Trenchless Sewer Repair in Los Gatos, CA

Types of Trenchless Sewer Repair

Pipe Bursting: In the pipe bursting method, a Los Gatos plumber uses a bursting head to shatter the old pipeline from the inside. As this happens, a new HDPE pipe is drawn into its place. This technique requires minimal excavation, with just two pits at the line’s ends, and can even increase the pipe’s diameter for improved sewage flow.

Pipe Lining: A Los Gatos plumber might recommend the pipe lining technique, often termed cured-in-place or structural lining. Here, an epoxy-coated liner is placed inside the old pipe. After inflation, the epoxy solidifies, creating a fresh inner lining. Some methods involve applying resin inside or introducing a narrower pipe and sealing any space with grout or connectors.

Trenchless Sewer Line Replacement

After assessing your Los Gatos sewer line, we will determine whether repairs are an option, or if you are going to need trenchless sewer line replacement. These are similarly non-invasive, and work by pulling a pipe bursting head through the broken pipe, pushing it out while sliding the brand new pipe in to fill the void. You are left with a brand new sewer line, and your yard is still in one piece.
