When I noticed standing water in the backyard, I knew there was a plumbing problem.
Damaged pipes are never a good thing.
Pipe repairs or replacements are typically invasive, time-consuming and expensive. I did a bit of research and learned about an alternative to excavating the yard. Trenchless pipe lining is a relatively new option and can considerably trim the cost of service. Epoxy pipe lining is a process where a brand new pipe is created inside the existing pipe. It eliminates the need to dig, reduces labor costs and leaves no giant mess behind. When I hired a local plumbing company that specializes in pipe lining, they sent a plumber to provide a thorough inspection. He used a sewer camera that provided real-time footage from inside the pipe. The camera revealed the invasion of tree roots into the pipe and accumulation of debris. The plumber followed up with hydro jetting to clean and clear the pipes. He then inserted and inflated a pipe liner to form a brand new pipe. There was no longer any debris, holes or gaps in the pipe. The repair was completed very quickly and maximized drainage. The repair cost approximately 50% less than a traditional pipe replacement and should prove long-lasting. The plumber assured me that this modern technique should provide up to fifty years of reliability. I was relieved that there was no damage to my gardens or grass. It is an eco-friendly alternative that avoids harmful waste or debris. I had read that proper installation is especially important. If not handled correctly, the liner can slip, shrink and obstruct flow capacity. The plumber I chose stands behind their work with a 100% satisfaction guarantee.
