What Is Trenchless Sewer Line Repair?

Trenchless sewer line repair is a minimally invasive method for repairing damaged sewer pipes without the extensive excavation required by traditional sewer line replacement. Instead of digging up large areas of your property, trenchless methods use existing access points to repair or restore the damaged pipe.

The process typically begins with a sewer camera inspection to locate and evaluate the damage. Depending on the condition of the pipe, Bill Howe may recommend structural epoxy or injection-cast epoxy pipe lining to restore the sewer line from within.

Trenchless repair can reduce digging and property disruption while providing a durable solution for certain sewer line problems. A professional inspection can determine whether trenchless repair, pipe lining, or traditional replacement is the right option.

Signs You Need Sewer Pipe Lining or Repair Services

Unless you work for Bill Howe, you probably don’t give sewage systems much thought. After all, when things are working correctly, there’s no need to think about your sewer system. However, when something goes wrong, such as a significant blockage or cracked pipes, the typical signs can’t be ignored. Here are common signs your sewer lines aren’t working properly. If you experience any of the below, it’s essential to contact Bill Howe Plumbing for a sewer line inspection. Our service professionals will identify the problem and determine the most appropriate sewer line repair or lining solutions.

Backed Up or Slow Drains

If multiple drains are draining slowly or not at all, there could be a major obstruction in the main sewer line from your home. 

Strange Odors

When you smell sulfur or other unpleasant odors coming from drains, it typically means there is a leak or damaged area in the sewer line.

Sewage Backups

When tubs, toilets, or sinks have wastewater backing up, there’s a strong chance your sewer line is blocked. 

Gurgling Sounds

Bubbling or gurgling sounds from drains or toilets are signs of trapped air that could be caused by blockages or damage. 

Higher Water Bills

If your water bills are higher than normal and there are no other reasons, such as increased water usage, the culprit is usually a sewer line leak. 

The Trenchless Pipe Repair Process

Before this technology was available, digging trenches to access and replace old pipe infrastructure was the only option. The conventional process was costly, time-consuming, messy and could cause collateral damage. Trenchless pipelining repair costs less, is much quicker, and far less invasive. Plus, Bill Howe offers financing options that fit your budget.

  • A professional plumber uses an advanced camera to locate damage, blockages, and other plumbing issues requiring repair.
  • Once identified, obstructed lines are cleared and internally cleaned.
  • After inspection and preparation of drain or sewer lines, a certified lining team applies a structural epoxy lining.
  • For repairs involving vertical fittings and 90-degree turns, an injection-cast epoxy spray is applied over the lining to ensure thorough coverage and durability.

Occasionally, minor digging is required if a suitable access point to the line is unavailable. Bill Howe’s expert plumbers determine which method is right for your plumbing and budget. The new lining restores your plumbing efficiency to as good as or better than the original pipes.
