Question 1

Is trenchless repair always possible for mainline sewer repair?

Accepted Answer

Oftentimes, yes, but not always. If the sewer line is severely damaged, for instance, or made of materials that tend to be costly to maintain, traditional repair or replacement methods may be more appropriate.

Question 2

How long does it take to repair mainline sewer pipes?

Accepted Answer

The answer depends on the approach that we take for mainline sewer repair in Atlanta, GA, and nearby areas. However, we can usually complete mainline sewer repairs in a day or less since we use methods that are as minimally disruptive as possible.

Question 3

What's required for a trenchless approach to repair?

Accepted Answer

The affected mainline sewer pipe needs to be stable enough for a liner for CIPP. If it's not, we may use another trenchless technique known as pipe bursting. With CIPP, the work is done through an existing access point, which is usually a manhole.

Question 4

What causes damage to mainline sewer pipes?

Accepted Answer

Age is a common culprit. Mainline sewer lines can also be affected by seasonal temperature changes, tree roots, corrosion, improper installation, and soil shifts.

Question 5

Can older mainline sewer pipes benefit from trenchless methods?

Accepted Answer

In many cases, it's possible to use CIPP on older mainline sewer pipes, including ones made from cast iron, clay, Orangeburg, or concrete. As long as there's still structural stability, trenchless techniques can often be reliably used.
