The Common Pipe Issues

Age is a common source of pipe problems. Those that have been in use for many years are more susceptible to cracks and fractures. Older pipes that are cracked are, in turn, more likely to have issues with leaks and tree root intrusions. Other common pipe issues that should be reason enough to give your trenchless contractor a call include:

• Pipe dipping or sagging
• Weak or loose pipe joints
• Damage from movements within the ground
• Structural problems stemming from seasonal temperature changes
• Corrosion caused by regular exposure to air and water

A Breakdown

Our approach to pipe repair depends on what's best for you, the condition of the affected pipe, and your budget. If trenchless solutions are possible, there are two options we may recommend: Cured-in-place pipe lining or CIPP is a trenchless pipe repair method that restores the pipe from the inside so it can last longer. This is done with a resin-filled liner.

On the other hand, if a pipe needs a complete replacement, we can do it by breaking up the old pipe. Through pipe bursting, a new pipe is put into the same space without bringing it to the surface.

If there are issues with the available workspace or other factors involved, we may recommend traditional repair. If this is the case, we dig up the damaged pipe. With pipes affected by corrosion, we apply chemicals that remove the rust and prevent future issues with corrosion. Pipes may also be neutralized with cathodic protection, which protects pipes with electrical currents.
