Trenchless sewer replacement, please explain what it is?
Well, trenchless sewer line replacement is is accepted by most local cities. The old way of replacing a sewer drain is to dig up the pipe, by hand or with a machine, and replace it with a new one. This way is very labor intensive old way and can be very costly when a line is in a difficult position, such as under a house, a road or under concrete.
The trenchless sewer line replacement technology saves time and money and is particularly efficient when the sewer drain is lets say under a big tree.
So how exactly does sewer trenchless sewer replacement work?
Using this new sewer line replacement method we dig a hole at the house where the cast iron pipe goes under the house and we then excavate a hole at the end of the pipe at the street. We expose the sewer pipe in each excavation and cut out small sections of pipe. Next, we feed a large strong 3/4 inch steel cable between the two excavations. connected to this cable is a large heavy metal cone shaped head that breaks the old pipe in place to exactly the size of the new trenchless drain pipe. The new sewer pipe is actually a black plastic pipe about 5 or 7 inches in diameter. This sewer pipe is joined together by melting the ends of the pipe and joining them to create one continuous length of sewer pipe without any joints, eliminating leaks and tree roots form entering the pipe.
As we pull the cable through the sewer pipe with up to 3 tons of pressure, the splitting head bursts the old sewer pipe and pushes it out of the way making room for the new sewer pipe.
The actual replacement of the sewer pipe usually only takes only two or three hours and the work can be done within one day. There is no problem pulling through slabs of concrete or even buildings. This trenchless sewer line replacement technology works well and because the new sewer pipe has no joints, is flexible so it will never crack or break and no roots can get into it.
The new sewer pipe also called HDPE pipe is very smooth internally so the drain pipe is very efficient for water, debris and toilet solids to flow freely.
