Traditionally, sewer line repairs require extreme excavating of the surrounding soil to access the sewer lines. Not only is this unsightly, but it is extremely destructive to your property, not to mention the extra time to clean up the dug-up dirt. However, technology has significantly improved the methods of sewer line replacement over the past few decades. One of the most beneficial improvements has been the use of trenchless technology.
Hicks Plumbing Services is proud to offer trenchless technology for all sewer line repairs & replacements, along with our top quality plumbing services. As one of the best plumbing companies in Northern VA, we provide expert technicians who can find the cause of your problems without destroying your property and fix the issues much quicker than traditional methods. If you are wondering how a trenchless plumbing job works, here’s a guide to our step-by-step process so you’ll know what to expect:
Initial Sewer Line Inspection
Upon arrival, your technician will want to inspect the sewer line that’s causing the problems. They’ll do this by utilizing sewer line camera inspections using a plumbing snake.
This method of inspection allows the technician to get an extensive view of your plumbing lines with minimal excavation so that they’ll be able to identify specific locations of the sewer line that needs repairs or replacements.
In fact, the only excavating that will be required are the access points of your sewer lines. Any land that your sewer lines run through can be left intact and untouched.
Clearing Your Sewer Line
Next, if your sewer lines have any debris or blockages, our technicians will use our hydro jetting methods to clear out any obstructions that may interfere with repairing your sewer lines. Using highly-pressurized water, hydro jetting will push out any dirt & debris.
Relining Your Sewer Line
If you are looking for an alternative to completely replace your sewer line, relining your sewer lines may be a great option, which is also less costly due to trenchless technology.
From the access point of the sewer line, our technicians will apply a new lining made from a specialized epoxy for your sewer lines. This epoxy, once completely dried, will act as a new pipe within the previously damaged sewer pipe.
Final Inspection
After your epoxy coating has been fully dried, our technicians will perform a final inspection to ensure that all parts are repaired properly and fully-functional.
Your technician may perform another sewer line camera inspection to make sure there are no cracks throughout the lining so water does not leak.
