While everyone's drainage system and layout of the property differ, there are some basic universal issues that we take a look at that can cause these solutions:

• Pipe Relining. First, we clean the sewer pipe and then apply new liner. It takes up to a few hours to dry. The new lining acts as a protective shell to keep pipe cracks out.
• Burst Pipe Hydraulic Replacement. If the damage to your sewer pipe is extreme, we might be able to pull an entirely new sewer line through the existing one. This method makes use of hydraulics to further disintegrate the damaged pipe before being able to easily replace it with a new one.
• Preventive maintenance of pipes. Regular inspections of your drains and pipes can keep debris and buildup at bay and help you avoid any cracks, clogs or explosions.

The degree and nature of the issue will decide the alternatives for sewer line replacement or repair are the best. If the sewer line is beneath a foundation that is raised or accessible, repairs may be made with minimal disruption. If there's a small hole or crack the team at our disposal can create a partial replacement by cutting the damaged section and replacing it with new PVC pipe.

What are the conditions under which the sewer line is replaced? It is likely that the sewer line has to be replaced if it is blocked frequently or has damaged roots, or has frozen. For broken pipes the replacement of sections might not permanently solve the issues. Our team will provide an estimate that includes the safe excavation process and will complete work once the line has been replaced. Poor maintenance, age tree roots, frozen pipes, ruptured pipes, or even disintegration may result in the breaking of sewer pipes.

If your line is mostly in good condition, sewer pipelining might be right for you. It is a trenchless solution, with no digging that will repair the pipe without replacement.

If your sewer line has been damaged is it necessary to repair it? Or replacement? Repairs could be recommended in the event of small cracks or holes within the sewer line. If the pipe is corroding to a greater extent or more serious damage replacement of the sewer line may be required. But with all things underground, how do our techs tell which is required? To determine whether there is damage to your pipes and the extent of it, we use a pipe leak test. We can repair the leakage or damage in certain situations without digging up the sewer line. In any case it's not something that can be overlooked. Before things get out of hand, call Ocean City Drain & Sewer Services, and ask us to take a inspection of the sewer line.
