REPAIR OR REPLACE

Why Do You Need To Repair Or Replace Your Sewer Lines?

Damaged sewer lines can lead to various problems, from unpleasant odors and water damage to health risks like sewer backups, especially affecting young children and those with compromised immune systems. The causes of such damage vary: tree root intrusion, age-related wear and tear, improper installation, and chemical corrosion are common culprits. Heavy usage and ground excavation can also compromise the line’s integrity. Prompt action is crucial if you suspect sewer line damage. The best course of action is to consult a professional like those at Precision Today immediately for an assessment and appropriate solution.

REPAIR VS. REPLACEMENT

Repair Vs. Replacement: How Do You Know?

Sewer Line Repair

At Precision Today, we offer both trenchless and traditional sewer repair options for maximum flexibility. Our trenchless method starts with a camera inspection to diagnose the issue, followed by one of two repair techniques. Pipelining is ideal for minimal damage; it uses an inflatable, epoxy-covered tube to seal leaks without extensive digging. We use the pipe bursting method for more severe damage, which involves destroying the old pipe while simultaneously installing a new one. Although this option is more costly and time-consuming, it avoids major excavation.

 

Sewer Line Replacement

Precision Today offers traditional and trenchless methods for sewer line replacement tailored to your needs and situation. Traditional trenching is cost-effective but disruptive, while trenchless options like pipe relining offer a quicker, less invasive solution. Factors like location, extent of damage, and budget will determine the best approach. Consult our experts to choose the optimal method for your sewer line replacement needs.

Skip the DIY. Incorrect drain & sewer repairs can void warranties, fail inspections, and cause far more damage than the original problem. Call a certified Precision Today plumber instead.

FAQ

Common questions about Sewer Line Replacement

Do I need to dig up my yard for sewer line work?

Not necessarily. Precision Today offers trenchless options, like pipelining and pipe relining, that repair or replace sewer lines with minimal digging compared to traditional trenching.

What's the difference between sewer line repair and replacement?

Repair methods like pipelining or pipe bursting work for isolated, less severe damage using trenchless techniques. Full replacement — through traditional trenching or trenchless pipe relining — is typically needed when the damage is extensive.

What causes sewer line damage?

Common causes include tree root intrusion, age-related wear and tear, improper installation, chemical corrosion, heavy usage, and nearby excavation work.

Do I need a new sewer line?

Often, scheduling an inspection is the best way to determine this. While some old plumbing materials wear down quickly, many sewers can go decades without trouble.
