Trenchless Sewer Replacement Why Trenchless? Patios, driveways, sidewalks, and landscape remain intact with
no Property damage. Pipebursting has been used successfully in both municipal and industrial applications to replace many different types of pipeline. Gas, water, sewer, and production lines, as well as communication ducts have all been replaced with Pipebursting, even in crowded underground situations. Trenchless technology for the replacement of underground pipe in NOT NEW, and the standard equipment and methods generally used are well known. Experience has shown that the planned operation of pipebursting heads does not damage other buried utilities, even when they are only a few feet away. The surrounding soil serves to absorb the vibrations created by pneumatic heads, and pipe fragements are pushed far enough away to prevent damage to the new pipe. And, since most pipelines are below the frost line, Pipebursting operations can be carried out safely at any time of year
Pipebursting is much less traumatic than traditional pipeline replacement. Long sections of pipe can be replaced without introducing open trenches and heavy equipment, since digging is limited to relatively small access pits. And, since the old pipe is left undisturbed underground, it does not present a disposal problem. Why Dig? Reline your Pipes
NuFlow is a new process to repair your pipes and reline them with NuFlow. Broken sewage lines can cause a back-up into the house, but also cause underground pollution outside the house. They do need to be fixed soon as it is identified that there is a problem. When the line is destroyed by crushing, or shifting ground, or a tree root that has crushed it through expansion, you have to dig it up and replace it. But if it is just backing up and leaking because of tree roots constantly coming through joints, there are alternatives to digging it up. An epoxy liner is a really interesting process. You see the
end result in the graphic below. First the line is cleaned out
with rooter. Then the pipe is inspected with a camera to be sure
that there is a full sized passageway to the sewer line. If all
is good, then a rope is run down the line. This rope serves to
pull through a rubber bladder with an epoxy soaked cloth like
pipe that is folded into a fairly small package. When this long
sausage is in place as one continuous unit all the way from the
house to the line, air is pumped into the bladder. These forces
the epoxy soaked liner out to hug the walls of the old pipe.
When it becomes rigid, the bladder is deflated and pulled out
of the middle. You now have new pipe with no joints. With no
disruption in the yard and a cost of anywhere from the same price
of pipe replacement to less than half, depending on the job  |
