Cold winters used to cause quite a bit of trouble with water line and sewer line issues here in Wayne, PA. They still do, to a certain extent — winters here are never a cake walk — but recent advances in technology have made such situations a lot easier to manage. More specifically, trenchless technology makes emergency pipe repairs a whole lot easier, even when winter temperatures don’t accommodate.
The Problem
Main sewer lines and water lines tend to be buried beneath the ground in your yard, connecting your home plumbing to civic water lines and sewer lines. That can protect them from damage in many cases, but when leaks or clogs crop up, it becomes very difficult to reach the problem spot.
It used to require a staggering amount of effort to unearth the pipe, fix the problem and bury it again. Freezing temperatures make the problem even worse, since unearthing frozen ground is difficult in the extreme.
Trenchless Technology to the Rescue
In some ways, that hasn’t changed, and unless the issue is an emergency, you will probably be better off waiting until spring. Sometimes, however, an emergency does occur and you’ll need to address the issue immediately. The water line and sewer line are pivotal to a functioning plumbing system, and sometimes you need to overcome the frozen ground in order to deal with it.
Trenchless technology allows plumbers to do just that. We can check the issues using video camera technology, then address it with minimal digging and a lot less time involvement. Clear weather is usually beneficial, but that often becomes a question of days or even hours instead of months. With trenchless technology, we’ll ensure that your system gets the help it needs and that the problem remains a tough one rather than an overwhelming one.
