How to Know if Your Business Needs Trenchless Sewer Repair

A massive blockage and plumbing catastrophe is an obvious sign that you could have an issue with your sewer line, but issues resulting from cracked, corroded, or otherwise problematic drains could present with much subtler signs.
If those blockages aren’t cleared, they will accumulate and rot, emitting unpleasant smells.
Wet patches are caused by blockages and improper drainage, with the water eventually escaping and flooding your lawn.
Too many obstructions can stem the flow—it’s time for a good clear-out!

How Trenchless Technology Works

Trenchless sewer repair technology is a non-invasive procedure that doesn’t require any digging and won’t disrupt your business or damage your property.

Developed half a century ago, this method has advanced significantly in the last couple of decades and is a very safe, fast, and effective way to repair sewer lines. Some of the trenchless repair methods that we employ at Mr. Rooter Plumbing® include:

Pipe Bursting: A replacement pipe is forced through the old pipe. The existing pipe is broken up so that the new one can take its place.
Cured-in-Place Pipe (CIPP) Lining: In essence, CIPP works by inserting a new pipe into the old one. A lining that has been impregnated with epoxy is inserted into the pipe, inflated, and then left to harden. It is a durable solution that should last for over 50 years.

Not sure which service is best for your needs? That’s our job! Our technicians will conduct an analysis to check the state of your pipes, diagnose the issue, and recommend the best option.

Why You Should Choose Trenchless Sewer Repairs

There is no extensive digging with trenchless sewer line repair, so you won’t face major business disruptions, and you definitely won’t be left to cover hefty labor costs or deal with the messy aftermath.

As well as being cost-effective, simple, and hassle-free, it’s also a durable solution. As noted above, for example, a CIPP lining can last for over 50 years.

In the long term, it’s a much cheaper option, and it comes with minimal interruptions to your business operations.
