Replacement and repair of sewer lines can be a messy process, especially with the traditional dig approach, which requires digging a trench from your house through the yard to the curb to connect to a municipal sewer line. This method also incurs significant additional costs for fixing anything that needs to be removed and restoring your landscape. Favored trees, driveways, sidewalks, and anything else above the underground sewer pipe would have to be removed.
However, there might be a better option: trenchless pipe relining. This is a common solution for restoring an old sewer system that many homeowners prefer. Instead of digging up old, broken sewer systems, trenchless pipe relining can be used. Many older sewer pipelines made of concrete, iron, clay, or Orangeburg degrade and break over time. While not every broken sewer line is suitable for relining, many are. Reputable companies can perform a video camera inspection to determine if trench less pipe relining is possible. M&B services can help with all of your trench less pipe repair, servicing the greater Twin Cities, MN area.
Trenchless sewer pipe relining eliminates the need to dig a long and deep trench. Instead, it requires only small access pits at either end of the line. A resin-coated neoprene flexible tube is inserted into the existing, worn-out sewer pipe. Using compressed air, the neoprene tube is expanded outward against the inner walls of the existing sewer pipe. As the resin hardens, a heavy-duty PVC pipe is formed. While the new pipe’s interior diameter will be slightly smaller, it will be smoother and less susceptible to root infiltration.
