Why Trenchless Repairs Are Perfect For Keeping Your New Home Intact
Pipe and sewer line repairs or replacements in my new home? “Bring it on,” said no one ever. But today, more homeowners aren’t worried about them. Options such as trenchless sewer repair in Aston, PA, can do it without damaging your home and its surroundings.
Trenchless Methods: Non-Disruptive, Non-Invasive
Before, the main concern with any pipe repair or replacement was the excavation, mess, and renovations that followed. Just to repair a single spot or replace a pipe, you had to go through these destructive phases, and in a new home, no less.
Now, trenchless pipe repair exists, and new homeowners are no longer super concerned about them. The general rule of trenchless methods is that they work on pipes and sewer lines that still have most of their structure intact. This is important for the pipe lining process to have a framework to latch onto.
The only time trenchless pipe lining doesn’t work or needs to combine with some excavation methods is when there are major changes needed. Needing to relocate away from sources of damage or needing specific pipes to install are examples.
Main Trenchless Repair Methods
One of the biggest strengths of cured-in-place pipe or CIPP pipe lining is keeping surfaces intact. This applies to lawns, gardens, structures, and even indoor settings. It uses access points and cleanouts to insert a pipe liner loaded with epoxy resin. It applies a thick layer onto the inner pipe, which cures to create a new inner pipe. This can repair minor damages or line the whole stretch of pipe to replace it.
In cases of severe pipe damage or collapse, other trenchless pipe replacement methods are available. Instead of digging, removal, and replacement, pipe bursting works from the inside. A boring machine tunnels through and destroys the unusable pipe in place while pulling in the replacement. There’s also horizontal directional drilling, which creates a new space underground while pulling in a new pipe.
If your new home needs repiping, repairs, or replacement, there’s no need to worry about keeping it damage-free. Call Advanced Drains and Underground Solutions today for professional trenchless specialists.
