Repairing side sewer lines is done using several methods. We want to repair the sewer line with as little disruption to the landscaping, sidewalks, yards, and patios as possible.

Using excavation methods can save you thousands of dollars and this method is the most expensive and the most disruptive method of sewer line repair. Unfortunately, sometimes excavation cannot be avoided when performing plumbing repairs in Cheyenne, WY.

Using our video scope technology, we locate the damage, and asses whether we have to excavate the area or if we can use a trenchless (excavation-free) repair method like:

• Pipe Bursting
• Point Repair

These are the preferred methods of sewer line repair. If we cannot use a trenchless (excavation free) method then traditional open trench excavation may be required. Sometimes pipes are too damaged and damaged in too many locations. If this is the case, trenchless technology may not be an option.

Marv’s Plumbing & Heating experts will inspect your sewer line and make a recommendation to repair it using one of the following methods.

Sewer Line Repair Methods

Open Trench Excavation

Excavation is the oldest form of sewer line repair. Sometimes the damage done to your sewer line can only be fixed using excavation. Using a backhoe, old pipes are exposed and replaced with new ones. Once the old pipe is replaced, the trench is backfilled. Excavation is expensive and messy and we will try to avoid it, especially if we can use more modern techniques like Trenchless Repair, Pipe Bursting, or CIPP (cured-in-place pipelining).

Trenchless Repairs

Trenchless technology to repair a side sewer line allows us to repair your drain and sewer lines without excavating across your property. Additionally, trenchless repairs are more cost-effective than excavation.

There are a few types of trenchless repair methods:

• Pipe Bursting: Pipe bursting is a trenchless method of replacing buried pipelines (such as sewer, water, or natural gas pipes) without the need for a traditional construction trench. “Launching and receiving pits” replace the trench needed by conventional pipe-laying.
• Point Repair: A flexible pipe is inserted into the existing damaged pipe. This inserted pipe is installed by just digging one hole and therefore does not require major excavation, or the need to dig a trench. This is why it is also sometimes called point repair because it typically requires the plumber to just create one hole or access point.
• Pipe Lining: For this method of trenchless technology, a special liner is filled with resin then pulled or blown into the pipe. Once the liner is in place, the resin hardens and provides a smooth seamless pipe that will allow it to flow freely.
