In certain circumstance, trenchless sewer repair allows you to fix the line by inserting a fiberglass lining into the broken segment and gluing it with epoxy resin to the inner wall of the tube.

Does it Make Sense to Get a Trenchless Sewer Repair?

When you need to repair or replace your sewer, you might want to order a trenchless repair and avoid that big gash in your yard and the big fee that goes with it. Just two incisions into the earth, one at the start and one at the finish of the broken segment, and the plumbing company will pull a fiberglass tube through the existing line and glue it to the inside wall, creating, in effect, a strong new patent sewer. The trenchless job intuitively seems like it will cost less, as it involves less digging. œ”You don’t have to tear up your lawn, flower bed, etc,” seems like a winner,” you’re thinking.
Truthfully there are times when a trenchless sewer repair or replacement will save money. However, sometimes it’s actually more expensive than a trench replacement. While the trenchless repair saves digging, it requires a number of time consuming and costly procedures including three video inspections of the sewer line, mixing and applying glue to the fiberglass tube, inverting and inserting the tube the length of the faulty sewer line, pressing the new tube against the inside of the old sewer line, and waiting for it to set. The trenchless replacement includes an initial video inspection, the pipe buster procedure combined with pulling through the new line, and a final video inspection. If you compare the cost of the trenchless repair with the price of digging the trench for the same sewer segment, you’ll find that the trenchless job ends up costing 30%-50% more.
What am I missing, you ask, why are trenchless repairs and replacements so in demand then. The answer is that when digging a trench for a sewer repair requires tearing up an expensive above ground structure, the total cost of the job will includes the cost of repairing the above ground structure that was destroyed. If the final above ground repairs will run 30-50% more than the outlay for digging the trench then a trenchless repair begins to make financial sense. To get a precise comparison of the cost you need to get estimates for both types of jobs from the companies willing to do them.

When you are considering the options, several concerns bear special attention. First off some plumbers paint a picture of how a trench replacement will tear up your property. Not true. During the excavation, the team will gently remove your sod at the beginning of the dig and carefully put it back at the end. With a good company, you will hardly notice the difference between your lawn before and after. Another misconception is the belief that an obstruction like a tree or protruding patio sitting above the broken sewer line necessitates doing a trenchless repair or replacement. Plumbing companies can often excavate around obstructions, if they are not too large, and complete the trench without having to pay for above ground repair.

Nevertheless if a sewer runs under a dwelling, large fixed structure, or expensive item such as a driveway or costly patio, it probably makes sense to opt for a trenchless job. Above ground repair, in these instances, would often cost much more than 30%-50% of the cost of digging the trench.

Before completing your deliberation, examine the type of guarantee that will come with each job. Trenchless repairs put down a tube that is usually guaranteed 10-50 years against root invasion. On the other hand, trench repairs lay down PVC pipe and often come with a lifetime guarantee against root invasion. The contrast of 10 years versus life is a great difference when considering which type of repair to order. On the other hand, a pipe buster trenchless replacement offers a lifetime guarantee on the new HDPR pipe that they pull into place, which is equal to or superior to the PVC pipe.

There are other considerations to keep in mind when making your decision, such as the possibility of water pooling in the pipe, which need be taken into account when considering a trenchless repair. To find out more about these problems you should talk with your plumber. Thorough informed deliberation about this decision will ensure that you are happy with the final outcome. Trench replacements and trenchless repairs or replacements will all bring great results and either type of procedure will ensure you years of good sewer drainage.
