We utilize advanced technology to provide a less invasive, more efficient, and often more cost-effective alternative to traditional sewer line repairs.
1. inspection
The first crucial step is a thorough inspection of the existing sewer line. This typically involves using a specialized camera that is fed into the pipe. The camera provides a real-time visual assessment of the pipe's interior, identifying the location and extent of any damage, such as cracks, leaks, blockages, or root intrusion. This detailed examination helps determine the most appropriate trenchless repair method and ensures accurate and efficient remediation.
2. preparation
Once the inspection is complete, the preparation phase begins. This involves cleaning the existing sewer line to remove any debris, buildup, or obstructions that could interfere with the repair process. Depending on the chosen trenchless method, this might involve hydro jetting (high-pressure water cleaning) or using specialized tools to clear the pipe's interior. Proper cleaning is critical for creating a smooth and even surface for the new lining or pipe section to adhere to.
3. repair
The actual repair process involves inserting and installing the new pipe lining or pipe section. For pipe lining (CIPP), a flexible, resin-saturated liner is inserted into the existing pipe and inflated. The resin is then cured, creating a new, seamless pipe within the old one. For pipe bursting, a new pipe is pulled through the old one, simultaneously breaking apart the old pipe. The repair method chosen will depend on the results of the initial inspection.
4. final inspection
The final step involves a post-repair inspection to ensure the integrity and functionality of the newly repaired sewer line. This typically includes another camera inspection to verify that the liner or pipe is properly installed and that there are no remaining defects. A pressure test might also be conducted to confirm that the line is leak-free and operating at the required capacity. Successful completion of these final inspections guarantees a long-lasting and reliable sewer line repair.
