Nowadays, there’s a better alternative to traditional excavation when repairing sewer lines known as trenchless pipe repair. It’s a ‘no-dig’ approach that restores and extends the lifespan of your pipes. But how does it work, and how effective is it in addressing sewer issues? Sewer Solutions NW shares a quick overview below.

Trenchless Pipe Lining Process

Trenchless pipe lining in Bellevue, WA begins with a video camera inspection from a single access point, like a drain cleanout, to determine the problems in your sewer lines. Then, our technician will remove debris, tree roots, and other obstructions that might disrupt the pipe lining process.

Once done, we will insert a flexible, epoxy resin-soaked liner that inflates and hardens in your existing pipes to fix existing flaws. It restores your system in near-new condition, which can last for up to 50 years. All this happens without digging up yards or driveways and can typically be completed in a day.

What Issues Does Trenchless Pipe Lining Fix?

Because trenchless pipe replacement and repair covers every part of the existing pipe line’s surface and creates a sturdy new pipe, it effectively fixes just virtually any defect or damage in the line. These include:

• Leaks — Pipe lining will prevent leaks from turning into a serious problem by sealing cracks and other damage.

• • Corrosion — Cast iron pipes are prone to rust and corrosion, causing them to break and leak more frequently. Re-lining will address this problem and make the pipes good as new.
  • Broken or Misaligned Pipes — Sewer pipes may break or become misaligned due to shifting soil, digging where the lines are located, and other conditions. When the damage is beyond repair, we often recommend trenchless sewer replacement as a long-term solution.

• Tree Root Invasion — Not only pipe lining seals the gaps left by tree root infiltration, but it’s also tough enough to prevent further break-ins, keeping your lines clear for years.
