracks, causing severe blockages and structural damage.

Repair Techniques

‍

1. Trenchless Technology
   
   • Pipe Lining (CIPP – Cured-In-Place Pipe): A flexible liner coated with resin is inserted into the existing pipe and cured, forming a new pipe within the old one.
   • Pipe Bursting: The damaged pipe is fractured while simultaneously pulling a new pipe into place, restoring full functionality without major excavation.
   • Benefits: Minimal digging, reduced disruption, and faster project completion.
2. Traditional Excavation Repair
   • For severely damaged pipes or complex repairs, excavation may be required.
   • Damaged sections are removed and replaced with new, durable pipe materials.
3. Inspection and Testing
   
   • Cameras or video inspections verify the extent of damage before repair.
   • Post-repair testing ensures leaks are resolved, and proper flow is restored.
