How is a sewer line replacement done at Mr. Rooter? Starting with a video camera inspection, our technicians can accurately determine the location and extent of damage. This assists in deciding whether a traditional dig or trenchless solution will be the perfect match for your home.
Traditional sewer line replacement vs. trenchless sewer line replacement.
- Traditional Excavation – This technique involves digging a trench to remove the old pipe and install a new one. It is best for badly damaged or collapsed pipes, but it may involve considerable landscaping restoration afterward.
- Trenchless Pipe Lining – Also referred to as cured-in-place pipe (CIPP), this method inserts a durable epoxy coating inside the existing pipe, forming a new, seam-free interior. It is best for pipes with little structural harm and lowers excavation.
- Pipe Bursting – In this process, contractors pull new piping through the damaged pipe as the old pipe breaks apart. It is an effective solution with minimal excavation.
Whatever method we use, our experienced team will ensure that your new sewer line is durable, efficient, and there to stay. We also follow local plumbing codes and regulations along with our Neighborly Done Right Promise®, and we can ensure you peace of mind with all our work.
