The Horrors of Broken Sewer Pipes & Water Lines

By WebDrafter.com, Inc. w/ permission
You notice it first when water or sludge ponds begin to form. Maybe you become aware of it in your home when water pressure is at a premium. You begin to shudder, wondering from where this nightmare could be emanating. Your mind wanders, and you think to yourself, “What could be causing this?” Then you realize it’s the result of a broken sewer pipe or water line.

However, the nightmare can end for you. All it takes a phone call to Gene’s Water & Sewer.

Our Minneapolis-based company specializes in repairing and installing new water lines and sewer pipes. Have fears your front lawn will be torn up in order to make the necessary repairs or installations? Fear not, for many jobs don’t require trenching to be done.

Trenchless Sewer & Water Line Repairs
The word “trenchless” means exactly what it sounds like. We won’t have to dig a trench in your yard in order to fix the problems plaguing your water and sewer systems. Instead, for sewer pipes, we’ll dig one to two small holes, and place a new pipe where the old one was. The pipe will be one piece, meaning no joints and no infiltration or exfiltration of your new pipe.

For water lines, we’ll use a pneumatic tool to pull into place the pipe. This will minimize the amount of digging we need to do, and saving you from spending more on labor and restoration costs. Also, you won’t experience as much disruption with your service as you would with a traditional trench job.

Most of these jobs can be done in a day’s time. We also provide repair and traditional trench services for projects that can’t be solved by trenchless work.


End the nightmare now. Call us at 612-781-3737 or Request a Free Estimate.
