Traditional Sewer Line Repair and Replacement (Before Trenchless Technology)

Did you know that as pipes age, they encounter cracks and blockages that cause them to break apart, or even rupture? Also, tree roots are notorious for invading or causing damage to your underground sewer lines and pipes. In the past, it was widely common for plumbers to dig up properties to access main sewer lines in an effort to repair and/or replace each section of the pipe that required attention. This job would take multiple technicians and many hours just to dig up the old pipe, manually replace/repair the broken line, and then rebury it. Not to mention, the havoc that process wreaked on lawns and gardens, costing homeowners and property managers extra hidden costs to restore.

The Power Of Trenchless Technology

Lucky for plumbers and clients alike, trenchless technology has eliminated the need for heavy equipment, extraneous labor, and digging. As a result, homeowners and property managers can enjoy lower costs and quicker turnaround when it comes to this major plumbing job.

Trenchless Sewer Repair & Replacement

Are you still wondering just how simple yet effective trenchless sewer repair and replacement can be? Our Gallegos Plumbing technicians have outlined our process just for you!

• As part of offering the best plumbing services in Ventura County, our plumbing professionals provide a thorough inspection of your main sewer lines along with a free quote–second opinions are also welcome.
• After our plumbing professionals inspect your pipes and find damaged, problem areas, they then determine where the base of sewer line ends. More often than not, the beginning of your private sewer lateral starts where the main drain exits your home or building and ends typically in the middle of the street where it connects to the citys sewer main. Keep in mind that the biggest hole a plumbing professional would excavate for trenchless sewer repair would measure up to 4’ x 4’.
• Then, your plumbing professional will need to break ground, which can occur in a few places such as: the middle of the road, the middle of the sidewalk, or the edge of the sidewalk and street.
• By accessing the damaged sewer lateral from the two excavated pits, our trenchless pipe repair professionals will then be able to pull one new continuous pipe through the path of the old pipe or insert the epoxy liner from the one direct entry point.
• In most cases, your plumbing technician will push a new plastic/epoxy line underground and have it hooked to the city’s main pipeline.
• Afterward, our plumbing technician and/or team will reconnect lines affected during the process, fill in the 2 holes, and restore your floor.
• Last but not least, our plumbing professionals will inspect the new line for quality assurance–because Gallegos Plumbing believes in a job done right the first time!

Sewer line repair and replacement is a plumbing service required when you encounter backed up sinks, overflowing appliances, or any other plumbing issues throughout your building or house. Traditionally, sewer line repair calls for replacing old pipes that have burst by digging them up from the ground. However, the newer technologies and techniques implemented by trenchless sewer line repair don’t require digging–saving your yards, gardens, and landscaping.

Pipe-pulling, or pipe-bursting, is a type of trenchless sewer line repair and replacement that entails lowering the new pipe into the ground and pulling it through the old pipe. The installation head is responsible for breaking up the old, damaged pipe while the new pipe is pulled through.

The most modern method of trenchless sewer repair and replacement is called pipe relining, or cured-in-place pipe (CIPP). This technique only requires a single access point in which a strong epoxy is inserted to line the walls of the old pipe. After 3 to 4 hours, the epoxy will dry, or cure, providing a brand new pipe that is the exact size as the previous, damaged line. A robot is then sent through the access point to inspect the new epoxy pipe to ensure its quality, which will last 50+ years with regular plumbing maintenance.

The Benefits Of Trenchless Sewer Repair and Sewer Line Replacement

Are you still wondering if trenchless sewer repair and replacement is right for your home or building? More often than not, it’s best to consult your local plumbing professionals to avoid incurring more costly structural damages to your basement and/or foundation via a burst pipe and subsequent flooding. For all of the remaining skeptics, here are some of the key benefits of opting for sewer repair and replacement that utilizes trenchless technology.

Productive & Efficient

Traditional pipe replacement requires manual digging that requires many more hours than the trenchless technique. Because trenchless sewer repair and replacement only require 2 access points or holes, this plumbing job takes up just a single afternoon rather than a matter of days. This also means that the inconveniences homes and buildings experience during sewer line work is short-lived–i.e. households don’t have to go without water, and families don’t need to relocate for an extended period of time.

Cost-Effective

Believe it or not, trenchless sewer repair and replacement are less expensive than manual pipe replacement because fewer structural modifications, such as digging or knocking down walls, is required. This also reduces clean-up costs for us and homeowners with lawns and landscaped yards. Also, with less manual labor involved, less plumbing professionals are needed to complete the job. With the latest tools and technology, trenchless sewer work only takes a few hours, which reduces your invoice overall.

Environmentally-Friendly & Sustainable

Unlike the traditional digging method, trenchless technology uses specialized equipment, robotics, and cameras that increase accuracy while minimizing ecological damage. Without the need for extensive digging, your property’s plant life remains intact, and the condition of your soil remains unaltered.
