Sewer line repair traditionally involves digging lengthy trenches and disrupting landscaping and hardscaping efforts, resulting in longer repairs and additional costs. Trenchless sewer line repair is the popular alternative most commonly used to repair sewer lining and burst pipes. Available since the 1990s, this service is a specialty of Amador Plumbing in Sutter Creek, CA. Here, the licensed plumbers explain what happens during trenchless sewer line repair as well as its many benefits.

What Does Trenchless Sewer Line Repair Involve?

The Process

Trenchless sewer line repair typically requires digging one access hole and placing a pipe liner, or a flexible resin-coated tube, within an existing pipe. The tube is either blown or pulled into the damaged pipe before your licensed plumbers inflate it. Once the resin cures, the result is a durable, seamless pipe impervious to corrosion. While the replacement pipe reduces the diameter by about one-quarter inch, you will not experience any issues flushing household waste.

If your sewer line is beyond this type of repair because of structural integrity damage, such as a partial or full collapse, the licensed plumbers from Sutter Creek recommend pipe bursting services. This is another type of trenchless sewer line repair requiring the plumbers to dig two access holes on each end of the affected pipe. The plumbers drag the new pipe through the current line. It fractures and moves the existing pipe to create space for its replacement, which is also seamless and resistant to corrosion.

The Benefits

These seamless pipes last for decades and take little time to install—usually less than one day. There is no need to dig up half of your yard or replace landscaping and hardscaping features such as shrubs, trees, retaining walls, walkways, and driveways. While this method can cost more than traditional sewer line repair depending on the severity of the damage, you’ll still save money overall because you do not have to pay for a new driveway or other issues related to excavation.

Trenchless sewer line repair solves a variety of problems, including pipes damaged by freezing, thawing, and settling soil, as well as those clogged by household debris and tree roots. It also fixes problems from improperly installed sewer lines.
