Benefits of Trenchless Sewer Repair
One of the most objectionable form of sewer repair Oakland residents and business owners want to avoid if possible is one that involves digging up the property. Traditionally, when a sewer line breaks the repair company usually digs up the earth around the pipe which is unsightly, smelly, and messy. However, the plumbers Oakland CA home and business owners trust now use a trenchless repair system that avoids many of the issues associated with fixing a sewer line.
What is Trenchless Sewer Repair?
Instead of digging up the area around the sewer line, trenchless repair inserts a liner into the pipe itself. The existing pipe is thoroughly cleaned from within and a flexible tube is then inserted into the existing line. Once in position, the liner is inflated until it fills the pipe and then hardens so that it acts as a new pipe.
Once the resin hardens and dries, it can be used to remove the waste from your home, office, or facility. A single hole is dug to provide access to the pipe so the flexible tube can be inserted, but there are no trenches.
Benefits
The advantages are considerable starting with the fact that no trenches are dug into your property. There is a single access hole, but that is quickly filled after the work has been completed. There are other benefits to using this form of repair as well.
Lower Cost: With traditional sewer repair, it means digging up the property and often part of the street, driveway, or parking lot which means diverting traffic and paying for repairing city-owned property as well. This means costs that can reach into the tens of thousands of dollars depending on the extent of the repair. Trenchless sewer repair avoids any damage and diversion of traffic which saves you money.
Long Lasting: The flexible tube that is used will last a long time in the sewer line. The resin is corrosive-proof, so it will not be damaged like standard metal pipes. While not impervious, the tube itself is highly durable and resistant to pressure for long-lasting results.
No Mess: Apart from one access hole that is filled after the job has been completed, you might never know that sewer line repair had taken place. The property is protected and no foul odors permeate the air during the process.
Trenchless sewer repair does not work for all sewer line compromises. If the pipe itself is so corroded or damaged that it is not possible to place a new liner inside, then the entire pipe will have to be replaced which means that your property will need to be dug up. However, such extensive damage is rare and in most cases trenchless sewer repair can be performed.
