How Our Sewer Repair Works

Speedy Rooter offers our clients a variety of sewer repair options that are faster, cheaper, and less destructive than traditional repair methods. Instead of digging trenches on your property to access sewer pipes, our sewer repair techniques involves replacing the existing pipes through pipe bursting or pipe lining. Both methods minimize damage to your property, saving you money on remediation. These processes are also faster, taking just a few days to complete as opposed to the weeks that traditional methods can take.

What Is Pipe Bursting?

Pipe bursting is a sewer repair method that uses hydraulic machinery to burst underground sewer pipes and position the new pipe within the old one. The machine fractures the old pipe and pulls the new pipe behind it in a single process. The old, damaged pipe is forced out of place, but it still offers the new pipe protection from invasive tree roots or temperature fluctuations, promoting security and efficiency with your new pipes. Pipe bursting is often recommended when the old pipe is too damaged to be restored with pipe lining, requiring a new pipe to take its place. This process is innovative, avoiding the need for trenches to be dug and ensuring that minimal property damage is created.

What is Pipe Lining?

Trenchless pipe lining involves cleaning the inside of the sewer pipes with forced hot air and applying an epoxy resin to the walls through existing access points to your pipes. By relying on a limited amount of machinery and digging to complete this process, pipe lining does not destroy your property. In our pipe lining process, the technician pours an epoxy resin into the pipe via the existing access point. The resin is pulled through the pipe and inflated until it hardens to the inside rim. After a few hours and the resin is completely cured, the former pipe is renewed with a new epoxy-based pipe that is eco-friendly, resistant to tree root invasions, anti-corrosive, and has a lifespan of fifty years or more. Speedy Rooter recommends using trenchless repair methods whenever possible. Most pipes can be replaced using pipe lining or pipe bursting technology. A Speedy Rooter technician will perform a professional inspection to determine the best repair option.
