While any plumbing issue can be a major headache, problems with your sewer are doubly so. They involve nasty wastewater, bacteria, and odors; no homeowner wants to deal with that. Leave it to our San Francisco sewer line repair team; we can handle your issues quickly and efficiently. When it comes to sewer line repair, San Francisco plumbers start with an inspection of your plumbing system. We use the latest technology, such as video camera inspections, to discover the root cause of your sewer issue. A camera attached to a fiber optic cable is inserted inside your sewer line so that we can, in real time, assess the condition of your sewer line and the extent of the damage. Whether you're dealing with tree root intrusion or corrosion in your pipes, we can uncover the problem without tearing the place up. Our sewer line experts then tailor our services to meet your specific needs.
With our sewer line repair, San Francisco homeowners can enjoy peace of mind knowing our team employs the latest trenchless repair technology to complete their repairs. We only use high-quality materials when we perform your repairs, so you won't have to call us back in a week to do it all again. Whatever your sewer repair needs may be, we can provide a cost-effective solution to ensure your system is running smoothly and efficiently without digging a trench or causing damage to your property.
Trenchless sewer line repair technology ensures no need to “dig up” anything. You don't have to destroy yards or the ground. Instead, you can have an entirely new system working and not have to worry about any more repairs - a great option if your sewage pipelines are very old.
So, how does it work? Here is what happens in trenchless technology and how it is different from the conventional methods used. It exists in a few different methods, and they allow for repairs without extensive excavation. Some of the methods we use for San Francisco sewer line repair include:
- Pipe Bursting: Unlike traditional excavation, only two holes are dug. One at either end of the damaged line. Then, a bursting head is pushed through the old sewer line, and a new pipe follows. When the bursting head bursts the old pipe, a new sewer line is slid into place in one fluid motion. This is a method of sewer repair that San Francisco plumbers opt for when the repairs are more significant and cannot be remedied with a simple patch job.
- Pipe Lining: For pipe lining, a flexible resin pipe is slid inside the damaged pipe. It is then inflated and allowed to harden, creating a new pipe in its place. This is a quick and efficient solution for property owners and is much more cost-effective than a traditional excavation job.
- Excavation: Normally, trenches have to be dug at places that require repair. The experts use a trench across the damaged portion of the pipe to open and refill the work area and check for any other problems. Since this can be quite an extensive affair, it can significantly increase the costs. Our San Francisco sewer repair team only uses this method for extensive repairs.
