Trenchless waterline repair is a modern, efficient method to fix damaged pipes without extensive digging. Here’s how it works:
1. Initial Assessment
We begin by using a camera inspection to assess the condition of your waterline. This helps identify the damage and determine the best repair solution.
2. Preparation of the Site
Small access points are made at each end of the damaged section, allowing us to repair the waterline without disturbing your property.
3. Pipe Lining or Pulling
The two main trenchless methods are:
- Pipe Lining: A flexible liner is inserted into the existing pipe, inflated to fit, and hardened, creating a new, durable inner lining.
- Pipe Bursting: For more extensive damage, a new pipe is pulled through the old one, breaking it apart as it goes, effectively replacing the old section.
4. Final Testing
Once the new pipe or liner is installed, we conduct thorough testing to ensure the waterline is functioning correctly, checking for leaks and proper water flow.
5. Restoration
Since trenchless repairs require minimal digging, your yard, driveway, and landscaping are restored to their original condition with little disruption.
