One of the larger expenditures in home ownership is needing to replace your sewer pipes. Although sewer pipes can last for decades, eventually they can crack or become corroded from years of use. Replacing all your pipes can be costly; however, in some cases you may be able to forego the expensive replacement and have a relining service performed instead.
Sewer Pipe Relining
Sewer pipe relining is an affordable alternative to replacing entire sewer lines. This process uses a lining that is fed into one end of a sewer line and pushed through the sewer pipe. Usually using hot air, the lining is inflated to push it against the interior of the pipe. The liner adheres to the inside of the pipe, creating a seemless, new interior to the pipe.
For sewer pipes that are cracked or even have become offset at the joints, relining can create a new path for sewer waste. The benefits of relining go beyond just a monetary savings; the new lining is durable and resistant to cracking and tree root evasion. It is a reliable option for many homeowners who do not want to pay for complete sewer line replacement.
There are some circumstances where relining is not an option, usually when there is an issue with the grade or slant of the sewer lines. If you are considering having your sewer pipes replaced, talk to your local sewer service company about the possibility of pipe relining. It can offer a substantial savings while still giving your home viable sewer lines for the removal of waste from your home that can last for many years.
