Trenchless Sewer Replacement & Installation

Trenchless sewer replacement is an innovative method that allows homeowners to address sewer line issues without the extensive digging associated with traditional techniques. This preserves your property’s landscaping and structures with a more efficient and less disruptive solution to sewer repairs.

John C. Flood explains the benefits of trenchless sewer replacement, including its cost-effectiveness, environmental advantages, and the various methods employed. We’ve been in the plumbing business for over 100 years, so we’re experts at keeping your plumbing systems operating smoothly and efficiently.

What is Trenchless Sewer Line Replacement?

Trenchless sewer line replacement replaces or repairs underground sewer pipes with minimal excavation in your yard. Unlike traditional methods that require extensive digging, trenchless techniques preserve the surface landscape. If you know you need sewer line replacement, ask your plumber if the trenchless method is appropriate for your project.

How Trenchless Sewer Replacement Works

There are two main methods of trenchless sewer replacement. Both methods are efficient and minimize surface disruption.

Pipe Bursting

A specialized tool called a bursting head is inserted into the existing pipe, fracturing it outward while simultaneously pulling in a new pipe to replace the old one. This method effectively replaces the entire pipeline without the need for large trenches.

Pipe Relining

Pipe relining, or cured-in-place pipe (CIPP), involves inserting a resin-saturated liner into the damaged pipe. Once in place, the liner is cured using heat or UV light to form a seamless, jointless pipe within the old one.

Benefits of Trenchless Sewer Replacement

Opting for trenchless sewer replacement offers several advantages over traditional excavation methods:

Cost-effective: Trenchless methods are typically less expensive than traditional dig-and-replace techniques, especially when factoring in the costs of restoring disrupted landscapes.
Faster completion: These methods typically complete the project within a day, reducing the inconvenience associated with prolonged construction projects.
Minimal property disruption: Trenchless repairs require little to no digging and cause minimal damage to lawns, driveways, and other structures on your property.
Durability: The materials used in trenchless repairs are designed to prevent common issues in the future such as cracks, corrosion, and root intrusion for a longer-lasting solution.
Environmental benefits: By reducing excavation and preserving existing landscapes, trenchless methods create a smaller carbon footprint.

Signs You Need a Sewer Line Replacement

A well-functioning sewer line maintains your home’s hygiene and structural integrity. Recognizing the early signs of sewer line issues can prevent costly repairs and health hazards.

Look for these key indicators that suggest the need for a sewer line replacement.

Frequent Clogs and Slow Drains

If multiple fixtures in your home, such as sinks, bathtubs, or showers, drain slowly or experience frequent clogs, it could indicate a blockage or damage in the main sewer line. Individual clogs are pretty common, but simultaneous clogs around your house might point to more significant problems within the sewer system.

Sewage Backups and Foul Odors

Raw sewage backing up into toilets, tubs, or sinks is a clear and urgent sign of sewer line failure. Additionally, persistent foul odors from drains or around the property suggest that sewage isn’t being adequately transported away from the home. These problems are potentially due to cracks or blockages in the sewer line.

Sinkholes or Soggy Spots in the Yard

Unexplained wet areas, lush patches of grass, or sinkholes in your yard can indicate a leaking or broken sewer line underground. The escaping wastewater saturates the soil, leading to these visible signs on the surface.

Other Signs

Beyond the primary indicators we just mentioned, several other symptoms can suggest sewer line issues:

Gurgling noises from toilets
Sudden pest infestations
Mold growth on walls or ceilings
Unexplained increases in water bills
Foundation cracks
Lush, green patches in the yard
Sinking driveways or pavers

Trenchless Sewer Line Installation Process

If your plumber tells you that you need a new sewer line installed and you both agree that the trenchless method is the best option, here’s what you can expect.

Initial assessment: Specialized cameras are used to thoroughly inspect the existing sewer line and identify the extent and location of damage.
Site preparation: Small access points, known as entry and exit pits, are excavated at the beginning and end of the segment to be repaired or replaced.
Pipe cleaning: The existing pipe is cleaned to remove debris, roots, and buildup, clearing the path for the new installation.
Choosing the appropriate method: Depending on the condition of the existing pipe and project requirements, your plumber will select either the pipe bursting method or the pipe relining method we discussed earlier.
Insertion of new pipe or liner: The new pipe or liner is installed through the prepared access points.
Curing and inspection: For pipe lining, the resin is allowed to cure, solidifying the new pipe. Then, a final inspection is performed to ensure the installation meets quality standards and that all connections are secure.

Trenchless Sewer Line Replacement Cost: What to Expect

While trenchless sewer line replacement can be a great alternative to traditional methods, it helps to understand the associated costs when considering this option. Contact John C. Flood today to learn more.

Financing and Cost-Saving Options

Homeowners have several avenues to manage the costs of trenchless sewer line replacement:

Financing plans: Many contractors offer financing options or coupons to help offset the upfront cost.
Warranties: Services that include warranties provide long-term savings by covering future repairs.
Regular maintenance: Routine inspections and maintenance can identify potential issues early, preventing costly repairs down the line.

Providing Comfort to Families for over 120 Years

The plumber and electrician they sent were knowledgeable, professional, and equally as important, full of integrity. While they presented various options, they did not try to sell me something that I did not need. I would highly recommend them, the company has come a long way and I appreciate the service men they sent.

The technician helped me with my water heater. He researched the part that is needed, order it and I truly hope to see him again on the install soon. He was very knowledgeable and extremely helpful!!!

I have used John C. Flood for plumbing issues 3 times now. Each time, they're very responsive and reasonably priced. Each time, my technician has been Harry Hudson. He has done excellent work for me. Highly recommend the company and the technician!

I had an issue at my rental property over the weekend. John C Flood is a life saver! They sent someone out right away and he was knowledgeable, friendly and worked quickly for our guests. I will be using them again.

I cannot speak highly enough of John C. Flood and specifically Dale Jr. He has repaired my system twice in a moment of crisis and has gone above and beyond to make sure we are happy with the outcome. He takes the time to explain the situation and lays out all the options and processes so clearly so I feel comfortable with what he is doing. The company is excellent at sending people in a timely matter.
