How “No Dig” Sewer Technology Can Spare Your Lawn and Save You Money

Posted on July 28, 2015

Sewer pipe bursting

Today, indoor plumbing is taken for granted as a modern convenience thanks to the 104,852 plumbing and sewage companies in the United States and the nearly 730,887 Americans that work for them. With new innovations, it has never been easier or cheaper to maintain and replace sewer line. However, an Angie’s List poll has shown that 78% percent of respondents are unaware that there is a trenchless sewer line replacement that requires no digging and no excavation of the previous line. Here are some things you should know about “no dig” sewer technology.

Trenchless Sewer Line Replacement
Trenchless sewer line replacement came on the residential market about 10 to 15 years ago, yet many homeowners remain uninformed. In your standard sewer pipe bursting operation there are just five key pieces of equipment: the expander head, pulling rods, a pulling machine, a retaining device, and a hydraulic power pack.

Less Damage, More Money
The worst part of pipe repair is the damage to your home and lawn. Plumbers have to go in and dig up the line. Trenchless sewage technicians on the other hand require no digging, leaving your lawn in pristine condition. When trenchless sewer line cleaning is employed, residents notice up to 90% less damage done to their grounds. When compared to traditional lining methods, pipebursting is equally durable, with some offering warranties ranging from 10 to 50 years.

When to Replace
Naturally, there are a lot of factors that go into pipe replacement, but experts generally say that if your sewer is 40 years old it may need replacing, especially if you have trees along your sewage system. Most tree roots can grow between 12 and 36 inches below the surface, however they can extend horizontally 2 to 3 times the diameter of the tree’s canopy–trees could be the reason why you might need sewer line cleaning. Call an expert today and get an inspection for a trenchless plumbing.
