How Does Trenchless Sewer Repair Work?

Traditional sewer repair involves locating the sewer pipe by digging a trench on your property. This process can damage your landscaping. If the sewer goes under a concrete driveway or sidewalk, you may end up with large repair bills.

Trenchless sewer repair in Lake Havasu City, AZ, doesn’t require digging large holes. Instead, we rely on micro-tunneling to fix the existing pipe from inside the line using one of the following three techniques:

1. Pipe Lining

Pipe relining involves digging small horizontal directional drilling (HDD) holes before placing a special lining into the existing sewer pipe. We fill the liner with an epoxy material that hardens into the shape of a new sewer pipe. Once hardened, the system functions just like a new sewer line.

2. Pipe Coating

Pipe coating means our sewer repair experts insert a flexible liner containing epoxy into a junction for the existing pipe. After that, we inflate the liner to break the existing line apart — a process called pipe bursting. The epoxy hardens into the shape of a sewer pipe. This cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) functions as the new pipe.

3. Pipe Descaling

Pipe descaling involves using a hydrojet to remove rust and debris from the sewer line. It also removes small roots. Once we descale the pipe, we can use a video inspection to determine the best next step. Some lines work perfectly after descaling, while others may need us to install a liner and epoxy.

How We Diagnose Sewer Problems

We need an accurate diagnosis of the issue to use trenchless repair techniques. We often deploy a state-of-the-art video camera system to inspect the line. The video helps us find the issue’s exact location and suggests the least intrusive, most cost-effective repair option, usually involving trenchless repair techniques.

In Lake Havasu City, sewer problems can occur for several reasons, including the following:

• Root intrusions that penetrate the material
• Ground shifting that causes separations
• Old sewer line materials that crack
• Blockages inside the line

We see fewer tree root penetrations that require trenchless sewer repair in Lake Havasu City, AZ. However, this issue does occur occasionally.

We sometimes see ground-shifting problems during heavy rain, especially during monsoon season. Summer temperatures regularly hit the 90s and 100s, drying the ground to the point where it might suddenly shift after soaking up significant rain in a storm. These shifts can affect the integrity of sewer lines.
