Trenchless sewer replacement, an explanation?
Well, trenchless sewer line replacement is here to stay. The old traditional way of replacing a sewer line is to dig up the pipe, by hand or with a machine, and install in a new one. This way is very labor intensive old method 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 replacement technology saves money and time and is particularly efficient when the sewer line is under a new driveway.
So how exactly does trenchless sewer replacement work?
Using this new sewer pipe replacement method we excavate a hole at the house where the cast iron pipe begins and we then dig a hole at the end near the curb at the street. We expose the sewer drain pipe in each hole and cut out small sections of pipe. Next, we feed a large strong steel cable between the two holes. Attached to this cable is a metal cone shaped head that breaks the old pipe in place to exactly the size of the new trenchless sewer pipe. The new sewer drain pipe is actually a black plastic pipe usually up to 7 inches in diameter. This sewer drain pipe is connected together by melting the ends of the pipe and joining them to create one continuous length of sewer drain pipe without any joints, eliminating leaks.
As we pull the cable through the sewer drain pipe with up to 3 tons of pressure, the splitting head bursts the old sewer drain pipe and pushes it out of the way making room for the new sewer drain pipe.
The actual replacement of the sewer drain pipe usually only takes a few hours and the work can be done in one day. There is no problem pulling through slabs of concrete or even residential and commercial buildings. This trenchless sewer replacement technology works well and because the new sewer drain pipe has no joints, is flexible so it will never crack or break and no roots can get into it.
The new sewer drain pipe also called HDPE pipe is very smooth internally so the sewer drain is very efficient for water, debris and toilet solids to flow freely.
