How Are Trenchless Sewer Repairs Done?
When you think of sewer repair, you might have images of dug up yards and flower beds, you may possibly imagine the street torn up, and generally a long, messy process. Trenchless sewer repair is about 15 years old and involves none or very little of these problems. The process of trenchless sewer repair begins with viewing your pipes with a camera, determining the most shallow access point (either the basement or a pipe right outside your home) and then hydro jetting that pipe. After the hydro jetting, any extra debris is removed with a mechanical snake or auger.
Finally, a new pipe lining is inserted to the damaged areas and left to cure. After this new lining is cured, it is examined by the camera and services can be turned back on.

Benefits of Trenchless Sewer Lining
Obviously a huge benefit of trenchless sewer lining is the fact that it doesn’t tear up your yard, the street, or your gorgeous flowers. However, there are a few other perks you should be aware of. Trenchless repairs can be made in a very short amount of time. Larger jobs might take a few days, but for the most part everything can be done in a single day’s work. Because this method takes less time to complete, it means that you’ll spend less on labor for the same basic services. Finally, the technology used in trenchless sewer repair is very high quality which means less likelihood of future repairs and it provides high-functioning pipes by increasing flow capacity.

Trenchless Sewer Line Installation: Is It Right for You?
There are many benefits to using trenchless sewer line installations, but is it the right solution for your property? It can depend on many factors, including your terrain, location, and local statutes. The best way to determine if you can take advantage of these non-invasive processes is to schedule a consultation with one of our experts at Towers Plumbing in Salt Lake City.
Our technicians will inspect your property and your line and determine first, if your line needs to be replaced or if it can be repaired. Next, they will evaluate if you can use the trenchless method, and explain the process to you. Our professionals will also give you an estimate for the work performed, estimated time of completion, project costs, any permits needed, and other issues we want to discuss with you before scheduling the project.
Trenchless Sewer Line Replacement: How To Prepare
When you schedule sewer line replacement services, you might have questions about how to prepare for the crew’s arrival and the work. Some tips you can follow include:
- Plan ahead and consider making arrangements to stay with a friend or relative. During the work, you will not have access to your water and sewer lines.
- Make sure the team can access your line. If you have any lawn ornaments, furniture, or other items around your yard that can prevent professionals from accessing the line, make sure to remove them ahead of time.
- Have other plumbing issues repaired before the trenchless sewer line replacement work begins.
Pipe Lining Services
Pipe lining typically is used to replace clay, cast iron, concrete, plastic, and PVC pipes. When you schedule services with a professional you can expect the experts to:
- Perform a sewer video inspection: A technician will feed a camera through your line to look for damage to the pipes and any other issues in your line.
- Clean pipes: They may clean your existing pipes to remove obstructions or debris.
- Measure pipes: They will measure your current pipes to check the diameter.
- Create replacement pipe: The new pipe tubing is usually made of fiberglass, polyester, or other similar materials.
- Apply epoxy-resin coating: The epoxy-resin coating will be applied to the outside of the tubing, letting it attach to the walls of the existing pipes.
- Insert new tubing: The new tubing will be slid through the walls of the piping system until it’s in the right place.
- Create a new seal: Next, the curing is performed, all moisture is removed, and the pipes can solidify.
- New pipes are used: Finally, the new pipes are used in the sewer line, and the project is complete. Our experts will test the flow to ensure the line works correctly and there are no leaks.
