Effective Sewer Repair in Marietta, GA

The Causes of Sewer Line Breaks

We don't necessarily need to replace sewer line pipes if they break, but it's important to realize what could cause this to happen. These causes include:

• Temperature shifts from one season to the next
• Shifts within the ground
• Pressure from underground tree or shrub roots
• Damage from years of exposure to corrosive materials
• Natural wear from age and use

A Breakdown of the Repair Process

When possible, we suggest and use less-disruptive trenchless sewer pipe line repair methods, which include cured-in-place pipe lining or CIPP. In some situations, a traditional approach to repair may be the better option. Regardless of how repairs are made, the process typically involves:

• Inspecting the affected sewer line
• Identifying the problem area(s)
• Cleaning the sewer line to prepare it for repair
• Making the repairs with either trenchless or traditional methods
• Fully replacing the affected pipe if repairs can't be made

Through CIPP, we can preserve the existing sewer line. What we do in this case is apply a resin coating to the inside of the pipe to cover any flaws and restore optimal flow. A cost-effective sewer line replacement method is pipe bursting, which gives you a new sewer line without traditional excavation. Instead, it fractures the pipe into tiny pieces so a new one can be inserted.
