Traditional Sewer Line Repair
Traditional repair uses the “open-cut/trench” method to access damaged sections of your sewer line. A backhoe opens the work area to expose the pipes for repair or replacement.
This method allows our technicians to visually inspect each pipe section, making sure your installation is comprehensive and effective. We can spot any additional problems that might not be visible with other methods.
Traditional repairs do take longer and cost more than alternative options. There may also be some damage to your landscape that will need restoration afterward.
Our expert team will assess your specific situation and guide you toward the best repair method for your needs. We consider factors like pipe condition, location, and budget to recommend the right solution.
Trenchless Sewer Line Repair
Many property owners worry about destroyed yards, parking lots, and driveways during sewer repairs. Our trenchless repair techniques fix your sewer line without tearing up your property.
What is Trenchless Sewer Line Repair?
Trenchless repair fixes your sewer without the disruption of extensive digging. We don’t need to remove flooring or foundation to access the affected pipes.
Instead, we restore pipes from the inside using small access points or by digging a hole in your yard to reach drainage pipes. This minimal-impact method saves your landscaping.
The Trenchless Process
First, we thoroughly inspect and clean your sewer lines. Then, we install a flexible, epoxy-saturated tube liner inside your drainage pipes.
This liner adheres to the inside of your pipe, creating a new pipe within the old one. The process effectively fixes cracks, holes, age deterioration, and root intrusion.
The liner begins as a flexible material that can navigate bends and pipes of different diameters. Once hardened, it forms a completely sealed, sturdy new structure.
Long-Lasting Results
Sewer pipe liners typically lasts up to 50 years once installed. This isn’t a temporary fix but a long-term repair solution. We verify proper installation using camera technology that allows us to view inside your sewer line. This confirms the repair meets our high standards.
Do I Need to Replace My Sewer Line?
The lifespan of your sewer line depends on its materials. Clay pipes last about 50-60 years, while cast iron pipes may last up to 100 years. Several factors can shorten your sewer line’s life:
- Poor initial installation
- Tree root infiltration
- Corrosive soil conditions
- Changes in sewer codes since installation
- Disruptive construction or natural disasters
Millcreek Plumbing has extensive experience performing sewer line replacements throughout the Salt Lake City area. We can inspect your property and provide honest advice about the best action plan for your sewer line.
