KNOW THE BENEFITS OF A TRENCHLESS SEWER LINE REPAIR
The conventional method of repairing damaged sewer lines is a thing of the past. Trenchless sewer line repairs can be completed quickly, with little disruption to nearby property, compared to the old method of digging up the damaged line. Thanks to trenchless sewer line repair techniques, we can now replace damaged sewer lines without the labor-intensive excavation and damaged property involved, unlike old conventional procedures.
YOU NO LONGER NEED TO CAUSE DAMAGE TO YOUR LANDSCAPING
There is very little digging necessary for trenchless sewer line repair. Two four-foot by four-foot holes are required to access the old pipe. It’s fast in comparison to conventional techniques. Our team completes the repairs in a fraction of the time compared to the old methods, now, it only takes several hours, and the cost is much less.
CURED-IN-PLACE PIPE LINING (CIPP) STARTS WITH AN EPOXY-SOAKED LINER
We start by using an epoxy-soaked pipe liner. The sewer main lining is also known as a structural pipe liner or cured-in-place pipe lining (CIPP). The pipe lining is pulled into place and entails building a new pipeline inside the existing, damaged one.
WE FIRST COMPLETE A CCTV SEWER LINE INSPECTION
To find out what’s going on inside the sewer pipe, we first conduct a Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) sewer inspection. Then, we evaluate its structural soundness, check for any obstacles, look for cracks or breaks, and more. This process is fast and easy and does not damage anything during the procedure. Therefore, the trenchless sewer line repair can move forward if the pipe is in generally good condition despite the damage.

THE SEWER LINE REPAIR STARTS BY CLEANING THE LINE WITH A HYDRO JETTER
The pipe is hydro jetted in the following phase to completely clear it of any dirt, grease, tree roots, or anything else that could be inside. Before we hydro jet, bigger tree roots will get broken down using a plumber’s snake. The CCTV inspection will reveal a full view of the sewer line. Hydro jetting cannot remove large tree roots, despite its ability to break through and wash out moderate tree roots. Additionally, hydro jetting gets used to clean out the pipe to prepare it for the lining. The pipe’s present diameter should match its initial diameter without any imperfections. Furthermore, we don’t want to install your new line over an unclean pipe.
WE FILL THE SEWER LINE WITH AN EPOXY-SOAKED LINER
The actual sewer pipe lining procedure comes next:
- We created two four-by-four-foot access holes to access the damaged pipe.
- Once the pipe is exposed, we fill the old line with an epoxy-soaked liner.
- A bladder is positioned inside the pipe liner, and when the bladder gets inflated, the epoxy-coated liner will get pushed up against the pipe’s interior wall.
Then the bladder is removed after a few hours of curing, and you can now enjoy the benefits of a new sewer pipeline inside the old one. When you need sewer line repairs in Wildomar, CA, Big B’s Plumbing has you covered!

MOST COMMON QUESTION
Customers occasionally ask us if it will reduce the diameter of the pipe and, if so, how this would impact the pipe’s flow rate. Although pipelining somewhat reduces a pipe’s diameter, it normally boosts your sewer pipes’ flow rate. Therefore, the fundamental issue is the flow rate rather than the diameter of the pipe. In addition, because freshly lined pipes are slippery, somewhat like waterslides, the flow capacity gained compensates for the loss in pipe diameter.
PIPE BURSTING IS ANOTHER FORM OF TRENCHLESS SEWER LINE REPAIR
Another trenchless sewage repair technique is pipe bursting, frequently employed when replacing lateral sewer lines where the house meets the street. Pipe bursting is more affordable than the old conventional sewer line repairs. However, it does have some drawbacks and is best suited for straight lines because the high-density polyethylene (HDPE) has trouble navigating bends in the sewer line. Although, we can usually pull a brand-new HDPE pipe into the old pipe to replace it even if the old sewer pipe has lost some of its shape or structural stability and cannot be lined.
How Does Pipe Bursting Work:
- Similar to pipe lining, we first conduct a CCTV sewer inspection to determine the line’s condition. Making sure the pipe isn’t a candidate for pipe lining is important.
- We next create two four-by-four-foot excavations to access the broken pipe, one hole at the end of the pipe. This usually is completed in the front yard.
- Now your new HDPE pipe is pulled into place while the old pipe has broken up, while the new one is being pulled into place.
- We do one last CCTV inspection once the new pipe has replaced the old one. After that, the two access holes get filled, and the repair is finished. Pipe bursting is a chemical-free, trenchless approach and is friendly to the environment.
TRENCHLESS SEWER LINE REPAIRS HAVE THEIR ADVANTAGES
Saves Time: The restoration of trenchless sewer repairs is quick. Repairs that once required days or even weeks to accomplish using old, outdated techniques can now be finished in a matter of hours.
Less Invasive And Cost Less: Digging up floors, demolishing walls, and spending thousands of dollars on repairs are all part of the old traditional sewer line repairs. However, because trenchless sewer repairs require little disruption to your property, you won’t have to pay landscapers to redo your yard because it only takes two small holes.
Long Lasting: A trenchless sewer line repair is a permanent solution. For CIPP, the repairs can last more than 50 years or more, and for a new HDPE pipe, you could expect it to last 100 years.
