Most homeowners aren't excited when they find out that their underground pipes need repairs, and that's completely understandable. Traditional methods of sewer line repair require extensive trenches to be excavated across your property, destroying your beautiful and carefully maintained landscaping. However, there's a solution to this, and that would be Toronto trenchless sewer line repair service options.
Mr. Rooter Plumbing's team of experienced plumbers now prefers modern methods for trenchless sewer repair. Toronto homeowners can breathe a sigh of relief, knowing that there's no need for extensive excavation. Instead, our professional plumbers will only need to dig, at most, two access holes. With that, we can easily access your sewer lines for a Toronto trenchless sewer repair, getting you back to your daily routine with minimal disruptions.
Video Inspection
What happens inside your drain lines is a mystery until an experienced Mr. Rooter plumber shows up to complete a thorough inspection and find out exactly what is causing problems for you and your family. Our team accomplishes this with plumbing inspection technology like acoustic listening gear for slab leak detection, infrared cameras that show a heat map to indicate leaks and plumbing video camera inspection services.
With video camera inspection, a small camera with a light is lowered into your drainage pipe and manipulated through your line while it records video footage. Once it has been retrieved from your drain, your Toronto plumbing professional will review its footage to help make their diagnosis.
HydroScrub® Jetting
If the problem turns out to be a major clog or blockage, you don't need pipe lining—but you still need a Toronto trenchless sewer line repair solution. Our strategies for sewer line repair sometimes include hydro jetting, which is a very useful and efficient method of drain cleaning that uses pressurized jets of water to blast away buildup, clogs and debris from your drainage pipes. It gets rid of sticky material like solidified grease, which makes it more difficult for clogs to form since they don't have anything to hold on to. Hydro jetting extends your plumbing’s lifespan and helps prevent the need for projects like pipe replacement for longer.
Pipe Lining
Pipe lining (or relining, as it's sometimes called) is one of the most effective types of trenchless technology for trenchless sewer repair. If a pipe has some issues such as cracks and breaks that need trenchless pipe repair but it's not severely damaged, your Victoria plumber will likely recommend relining. It essentially involves inserting a fabric "sleeve" saturated in epoxy resin into the damaged pipe with an inflatable tube inside. Once the resin-saturated liner is in place, that tube is inflated to push the liner into place against the walls of your pipe, and it is left to cure and harden. The inflatable tube is removed after epoxy cures, leaving a hard, waterproof lining inside the existing pipe that is durable, long-lasting and resistant to problems such as tree root intrusion.
Pipe Bursting
Depending on the severity and extent of the damage, another option for a Toronto trenchless sewer line repair is pipe bursting. This involves completely replacing the damaged section of the pipe with a brand-new pipe. If your sewer line is severely damaged or structurally compromised in a single section, then pipe bursting is likely to be the recommended option for a trenchless sewer repair in Toronto.
Pipe bursting works as follows: A hydraulic bursting head is pulled through the old, damaged pipe, breaking it apart and pushing it out of the way. Simultaneously, a new pipe is pulled through the space left behind by your old pipe. Once the new section of pipe is in place, our trenchless plumbing experts will connect it to your existing lines, creating a seamless repair. Pipe bursting is another option to consider when you need a Toronto trenchless sewer line repair.
