Trenchless Sewer Line Services in Sacramento and Nearby Areas

Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Sacramento is your local, licensed, insured trenchless repair and installation expert. Sewer line problems can be frustrating, and we get it. Fixing a sewer, be it a busted pipe, ruptured pipe, or leak, can be expensive, especially if one chooses the traditional sewer repair technique when considering the expense it usually entails when digging up your landscaping.

The traditional sewer technique involves fixing a sewer by unearthing the faulty pipes. This method involves excavating. As expected, it can be time-consuming and require more job hours. Every area where the faulty pipes are would be dug, so it would most likely affect concrete slabs, the fence, the lawn, and other areas of the house.

The trenchless sewer installation method has changed the game. It involves fixing a pipe without digging it out. We make simple access points where we can review the sewer issues and repair, replace, or fully install a new sewer line using the faulty pipe, which acts as a host for the new pipe.

Thanks to trenchless technology, fixing the sewer does not have to be stressful and backbreaking. At Mr. Rooter, we have highly skilled Sacramento plumbers who would find a long-lasting solution to your sewer line issues.

How Does Trenchless Sewer Installation Work?

First, an access point would be located, after which a camera would be inserted to navigate where the fault is. This camera is flexible so that it can go as deep as necessary. When the problem is discovered, our team will create an attack plan to ensure the least damage to your property and wallet. Unlike a traditional sewer line repair, we can repair or replace your pipes quickly without damaging them using the trenchless “no dig” method. There are two options when it comes to trenchless technology. We have listed both below and given a detailed paragraph on what each one does.

Pipe Bursting

This technique involves breaking the existing pipe inside to fit a new one. The existing pipe could be expanded to increase the length of the sewer line. This trenchless technique involves two access points. A bursting head is inserted into the old pipe to break it, and attached to the device is a new pipe made of high-density polyethylene. This new pipe can be stretched to increase the sewer line. Pipe bursting does not require a lot of digging.

Pipe Lining

The second trenchless sewer technique is pipelining. This technique is much easier than pipe bursting as it involves just one access point. This technique is also known as the CIPP (Cure in One Place). It involves inserting a material called epoxy into the host pipe. The epoxy is inflated while inside the old pipe. The epoxy forms a new seal line inside the pipe. A smaller pipe can also be inserted into the old pipe. Your plumbing team would use grouts or fillers to fill the space between the pipes.

Benefits of Trenchless Sewer Treatment

Here are some reasons you should go for a trenchless repair when available compared to the traditional service.

• Minimal Property Damage: Unlike the traditional repair method, which involves tearing up your landscaping to access the pipes, trenchless repair does less harm to your property.
