Trenchless Sewer Repair in Seattle, WA

How Does Trenchless Sewer Line Repair Work?

So how exactly does the process work.? First, a plumber in Seattle, WA from Jim Dandy Sewer & Plumbing will come and identify the problem by a sewer scope/camera. We will run the camera through your line(s) and then assess the situation and recommend the best trenchless solution for your issue. We will then access the sewer line by digging two small holes at either end of the sewer run that is to be replaced. A cable is inserted at one end and fed through. A new pipe will then be inserted to replace the old pipe. The bursting head is attached to a new seamless, heat-fused HDPE pipe. As the bursting head is pulled through the old sewer line, it simultaneously breaks apart the old pipe and pulls behind the new pipe.

Costs of Trenchless Sewer Line Repair

There are many things that factor into the cost of a trenchless sewer line repair, such as soil type, material prices, and how deep the sewers are buried. Home and business owners' insurance policies generally exclude sewer line replacements due to damage that is caused by gradual wear and tear over the years. Trenchless options can cost 30-50% more than conventional digging in some cases. The average cost for trenchless pipe repair is generally around $6,000-$12,000, which may seem like a lot, but it can be more cost-effective in the long run because you're not spending thousands of dollars in additional restoration work. There is also less disruption to existing structures and landscaping.

Types of Trenchless Sewer Line Repair

The two most common types of trenchless sewer repair are pipe lining and pipe bursting. Typically pipe lining requires digging access holes on either side of the lateral pipe. Pipe bursting is a method where a cone-shaped head is hydraulically pulled by steel cable through the old sewer line, breaking apart the old pipe underground while at the same time pulling into place a seamless HDPE pipe that is the same size or larger than the old pipe. Some pipe bursting benefits are the following:

• You save around 40% compared to traditional methods.
• The repairs happen underground without expensive and damaging trenchwork.
• The old pipes are replaced with seamless high-quality HDPE pipes.
• There is no major digging required.
• Damage is minimized because the trenchless sewer replacement is performed via small access points.
• It saves time and money. Not only is excavation expensive for homeowners, but it creates an additional expense for remediation of the project site. When you factor the potential of subsequent repairs to your porches, driveways, walkways, and landscaping, you add a significant additional cost to a more expensive method
