If your sewer system needs repair, it’s a serious matter. Problems with your sewer can lead to unpleasant odors, cause backups in your home’s plumbing, and worse. A problem with your sewer system can cause your plumbing to completely shut down, which can cause significant damage and is exceedingly inconvenient. If you suspect that your sewer needs repairs – or if you know that it does – don’t put it off; you need an experienced Boca Raton plumber.
Trenchless Sewer Repairs Are Convenient and Affordable
The traditional method of repairing pipes typically involves tearing up your yard – and sometimes even your floors and walls – to access the offending pipes. Trenchless sewer repairs, on the other hand, involve installing a pipe lining that is minimally invasive, cost-efficient, and easier on the environment. Before going ahead with a major project that is likely to leave your home and yard in shambles, consult with a skilled Boca Raton plumber who will help you explore your trenchless sewer repair options.
How Trenchless Repairs Work
Trenchless sewer repairs involve the minimally invasive process of lining your existing pipes thus avoiding the conventional need to tear out old pipes and replace them. Lining the existing pipes involves inserting a felt tube that’s saturated with durable epoxy; the tube is then inflated and allowed to cure in position. Once cured, the solidified lining serves as a new pipe that’s housed within the old pipe. Further, your new and improved pipes are expected to last about twice the number of years that traditional cast-iron pipes do.
Frequently Asked Questions about Trenchless Sewer Repairs
If you need to have your pipes repaired, you’re likely to have some questions about the process. While an experienced Boca Raton plumber will carefully assess your sewer repair needs and will guide you toward your best repair options, several FAQs can help get you started:
What if my pipes are fragile and old?
Typically, pipes need only retain about 20 percent of their original integrity to be viable for trenchless repairs. If your pipes aren’t completely collapsed, they can likely be rejuvenated via trenchless sewer repair.
What kind of pipes can be restored with trenchless pipe-lining?
Many kinds of pipes can be brought back to full function with pipe lining, including cast iron, concrete, clay, plastic, and PVC. A Boca Raton plumber who’s experienced with trenchless sewer repair will provide you with the information you need to help ensure that your pipes are restored to good working order for many years to come.
Is pipe lining more durable than traditional pipes?
Yes, the durable epoxy that’s used to line pipes is resistant to the corrosive water deposits that begin to work away at metal pipes right away. As such, lined pipes are far more durable and long-lasting than traditional pipes.
Are trenchless sewer repairs more economical?
Trenchless sewer repairs are usually far less expensive than the traditional method of re-piping. Not only is pipe lining less expensive to begin with but it also doesn’t require digging up your yard and tearing apart your walls and/or floors to access your old pipes. Instead, the entire process generally necessitates only one access hole. This also means that there are no reconstruction costs, and because reconstructions typically need to be brought up to the current code, there are often additional expenses involved. Finally, the pipe-lining process – because it’s less intrusive – also takes much less time than re-piping, which means you won’t have the financial burden and inconvenience of living elsewhere while the repairs are made.
