Residents of Santa Clarita who are having issues with their sewer lines should really take in all the options available to them. In almost all cases, a residential or commercial homeowner will not have the time nor the patience to sit out a week waiting for their sewer lines to be fixed via traditional sewer repair methods. How would you like to have a quick and efficient sewer pipe repair or replacement without having to dig up your precious landscape property? It’s now a possibility, and it’s all thanks to the new revolutionary trenchless technology.
Trenchless Pipe Bursting
Pipe bursting, or sometimes referred to a “pipe splitting” by technicians are used to replace water mains and sewer pipes that have a large diameter. The entire process starts with the technician creating 2 access points, one located at the front and the other at the back of the problem pipe. A bursting head is then inserted via pushing or pulling method; the head has a much larger diameter than the problem pipe, and this breaks apart the old pipe as it moves along. Just behind the bursting head, a new pipe is dragged along, which then forms the new pipe. The ends are attached and the system is turned back on.
Trenchless pipe bursting is significantly more cost-effective than traditional pipe replacements because it doesn’t need extensive property digging. Property managers and homeowners can relax, because their lawns, landscapes, front yard and garden are safe from destructive practices.
Trenchless Pipe Lining
The trenchless technology of pipe lining is best used when the sewer pipe has corroded, cracked or has become misaligned due to a number of reasons. Pipe lining lends strength and sealing to where it is needed most. Technicians start the process by first doing an inspection to see where and what the issue is, and in doing so they can formulate the right course of sewer line repair option. Once this is resolved, the problem pipe is cleaned of obstructions and unnecessary debris. A liner that’s saturated with epoxy is prepared. This liner will be pulled through the problem pipe, expanded and left to harden. The epoxy in the liner sticks to the old pipes and create a pipe structure within. It’s worthy to note that the new pipe material is much more durable and is jointless.
CIPP, or cured in place pipes solve a number of common sewer pipe issues and materials, including cast iron, clay, cement or PVC pipes. As with pipe bursting, there is simply no need to hire large machinery to try and dig through the landscape in order to reach the problem sewer pipes. Homeowners and business owners solve their sewer line problem without having to replace the entire sewer line, which saves on time and money.
Determining the right kind of trenchless technology is largely dependent on the condition of the sewer pipe, and its location. Inspection is the key to doing the right thing, and a technician wielding a high end, fiber optic camera can initiate that inspection and determine the correct course of trenchless technology action.
