Not only can sewer pipe replacement take a chunk out of your wallet – from a few thousand to $20,000 or more – traditional methods can be disruptive, displacing landscaping and even forcing unlucky homeowners to dig up garages and driveways when their lines run beneath them. But for those looking to bypass the backhoe, there are new methods of “no dig” sewer replacement that can save homeowners holes and heartburn. The pipe bursting method involves pulling a new pipe through a damaged one, simultaneously fracturing it outward. This method typically requires access holes to be dug on either side of the lateral. Pipe bursting may still be done on a collapsed lateral if there’s room to drag a cable through the old pipe. Going trenchless can save you money, including the majority of situations where homeowners are responsible for the condition of the sewer line to its connection with the sewer main.
Because sewer repairs often fall under the individual homeowner’s responsibility, preventive maintenance could end up saving thousands of dollars in potential damages. These five tips can help homeowners keep sewer pipes flowing freely:
