Pipe Bursting
Pipe bursting is a less invasive way to replace your old sewer line. A new pipe is hydraulically set in place of your other pipe, which is burst and broken up into small pieces in the process. Pipe bursting is quick and effective, but it cannot always be performed.
In some areas, pipe bursting is illegal, and some existing sewer pipe constructions are not appropriate for the pipe bursting method. Trenchless sewer repair teams need to make sure that no gas or electrical lines are damaged in the pipe bursting procedure.
Pipe Lining
Pipe lining requires that an epoxy coating be applied within a pre-existing sewer line. As the epoxy hardens, cracks and fractures are covered, resulting in a smooth pipe surface with no more leaks.
Pipe lining also makes your sewer line narrower by default, however, which can be a problem if performed multiple times. Pipe lining is also not effective on sewer lines with collapsed sections, and it won’t eliminate sagging or bellied pipes.
Pipe Boring
Directional drilling and horizontal boring are a newer trenchless method of underground pipe installation. Boring actually allows you to replace the damaged pipe by pulling thru a new pipe.
