The Benefits Of Sewer Pipe Lining

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Plant roots are one of the main reasons for burst sewer pipes in South Florida homes. Once a root finds the slightest bit of moisture seeping from a crack in the pipe, the intrusion begins.

The problem with root intrusion is that you need to see the symptoms before you know that there’s a problem. This mostly occurs as a leak or sewer pooling on your lawn.

Drains that back up are also a sign that something is wrong in your sewer system. The best and least intrusive fix for this is sewer pipe lining.

What Is Sewer Pipe Lining?

Sometimes also referred to as trenchless sewer repair, it involves one of two options:

1. A new pipe gets laid within the old pipe; the old pipe serves as a guide for the bursting head while the new pipe follows the bursting head replacing the old pipe in place.
2. One of a few different approaches where synthetic material is inserted within the old pipe. The process creates a new, fully sealed inner lining or pipe wall.

What Are the Benefits of Sewer Pipe Lining?

• Less intrusive and damaging
• More cost-effective than traditional repair
• Longevity
• Saves you time
• Better flow rate

Less Intrusive and Damaging

Pipe lining is the least intrusive way of repairing your sewer lines. Traditional pipe replacement involves a team of contractors digging a trench to remove the damaged portion of the pipe. That’s why pipe lining is also called trenchless sewer repair since no excavation is needed. Your lawn avoids the damage that would have otherwise occurred.

More Cost-effective Than Traditional Repair

Since pipe lining does not require excavation, less labor is required to complete the job. Specialized machines are used to examine and repair the pipes. No additional costs to repair the damaged landscaping are incurred

Longevity

In older homes, the original pipes were made from materials such as clay, ceramic, or cast iron. These materials corrode and degrade eventually leading to failure. Synthetic materials are far more resistant to corrosion and can last between 20 and 40 years.

Saves You Time

We have already mentioned the cost savings, but what about time? Well, less work being done means less time is being taken to do the work. Excavation can add a significant amount of time to a project. Remember that all the excavated material needs to be put back. By eliminating excavation, you end up saving a lot of time in the process.

Better Flow Rate

Trenchless pipe lining is more effective than traditional replacement. It involves relining the pipes with a continuous, synthetic, and pliable material. Continuous means no seams or joins exist in the new pipe lining. In the case of a sewer main, it will improve the flow rate of sewage away from the property.
