The bad news: You’ve got a broken sewer line. The good news: You don’t have to excavate a massive quarry in your front yard to repair it, saving you repair and landscaping costs.
Al’s offers trenchless sewer line repair, no holes required. How? Well, we have two pretty amazing tricks up our short sleeves.
Pipe bursting is the first method. Basically, we insert a hydraulic pipe-bursting machine through small access holes where the damaged pipe starts and stops. The machine breaks up the damaged pipe and pulls replacement pipe through at the same time. Pretty nifty, eh?
Pipe relining is a similar method, but without the heavy equipment. Just like it sounds, we line the inside of the old pipe with a new one made of epoxy that creates a new, tough inner wall. Pipe relining is good for root-damaged pipes, rusted pipes, and to seal cracks and holes.
