Gresham Trenchless Sewer Repair

Trenchless Sewer Repair Methods

Instead, small access lines are made and linings and tools gain access to the areas they are needed.

Cameras are also sent down to ensure the right area and diagnosis are discovered before any treatment begins, repairing processes much more reliable as well, and these include:

• Pipe Bursting
  Pipe bursting is a trenchless method of replacing pipelines that are deep underground (such as sewer, water, or natural gas pipes) without the need for a traditional construction trench. Using a busting-head, the original pipe is broken up as a new pipe is set in its place. This type of repair is done as a last resort when pipes need to be removed because they are too structurally compromised.
• Point Repair
  A flexible tube is inserted into the damaged pipe. This inserted pipe is installed by just digging one hole, which means major excavation isn’t required. This is why it is also sometimes called point repair because it typically requires the plumber to just create one hole or access point. This can be used to fix only small problems in pipes like cracks or fissures, and Cure in place piping will fix full pipelines if they need to be fully replaced.
• CIPP
  CIPP is a process in which pipe re-lining is used to install a Cured In Place Pipe (CIPP). This cured-in-place lining conforms to the contours of the original pipe. The inner new lining that is placed within the old pipe acts as a brand new pipe and stops leakages, cracks, or other structural issues in the original pipe. This process is done when there is a large crack in the pipe, but the structural integrity of the original pipe is strong enough to support an inner liner without causing further damage to the sewer system.
