Smedley Service provides trenchless sewer line repair services for homeowners in Layton, UT. Trenchless sewer repair is a method of repairing or replacing a damaged sewer line without digging up the surrounding landscape. The result is a new sewer line that our plumbers would install in one or two days without destroying your backyard.
How Trenchless Sewer Repair Works
Before we begin a trenchless sewer line repair, we first need to determine if the service is necessary in the first place. This involves inspecting the pipeline with a sewer camera to find clogs, leaks, and other signs of damage. You might also notice signs of a failing sewer line yourself before we begin the inspection.
- Drains that are slower than usual
- Clogs in multiple drains
- Bad smells coming from your drains
- Gurgling or bubbling sounds coming from your drains
- Patches of wet soil in your yard even when there hasn’t been any rain
- Patches of grass that are greener than the rest of your lawn
There are two methods of trenchless sewer line repair. One involves bursting the existing pipeline and replacing it altogether, while the other involves installing a liner to reinforce the damaged pipe. We use pipe bursting when the existing pipe has damage that is beyond repair. The repair involves feeding a hard metal “bursting” head into your sewer line. The bursting head destroys the old line and simultaneously installs a flexible yet solid new pipeline in its place.
If your sewer line isn’t damaged beyond repair, we can install a new liner. The liner is initially soft and flexible, and we insert it into the existing pipe where there is an inflation. We then imbue the liner with an epoxy resin that creates a watertight seal, filling in any holes and cracks in the old line. Once the resin hardens, you have a new pipe that should last for decades.
Both pipe bursting and pipe lining methods only involve digging a small hole to gain access to your sewer line. The surrounding landscape remains intact, and our plumbers usually complete the project within two days.
