Maybe your drains began backing up in your home or you found a smelly, wet spot on your lawn – whatever the first signs, you now know you have a broken sewer pipe. It must be fixed but having your yard destroyed to dig up the pipe will ruin your expensive landscaping. There is another option that may save your landscaping and cost you less money for the repair – pipe relining.
Pipe relining is an economical solution to a broken pipe and often can be completed in just a few hours. It also has the added benefit of not needing to dig a trench to remove the old pipe, leaving your landscaping unscathed from the process. While not all sewer line breaks can be repaired with pipe relining, many can and offer a viable option for many homeowners.
Pipe relining is completed by inserting a balloon-like lining into the broken pipe at one end. It usually only requires a small hole to be dug to access the pipe end. Then the lining is expanded with hot air to adhere the resin coating to the inside of the pipe. Once the lining sets, the inside of the broken pipe now has a seamless interior that will last for many years and is even resistant to tree roots and corrosion.
If you find yourself with a broken sewer pipe, talk to your local sewer service company about repairing your pipe using pipe relining. It can also be used to reinforce all your old sewer pipes instead of replacement. It is usually much less expensive than intrusive pipe replacement and will leave your beautiful lawn intact.
