It is possible to fix sewer lines that leak or cracks in them instead of replacing the entire pipe. We have a variety of solutions for repair of sewer lines.
The traditional method: The process involves digging up the area to repair the pipe. Our fully-stocked service trucks contain many pipe joints and fittings for rapid turnarounds. We are proud of carrying high-quality products from top manufacturers such as Victaulic.
Pipe Lining: Pipes that are still structurally sound but suffering from leaks or cracks may benefit from sewer line repair by using the pipe lining (cured-in-place) method. The pipe is traced with an epoxy resin tube. After the tube is filled with epoxy resin, it is dried and left to set. The result is a totally new sewer line--a "pipe inside pipe"!
Pipe lining comes with many benefits such as improved flow of water and less the damage caused by tree roots. It's also long-lasting (built to last for over fifty years). Furthermore, since pipe lining is considered a trenchless sewer repair method, there's no need for large excavations, leaving your home or building free of unsightly digging.
