What’s Trenchless Pipe Lining?

Unfortunately, sewer pipes are often one of the last things that gets upgraded or paid attention to when property owners do find the time to spruce up their place, which is a shame, because sewer pipes are vital to managing and directing the flow of wastewater away from the premises. Fortunately, Bob Oates Sewer & Rooter offers trenchless sewer repair in Tacoma, WA, an efficient way to restore functionality to pipes.

Here’s what you need to know about the trenchless pipe lining method and what makes it an ideal choice for property owners.

The Process

When plumbers have to work on pipes under your home or the sewer lines underground, the traditional repair method usually involves excavation, which means construction equipment in your yard and a disrupted daily routine. But with the trenchless pipe repair method, our technicians only need two entry points to access the affected pipe. These entry points are typically already existing and can usually be found in basements, driveways, garages, and sometimes even in crawl spaces.

Our trenchless pipe replacement or repair process typically begins with us cleaning the pipe to remove anything that doesn’t belong there before we take measurements of the pipes and we mix the resin according to the pipe measurements. Once we mix the resin, we pour it into a liner before we load the liner into an inverter. We then use the inverter to insert the liner into the existing pipe. We use air pressure to move the resin to the host pipe, allowing it to bond and seal to the pipe.

Benefits Of Trenchless Pipe Replacement

Trenchless solutions cost up to 70% less than traditional methods as there’s no excavation involved.

Trenchless sewer replacement and repairs are also EPA- approved as an environmentally friendly way of restoring pipes, and can be completed in as little as a day while extending the service life of the pipes for up to 50 more years.
