If your sewer is in need of repair, you already have enough on your plate without worrying about cleaning up a huge mess after the pipes have been dug up and fixed. Whether the sewer pipes are under a patio, your garden or even just your lawn, replacing everything once it’s been dug up can just add to the hassle created by the sewer problem in the first place. Luckily, that’s why we offer trenchless sewer repair in the Twin Cities area!

What is trenchless sewer repair?

An alternative method to more traditional forms of sewer repair, trenchless sewer repair is an option that avoids large clean-up efforts after digging up the sewer pipes. This method of sewer repair allows plumbers and piping companies to repair or even replace sewer lines without tearing up your home or yard. It is a cost-effective, timesaving, non-invasive and long-lasting choice for sewer repairs.

The pipe lining method that we use allows us to repair sewer pipes easily without the hassle or mess of digging them up. Typically, there are only one or two access points dug with one often not even being on your property. This removes the need for an entire trench and leaves you with new, repaired sewer pipes with minimal clean up.

How does trenchless sewer repair work?

Pipe lining, the method of trenchless sewer repair we utilize, works by installing a resin-saturated liner into the existing sewer pipe. This new lining repairs any leaks while also adding structural stability to the old pipes. For this type of trenchless sewer repair, there is often only one access hole dug to insert the pipe liner.

Once the hole is dug, the pipe liner can be inserted into the sewer pipe where it is either inflated or expanded. Once it has expanded, heat is applied to solidify and cure the new lining. This effectively adds a new pipe into the old one through one small hole!

What do you need to know before using trenchless sewer repair?

Before using trenchless sewer repair, it is important to know that it is not always an option or standalone job. It is best to consult with a professional about what service is best for your sewer pipe to ensure that the repairs last as long as possible.
