Traditional Sewer Line Replacement and Repair

Traditional Sewer Line Replacement and Repair

Although Accurate Leak and Line is best known for our trenchless repair solutions, we also perform best-in-class traditional sewer pipe repairs and replacements. Every system is different, but we find that most sewer systems will require a mix of trenchless and traditional repairs. Among other things, our expert plumbers use traditional methods to install new sewer pipes, drain pipes, and sewer mains

What Should I Know About Traditional Sewer Pipe Repair?

Much like our trenchless plumbing services, our traditional sewer pipe repairs and replacements begin with a complete diagnostic assessment of your plumbing system. Once we’re ready to get started, we will create a custom plan for your sewer pipe replacement or repair and present you with your options. While we do perform sewer pipe repairs, we highly encourage complete sewer system replacement. Rather than needing us to come back and address future issues, sewer system replacements are a budget-friendly, time-saving option. Our sewer system replacements replace or reroute your system externally, minimizing cosmetic damage to your property.

We understand that one of the bigger appeals for trenchless sewer pipe repair is sanitation. Traditional sewer repair often involves digging a trench, and in the hands of less reputable plumbing companies, this can become a serious mess. You can be confident that Accurate Leak and Line follows the most stringent sanitary guidelines, as well as restoration processes that leave your property clean and safe.

Sewer Pipe Repair FAQs

We get a lot of questions about the excavation process involved in traditional sewer pipe repair and replacement. While traditional repair methodology involves more digging than our trenchless repairs, rest assured that our excavations are efficient and sanitary.

After we’ve made a preliminary diagnosis, we’ll map out the excavation. You’ll be presented with options to choose from, as well as fixed costs for each.

Our OSHA-certified crew members will expose faulty sewer lines with shovels and chipping hammers. In order to minimize damage to your property, our crew has received confined space training. Throughout the process, excess dirt is hauled away and work areas are kept tidy. Once the work is done, we’ll backfill the excavations with tamping hammers for maximum compaction.

During traditional sewer pipe repair and replacement, we might use:

  • External excavation, or tunneling from the outside
  • Interior access excavation, which includes jackhammer penetration of the slab or foundation
  • Exterior rerouting, where we reroute new lines outside of your property

We’ll let you know before we start working on which method is best for your situation.
