Defining Sewer Lining and How it Works

By WebDrafter.com, Inc. w/ permission
What is sewer lining? Essentially, sewer lining allows for your pipes to be fixed with a very small amount of digging required. At Gene’s Water & Sewer, we know everything there is to know about sewer lining. Bloomington area homes have been entrusting us with all of their sewer needs for decades. That’s why we’ve put together a brief outline about sewer lining and trenchless sewer repairs. And, if you have any additional questions about it, do not hesitate to give us a call!

But how does sewer lining work? Sewer lining offers a more efficient, cost effective means to repair damaged pipes underground. It is a less pricey option in the long run as it eliminates the annoyance of having your yard or driveway completely dug up. The resin based sewer liners are “pull in place,” and make a one continuous pipe inside the existing sewer pipe. Cured In Place Pipe (CIPP) or epoxy lining provides the same strength as a new pipe but without the hassle. The first step is we insert a camera into the broken pipe to take a look at the situation. We eye up the problem to make sure there are not more problems down the line. We will then make sure the pipe is cleaned using high pressure water and some other tools. Things like roots, mud and other debris are cleared out of the pipe before we put the new sewer liner in.

Going the trenchless or semi-trenchless route for your sewer lining implementation can even offer a better flow of waste from your home to the sewer system.  The cracks, fractures and bursts that create the need to have a new pipe drawn in to replace the old will become a thing of the past with trenchless sewer liner repair. We put together the resin needed for the inside of the sewer lining. With resin poured into the liner, we make sure this is evenly distributed throughout the liner. 

Did you know that trenchless sewer replacement is much cleaner than other options available? Sewer lining saves you the trouble of having your yard and landscaping uprooted. It also eliminates the need to dig up those nasty sewer lines. So there is no need to worry about hiring yet another company to come to your home to replant your landscaping or to fix anything.

Trenchless sewer replacement is the fastest option among sewer lining repair options. With the “no dig” technology, these repairs can usually be done in less than one day, which means minimal disruption for you and your family. We are proud of the work we provide and our ability to meet or exceed our customers’ expectations.

Give us a call and we can discuss if trenchless repairs and sewer lining will work for your home. Interested in learning more about sewer lining in Bloomington or the surrounding areas? Call Gene’s Water & Sewer at 612-781-3737 or you can contact us for a Free Estimate.

It might be hard to believe, but winter is right around the corner and with it comes a variety of concerns such as pipes freezing and then bursting. We specialize in helping with sewer lining in Minneapolis MN and the surrounding areas, but we thought we would take the time to discuss how to prevent frozen pipes.

Drain the hose in your garden or shed and then make sure the interior shut off valve is fully closed. Pipes that run along exterior walls are especially at risk of freezing. Get a professional insulation company to assess your home’s insulation and get more added if it’s necessary. Flush your home’s hot water tank to help remove sediment. That helps the tank work more efficiently. It will have to work harder in the winter than in the summer simply because the water flowing into it is colder, so it takes more effort on th
