Pipe Lining: Pipes that are solid but suffer from cracks or leaks might benefit from sewer line repair with the pipe liner (cured-in-place) method. The pipe is traced with an epoxy resin tube. The pipe is filled with air and the resin left to dry and harden in the tube. The result is a totally new sewer line, a "pipe within the pipe"!

Pipe lining offers many advantages such as improved water flow and resistance to tree root damage. It is also long-lasting (built to last over 50 years). Pipe Lining is a trenchless method of repairing sewers. It means there is no digging needed.

The first step in any sewer line repair or replacement in West Reading, PA will be a professional sewer camera inspection. The goal is to view the cause of clogs and the condition of the line.

Hydro jetting is a great option for drains that remain intact with heavy scale buildup or root intrusion. By using high pressure streams of water, and specially designed jetting nozzles, we can dissolve years of accumulation and eliminate even tough roots.

If the line is damaged, jetting isn't the ideal choice. If small portions are missing, holes that are minor or cracks, pipelining can be an economical alternative. Pipelining is a method of repairing the line and creating the new, solid and indestructible pipe out of the damaged line.
