Looking for a Sewer Line Repair Service in Richmond, MI?

All kinds of pipes can be broken by extreme pressure. However, one of most severe pipe failures that one can endure is the broken sewer pipe. Cracked sewer pipes can be costly to fix and could pose serious health risks. When a sewer line fails repairs are the first option. We will consider the replacement of sewer lines when repair is not an alternative.

Common Causes of Sewer Line Damage

• Poor maintenance
• Ground freezes/thaws regularly on a routine
• Age-related wear and tear
• The backup comes from a city's sewer line
• Tree roots infiltrate sewer pipe joints and bores.
• Poor layout, design and/or installation of sewer pipes
• A buildup of debris, grease, hair, oil, sludge, toilet paper, other materials
• Earth movement such as earthquakes, nearby heavy construction, etc.

Signs of a broken sewer Pipe

• Your toilet makes noises that gurgle
• Recycle the water you use to flush your toilet.
• The sewage backup from your toilet and/or tub
• The bathtub is not draining properly or fails to drain
• You will notice greener grass around your sewage line
• Your yard is flooded with water
• Sewer odors in your yard, basement or in any other space

Sewer lines that have localized cracks or leaks can be repaired instead of undergoing a full pipe replacement. We have a variety of repair options for sewer lines.

The traditional method: It involves excavating the area to fix the pipe. For fast turnarounds our fully-stocked service vans can house a variety of pipe joints. We are proud to offer high-quality products from top producers like Victaulic.

Pipe lining: Pipes that are solid but suffer from cracks or leaks might require sewer line repairs by using the pipe liner (cured-in-place) method. A tube coated with epoxy resin is traced across your existing pipeline. After the tube has been inflated, the epoxy resin is dried and allowed to air dry. This results in a completely new sewer line--a "pipe inside the pipe"!

The benefits of pipe lining are more efficient water flow, better resistance to damage caused by tree roots as well as long-term reliability (built to last over fifty years). Additionally, because pipe lining is considered an in-line sewer repair it doesn't require extensive digging; this leaves your building or home free of unsightly excavations.

Repair and replacement solutions vary based on the root and extent of damage. Repairs can be completed quickly if the sewer line can be accessed or underneath a foundation that is raised. If there is a small crack or hole the team at our disposal can create partial repairs by cutting off the damaged portion and replacing it with new PVC pipe.

What are the scenarios in which the sewer line is replaced? It is probable that the sewer line will need be repaired if it is regularly blocked, has roots damaged or is frozen. If the pipes are damaged replacing sections may not be a permanent solution. When the line is replaced the team from our company will give an estimate, which includes safe excavation and finishing work. The possibility of sewer pipe ruptures occur due to the aging process, inadequate maintenance, tree roots, frozen or burst pipes, as well as disintegration.

If the line is largely in good condition, sewer pipelining might be right for you. It is a trenchless solution, with no digging which can repair the pipe without replacing it.

So if the sewer line in your home is damaged, do you need sewer line repair? Or replacement? If small cracks or holes are present within the sewer line usually a repair is what is warranted. A sewer line replacement is a possibility for more severe pipe damage and corrosion. How do we determine which one is necessary in the event that everything is underground? We perform a leak test to find out if you've got damages and what the location might be. If we determine there is a leak or damage it is possible to do trenchless repairs in some cases, but replacements do require us to dig the sewer line up. Sewer line damage should not be overlooked. Call Richmond Drain & Sewer Services to have your sewer line examined.
