Trenchless Sewer Line Replacement

The main sewer line is a vital component of your home or business. It is responsible for transporting all of the waste from your toilets, drains, and appliances out of your home and into the city sewer system or your septic tank. Given the important role of the sewer line, a damaged, backed-up, or broken sewer line can quickly lead to a plumbing emergency.
If you suspect your sewer line is damaged, you should contact a plumbing professional right away. A broken or backed-up sewer line can cause hazards that are not only unsanitary but also unsafe. Aside from foul smells and overt leaks, other signs may indicate sewer line damage. An experienced plumber can determine the source of the problem and provide solutions for replacing your sewer line. At the Tankless Guys Plumbing, we use advanced technology and equipment to locate your main sewer line, mark your sewer access points, and use trenchless methods to replace it with the least amount of damage to the exterior spaces of your home or business.
Signs Your Sewer Line Needs Replacement
The last thing you want to deal with is a broken sewer line, but knowing the signs to look for can help you detect the issue before it turns drastic.
Signs to look for include:
- Drain and blockage issues throughout your property
- Foul smells coming from your drains, toilets, and appliances
- Seeing dirty water and sludge coming back up from your drains and toilet
- Leaks and flooding
While there are other indicators that your sewer line is damaged and needs replacement, these are more common signs of sewer line failure. If you’re dealing with these issues you should contact the Tankless Guys right away to schedule an evaluation.
The Process of Trenchless Sewer Replacement
Before trenchless replacement methods became accessible, plumbers needed to dig large trenches to access the main sewer line. This process was not only costly but also time-consuming, disruptive, and potentially damaging. Trenchless replacement methods are cost-effective, more efficient, and less invasive to keep potential damage minimal. At the Tankless Guys, we use advanced equipment and modern techniques to find the source of the problem and accurately solve it.
We use different trenchless sewer line repair methods, such as:
- Pipe bursting: This non-invasive technique is done using special equipment. The damaged pipe is expanded while a new pipe is inserted through the existing pipe and as the new pipe is connected, the old pipe is shattered and removed.
- Sewer Pipe Relining: This method involves the insertion of a new liner into the existing pipe. This helps create a new smooth and durable layer to extend the life of the pipe. This method is ideal for portions of the piping system but not the entire length.
While our trenchless methods allow our team to avoid excavating an invasive trench, occasional issues may occur where we may have to dig further to access the main water line. Our knowledgeable plumbers will never dig a trench before evaluating the area that needs repair. We use modern technology to assess the problem and determine the right method based on your needs and budget.
Trenchless Sewer Line Replacement Cost
When looking at sewer line replacement methods, home and business owners can opt for either traditional sewer line replacement methods or trenchless methods. Traditional methods require extensive labor as the team will have to locate the sewer line, dig a large trench to access it, and restore the area where the trench was dug out. Trenchless sewer line replacement methods don’t require the team to dig a large trench which results in significant savings in labor costs alone.
Factors that add to the cost of sewer line replacement include:
- Supply costs, such as the type of pipe used and the size of it
- Length of the pipe being replaced
- Labor/equipment costs based on accessibility to the sewer line
Given that sewer line replacement costs are based on many factors, the cost will vary per project. A detailed assessment from a plumbing professional will include all of the factors mentioned above to determine the cost. If you need a sewer line replacement, don’t hesitate to call the Tankless Guys for a proper estimate.
