Generally speaking, all types of pipes are vulnerable to breaking due to high pressure, regardless of whether they are the inner (water) or outer (ground). A damaged sewer pipe is the most serious kind of pipe problem. Cracked sewer pipes are not just costly to fix, but can also pose serious health hazards. Repair is the first line defense in the event that a sewer line breaks down. When repair is not an option we can turn to sewer line replacement.

There is a way to repair sewer lines that have leaks or breakages, rather than replacing the entire pipe. Here are a couple sewer line repair options we can offer.

Traditional method: This involves digging into the area affected to begin pipe repair. Our fully-stocked service trucks house several pipe fittings and pipe joints to ensure fast turnarounds. We are proud to offer quality products from leading manufacturers such as Victaulic.

Pipe Lining: Pipes with cracks or leaks, but with structural integrity may be restored using the pipe-lining (cured in place) method. A tube coated with epoxy resin is traced along your existing pipeline. Once the tube has been inflated, the epoxy is dried, and then allowed to dry. The result is a new sewer line, also known as a "pipe inside the pipe".

Benefits of pipelining include improved water flow, greater resistance to damage caused by tree roots as well as long-term reliability (built to last over fifty years). Plus, since pipe lining is thought of as an untidy sewer repair technique and doesn't require massive digging, which leaves your home or building free of ugly excavations.

Most likely, you've encountered an obstruction in your sewer. A sewer can stop flowing for many reasons, including impacted soil and freezing ground. In addition, the accumulation of grease, paper, and other wastes that are foreign to the system can prevent proper flow in the pipe. Another cause of concern is root infiltration, where roots from a nearby tree or tree reach the sewer line from a joint and expand to fill the pipe with a hair-like root mass. These blockages, if not addressed immediately, could result in the pipeline bursting, breaking, or collapsing. This could require repair or replacement of the sewer line.
