Water lines play an important role in your home or business. They deliver water from the city line into your home through channels dug underground. Although these water lines are durable, their placement makes them susceptible to external damage resulting in cracks, breaks, and deterioration. Given the importance of water lines, any damage can cause disruptions such as leaks, flooding, and slow-running water. So what do you do if your water line is damaged?
Traditionally, plumbers would have to dig large trenches to access these underground water lines. Not only was this time-consuming, but it was also costly and messy as workers would have to dig through whatever was above the water line, like lawns, gardens, or concrete foundations. Luckily, technology has advanced and the emergence of new methods like trenchless water line repair has become more accessible.
As mentioned, traditional repair methods require plumbers to dig large trenches to access the water main. Depending on where your water main is located, this could easily result in your patio, garden, or lawn being dug through making it unusable throughout the length of repair. Trenchless water main repair has emerged as a new repair method that solves your problem while keeping your home’s exterior spaces intact.
Benefits of trenchless water line repair include:
Trenchless water pipe repair methods call for minimal digging into your outdoor space. Rather than digging a large trench to access the water pipe, small entry and exit points are drilled into the ground above the water pipe. This allows access to the pipes without destroying areas in your outdoor space. From there, plumbers can proceed with their trenchless repair methods.
Trenchless Water Pipe Repair Methods include:
The cost of a water line repair depends on many factors. The cost of materials can vary depending on the type of pipe used. Water supply pipe materials typically consist of galvanized steel, copper, PVC pipes, polybutylene, polyethylene, or lead. The existing pipe material is used to assess repair methods and to estimate the effort going into the repair. From there, expected labor, equipment use, and hourly rates can be determined. If the existing water lines are old, it may be necessary to consider a water line replacement.
