Well, trenchless sewer line replacement is now a way of the future. The old way of replacing a sewer pipe is to dig up the old pipe, by hand or with a machine, and lay a new one. This way is very labor intensive and can be very expensive when a line is in a difficult position, such as under a house, a road or under concrete.

The trenchless replacement technology saves valuable time and money and is particularly efficient when the sewer pipe is a house, a driveway, under a big tree.

So how exactly does sewer trenchless sewer replacement work?

Using this new sewer pipe replacement method we excavate a hole at the building where the cast iron pipe goes under the house and we then dig a hole at the end of the sewer pipe near the curb at the street. We expose the sewer drain pipe in each hole and cut out small sections of pipe. Next, we feed a large strong steel cable between the two excavations. Attached to this cable is a metal cone shaped head that breaks the old pipe in place to exactly the size of the new trenchless sewer pipe. The new sewer drain pipe is actually a black plastic pipe about 5 or 6 inches in diameter. This sewer drain pipe is joined together by melting the ends of the pipe and joining them to create one continuous length of sewer drain pipe without any joints, eliminating leaks and tree roots form entering the pipe.

As we pull the cable through the sewer drain pipe with 10 tons of pressure, the splitting head bursts the old sewer drain pipe and pushes it out of the way making room for the new sewer drain pipe.

The actual replacement of the sewer drain pipe usually only takes a few hours and the work can be done within one day. There is no problem pulling through roots or under driveways or even homes. This trenchless replacement technology works well and because the new sewer drain pipe has no joints, is flexible so it will never crack or break and no roots can get into it.

The new sewer drain pipe also called HDPE pipe is very smooth internally so the sewer drain pipe is very efficient for water, debris and toilet solids to flow freely.
