Generally speaking, all types of pipes are susceptible to breaking due to high pressure, whether it is inside (water) or outward (ground). But, one of the worst pipe malfunctions one can endure is the broken sewer pipe. Pipes that are cracked can be costly to fix and pose serious health risks. When a sewer line fails it is necessary to repair it as the first line of defense. We turn to the replacement of sewer lines when repair is not an option.

There is a way to fix sewer lines that have leaks or cracks in them and not replace the entire pipe. We provide a number of solutions for repair of sewer lines.

The traditional method: It involves digging into the area affected for pipe repair. Our fully-stocked service trucks house a number of pipe joints and fittings for rapid turnarounds. We are proud to offer high-quality products from top manufacturers like Victaulic.

Pipe Lining: Pipes with cracks or leaks that are structurally sound can be repaired using the pipe-lining (cured in place) method. A tube that is coated with epoxy resin is traced through your pipeline. The pipe is filled with air and the resin is left to harden and dry in the tube. It is the result that you get a brand new sewer line, also known as a "pipe within the pipe".

Pipe lining comes with many benefits, including better flow of water and less tree root damage. It's also long-lasting (built to last for over fifty years). Pipe lining is a trenchless method for repairing sewers. It means there's no digging required.

Repair and replacement solutions are based on the source and extent of damage. Repairs can be completed quickly if the sewer line can be accessed, or under a raised foundation. If there is a small crack or hole, our team can make partial repairs by cutting the damaged area and replacing it with a new PVC pipe.

When is sewer line replacement required? It is probable that the sewer line needs to be replaced if it gets often blocked, has roots damaged or is frozen. Broken pipes may require replacement in sections. After the line is replaced, our team will provide an estimate with an excavation that is safe and a finalization. Breaks in sewer pipes can result from the aging process, inadequate maintenance or tree roots frozen pipes, burst pipes or frozen pipes, as well as degrading.

If your line is mostly in good condition, sewer pipelining might be the best option for you. It is a trenchless non-dig solution that will repair the pipe without replacing it.

So if your sewer line is damaged, will you need sewer line repair? Or replacement? If cracks or small holes are present in the sewer line typically a repair is required. A sewer line replacement is a possibility in the case of more serious damage to pipes and pipe corrosion. With everything underground, how can our technicians tell if replacement is the most appropriate option? To determine if there's any damage to your pipes, and to determine the extent of it, we conduct a pipe leak test. If we discover an issue or leak, we can do trenchless repairs in some situations, but replacing it will need us to dig the sewer line. In any case it's not an issue that should be ignored.
