A Sewer Line Repair is NOT a DIY Job

When you find leaks or sewage back up, in or around your house it must be your main priority to get your sewer line fixed as soon as possible.

A sewer pipe leak is a serious problem that must be addressed by qualified professionals. Corrosion and tree roots can damage sewer lines, creating holes or cracks in your sewer line. If this is your case, contact a licensed plumbing company to get your sewer line repaired. 

How much does cleaning and repair cost?

The first step to repair your sewer line is to make a diagnosis. Our team of plumbers will perform an on-site sewer inspection with our designated camera.  The total cost depends on the severity of the blockage or if a pipe has a hole in it. For instance if it requires a hydro jetting service the cost can be $650-$800 on an average day. However a repair that requires parts to be replaced can be more.

Trenchless Sewer Line Repair in Seattle

trenchless sewer repair seattle wa

When you need a sewer line repair, the normal approach is to excavate to expose the pipes and repair or
replace them. This method is invasive and inconvenient.

A trenchless sewer line repair is a good alternative if you want to avoid major damage to your property and
its surroundings. It’s not an option for every case but can be a great option to discuss with a sewer technician.

There are four common approaches to this method:

1. Cured-in-place-pipe lining

An epoxy-soaked liner is inserted into the damaged pipe and left to cure
for a few hours. The result is a seamless pipeline inside the existing one. 

2. Spray lining and brush coating

This technique is like CIPP lining, but instead of using a felt liner, the
plumber will spray or brush an epoxy or flexible polymer to create the new pipeline.

3. Pipe bursting

A pneumatic head, follows the path of the damaged pipeline. It breaks up the existing
pipes clearing the way for a new, flexible line to occupy the space.

4. Pipe Lining

A new pipe with a smaller diameter is inserted inside the damaged line. The area around
the new pipeline is filled with grout. Although this is considered a trenchless technique, it is the more
invasive of the four.

What Should I Expect From a Sewer Repair or Cleaning Job?

The first thing to do is to diagnose the problem. A technician will run a camera inside your sewer pipeline to mark its location on the surface.

It´s important to let your plumber know about any utility lines that might interfere. It is highly likely that you will need a permit from the authorities to start work and permission from your
neighbors if your pipeline runs under their property.

Repairs are loud and some normal plumbing services might be unavailable, so avoid using toilets or any kind of drain while repairs are in progress.

A common technique used for cleaning a sewer line is hydro jetting in which water is blasted at a high pressure through the pipe to clear it of any blockages. Contact The Pipe Doctor for any details and or questions!
