Trenchless Pipe Lining FAQs Answered

Trenchless pipe lining in Seattle, WA, is a cost-saving and safer alternative for repairing pipes. It involves using a special epoxy that creates a new pipe within the existing pipe, masking cracks, gaps, and other flaws. 

At Sewer Solutions NW, we often receive a lot of questions about this advanced method. We share some answers below to help you make an informed decision.

Does Trenchless Pipe Lining Work on Every Pipe?

Trenchless sewer repair works with virtually all types of pipe materials. These include cast iron, clay, PVC, Orangeburg, ABS, concrete, and steel piping. It will even work on corrugated metal pipes as well.

What's the Difference Between Cured-In-Place Pipe (CIPP) Lining and Pipe Bursting?

CIPP lining uses a resin-soaked sleeved pulled or pushed into place to reline the existing pipe. It’s an ideal solution for minor or isolated damage in the pipeline. On the other hand, pipe bursting is a trenchless pipe replacement method that involves breaking up existing pipes then pulling in a new one. It’s suitable when repairs can no longer salvage your damaged pipes.

How Much Does Trenchless Pipe Lining Cost?

The cost of trenchless pipe repair depends on a lot of factors. The most crucial one is the length of pipework that needs lining. If the sewer line is short and has a few bends, rehabilitating it will be less expensive. Other factors include your geographical location, pipe accessibility, the extent of the damage.

Do I Have to Leave My Home During the Project?

There’s no need to leave your home during trenchless sewer replacement and repair. However, we may need to turn off your water supply and prohibit access to your drains, so plan for water interruptions in advance. Rest assured that we’ll keep disruptions to a minimum and accomplish the job promptly. Once the project is finished, all that’s left is a bit of clean-up and you can go about your day as usual.
