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.

Relining Sewer Lines Instead of Replacement

Comments Off on Relining Sewer Lines Instead of Replacement

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.
