When a sewer line or pipe is cracked or begins to corrode, the first thing that comes to mind is needing to replace the pipes. For many homeowners, this can be a larger expense than they are able to fit into their budget. However, in many cases older sewer lines can be relined, repairing the issue while extending the life of the pipes. Relining can save money and be a viable solution for sewer line problems.
Relining for Sewer Pipes
Old sewer lines that were cracked or broken in the past often had to be dug up and replaced with new pipes. New technology offers different solutions that are faster and usually less expensive than this old method of sewer line replacement. One option is not to replace the pipe at all and instead reline the pipes. This method can be done without digging up the pipes, saving both time and money.
Relining uses a synthetic lining that is inserted into one end of a broken or corroded sewer line. The tube is inflated with hot air to press the lining against the inside of the piping. The lining is attached with a resin that adheres to the interior of the pipe. This creates a seamless lining that covers any cracks or breaks in the pipe, extending the life of the sewer line.
Pipe relining is a great option for repairing many sewer line problems quickly and affordably. Since there are no seams, lining is excellent to protecting pipes from root invasion which is common in traditional sewer pipes. To learn more about sewer pipe relining and whether it is an option for your old sewer pipes, contact your local sewer service company that offers pipe relining.
