Effective Pipe Relining Tips - Trenchless Ways of Replacing Your Sewer Line

Pipe ReliningIt is a very common problem to face leaking pipes which need immediate and effective solutions. While there are many ways of replacing your pipelines, pipe relining is one of the most traditional means of replacing a blocked and damaged pipe. There are some homeowners who usually opt for the more conventional methods of repairing their pipelines, but it is certainly better to use the pipe relining methods as these are some of the trenchless ways of repairing your broken or damaged pipelines. If you're eager to know about the different trenchless ways of pipe relining, here are some tips that you can take into account.

  1. Locate all the local codes: Before you start off with any work with your sewage system, make sure you always check everything with the local code enforcement office. There are different kinds of changes in the building codes that might be somehow related to your house's sewage system. Hence, it is important to ensure that your system is updated with the code and doesn't require any major changes.
  2. Check for any kind of obstacles: Before you do any trenchless repairing of your pipes, you should ensure that there are no obstructions hidden underground. Majority of the time you don't require contacting with any underground pipes or other kinds of wiring. However, still it is always a safer option to ensure these before going on with such kinds of services.
  3. Check for any large breaks in the pipe: Do you have a wet spot on your lawn which indicates that there is a huge leak in your pipelines? Well, it depends on the extent of the leak; the sewer line might not be able to coat the entire interior of the pipeline. Therefore, you need to dig a section of the line to check how much big the break is. If you think that it needs to be replaced immediately, you have to do this before you apply the sewer line application.
  4. Eliminate the roots of the tree: One of the most common issues that are found in the drainage systems is the self-penetrated tree roots. Even when a trenchless sewer pipeline is installed, the roots can easily move into the lining. While it might not be always possible to cut down a tree as it may not be standing on your own land, you can definitely think of intruding the roots. So, before starting off with your work on a sewer line, dig up the roots of the tree which are closer in distance with the line.
  5. Unclog all the drains: Keep the drains free of clogs. You can pour some drain cleaner into the drain or the septic tank so that the lines are perfectly cleared. This will ensure no clogs within the pipes and that they're clean.

Therefore, if a pipe line at the back of your lawn has leaked and broken, you can opt for pipe relining by taking into account the above-mentioned tips and ideas.

    I’m planning to hire a reputable local company that provides sewer lateral replacement services this weekend. My wife has noticed the past few days that there’s a big wet spot on our front lawn that might indicate that our pipeline is leaking. I can’t afford to have the front lawn dug up, so I want to hire a company that does trenchless sewer replacement. I like that you said I should make sure that there are no obstructions hidden under my lawns before I avail of the service. I’ll make sure to have it checked soon so the replacement will go on without a hitch. Thanks for this!
