Replacing existing sewer lines can be a large project that can expensive and time consuming. To replace many sewer lines, they must be dug up and removed for new ones to be put in place. This is a labor intensive project that can take days; in the meantime, your home will be without plumbing, causing a major disruption in your family’s life. In addition, digging up the pipes can make a giant mess of your yard, ruining expensive landscaping. There may be another way to resolve your sewer line issues: pipe relining.
How Does Pipe Relining Work?
New technology has made it easier to repair many sewer pipe issues without the need for pipe removal. Pipe relining is used for pipes that have breaks or corrosion that are causing leaks or backups. Instead of digging up the old pipes, a small hole is dug near one end of the sewer pipe. Once the pipe is accessed, a liner can be fed into the pipe. The liner is filled with air to expend it to the size of the pipe. An adhesive, usually a type of resin, on the outside of the lining adheres it to the interior of the pipe, creating a new interior surface.
There are many benefits to using this method. Pipe relining does not require your pipes to be removed, saving time and money. This means less downtime and a quicker resolution to your plumbing issue. It also creates a seamless lining that helps fend off joint breaks caused by infiltration of tree roots.
If you have a sewer line problem, call your local sewer repair company that offer pipe relining. It could be a better solution for your sewer line issue.
