Now is the Time for Trenchless Sewer Repair

Few repair jobs are more arduous to homeowners than sewer repair. Or at least that’s the way it used to be. When a sewer line broke, it meant expensive and arduous excavation to reach it, and with the harsh winters in Havertown and Springfield, PA, you only had a small window of time to do it effectively. The good news is that trenchless sewer repair has made the process a lot easier and much less expensive. Sadly, technology has yet to fully catch up with frozen ground in the winter, so if you want to conduct a trenchless pipe replacement on your property, now is the perfect time to do it.  

How It Works

Traditional entrenched sewer repair was relatively straightforward: you dug up the damaged pipe, installed a new one in its place, and then buried it again. The process took many man hours and usually involved renting expensive construction equipment, as well as tearing up your yard and incurring considerable landscaping costs. Trenchless repair gets around all of that. The service technician digs two small holes on either side of the affected pipe, then runs a camera and light on a line to inspect the damage. A replacement pip can then be lowered through the holes and fitted into place remotely, sealed to the rest of the pipe and buried again.

The Benefits

Not only does trenchless sewer line repair take a lot less time – saving you money on personnel costs and eliminating the need for expensive construction equipment – but it leaves your home and yard largely intact. You don’t need to hire landscapers to replant vegetation and the operation can often be completed in one or two days.
