LATERAL Cured-In-Place-Pipelining
Your failing sewer pipe does not need to be dug up and replaced. We have a better way of rehabilitating your failing underground sewer or drain lines without excavation! We utilize the latest cured-in-place-pipe lining technologies to reline the old, deteriorated pipe and a new pipe is formed within your old pipe.
Cured-in-place-pipe (CIPP) is a trenchless rehabilitation method used to repair existing pipelines. The inversion lining process involves the installation of an epoxy-impregnated felt liner within the failing host pipe. The liner restores the structural integrity of the original host pipe from end to end with an expected design life of more than 50 years. As one of the most widely used rehabilitation methods, CIPP has applications in gas, sewer, water, and chemical pipelines. The CIPP equipment we use for drain and sewer lines focuses on 2” to 8” diameter pipes.
SIGNS OF A FAILING SEWER LATERAL LINE
-
Slow Running Drains
A slow drain may be a symptom that a blockage is forming which will eventually lead to a sewage backup. If your toilet, bathtub, or sink is draining slowly even after attempts to clear the line, you may have issues such as tree root intrusion, channeling, or cracks. -
Sewer Backups
Sanitary sewer backups usually occur in the lowest open drain. A sewage backup is typically caused by a blockage somewhere in the line. -
Sewer Gas Odor
If you can smell sewer gas in or around your home or building, this is a tell-tale sign that there is a crack somewhere in your sewer system. -
Mold
In addition to sewer odor, mold growth may also be a sign of a break in your sewer lines behind your walls. A cracked sewer pipe behind a wall can cause the humidity levels to rise to a point suitable for a mold problem to begin. -
Extra Green Grass
Spotting an extra green and lush patch of grass in your yard may be due to a sewage leak underground. Sewage acts as a fertilizer so the surrounding soil will provide extra nutrients that will result in a lush and extra green appearance. It may look beautiful, but there's an issue! -
Broken Slab & Wall Cracks
Buildings will often develop cracks in the concrete slab and supporting walls as they settle and the ground shifts beneath them. However, if your home is developing new cracks it may be because you have a broken sewer line that is washing away the soil supporting the foundation. This is not a scenerio that improves over time, the issues must be addressed.
