A broken sewer line is something that any homeowner does not want to experience. But it is inevitable. It will happen. If not now, then maybe tomorrow. You get the bad newsa damaged sewer line. You then start thinking of torn up yards, backhoes and huge trenches that you all have to pay expensively for.
And you may have cause to believe so, considering that as far as you know, the new PVC pipes may last more years than you or your home. But a broken sewer line happens, and it is inevitable. So what do you do when it does happen?
The cost itself is hard to imagine. Think about torn up gardens, smashed driveways, backhoes on your grass carpet, and the huge holes and trenches that the plumbing crews dig. All these and more, and you have to pay for them! But the modern times bring comfort and solutions. A new discovery in the plumbing industry has made it possible to have your entire sewer line replaced without digging up or damaging your yard.
This new discovery is called the Trenchless Sewer Line Replacement System. With this innovation, your old sewer lines get replaced without the use of extensive excavation, uprooting of trees, and clearing up your driveway. As a matter of fact, only two holes will be dug, and the whole system will be done within the day.
How is this done? First, two holes are dug by the plumbing crew. One from where the lines drain, and one in the alley. Then, a pneumatic device is utilized to snake through your sewer lines. This device is equipped with a bullet head that has blades on it that will be used to break or burst your old pipes. At the end of the bullet is a cable where the new set of pipes are attached.
A new set of polyethelene pipes is attached to the other end of the cable. From the alley access hole, a hydraulic system pulls the new set of pipes through the entire sewer system. While the cable is pulled through, the blades attached to the bullet head breaks the old pipes, making way for the new set of pipes. The new sewer line is pulled until it reaches the exit hole, after which it will be connected with new joints for the major home line. After the Master Plumber approves the work, the holes dug earlier will be filled in.
There are so many benefits and advantages to the trenchless sewer line replacement system. It is faster, cheaper and more convenient. It is not messy, too. The typical dig and back fill system takes two days, leaving ugly holes, torn up garden, smashed walkways and damaged yard. Therefore, your expenses are tripled, just to get your property back to its normal look.
With the No Trench system, these do not have to be done anymore. The replacement process only needs two holes to be dug for access, the plumbing crew can be done with the project in approximately 8 hours. Your yard does not suffer damage, your landscaping remains intact, your trees need not be uprooted. Your lovely driveway, patios, fences, sidewalks, gas lines and cable lines remain untouched. The value of this service is really more than its costs.
