Address Pipe Damage With Trenchless Pipe Lining in the Alle-Kiski Valley and the Nearby Areas

In the past years, drain and sewer repair in the Alle-Kiski Valley or other areas we serve meant digging up the pipes to assess the situation and do the necessary repair work. However, our experts at Shelton Plumbing have a better solution for you. We provide trenchless pipe lining to rehabilitate damaged pipes within hours. You now don’t have to destroy your yard, driveway, road, or any part that covers the lines.

Issues We Address

Our zero dig process is very effective and can help sort out several pipe issues. From our many years in the field, we have found that we can repair any buried line using our pipe lining procedure. Some of the common problems we solve with this process include:

Cracks
Root infiltration
Missing pipe parts

Benefits of Using the Pipe Lining Technology

As with other minimally invasive solutions, pipe lining means no digging up faulty pipes. Therefore, you will maintain the beauty of your yard and also avoid the cost of repairing the dug-up portion after the pipe restoration. You also do not have to pay for extra labor for the manual job of digging and returning the sewer pipes.

Another perk is the reduced time spent doing the job. You do not need to take many days off your regular schedule because of the repair work. In most instances, you only need a day off, and we will come in and complete the work by evening. This also benefits commercial building owners since they will not have to shut down businesses for many days.

Additionally, our pipe lining process is odorless. Since we begin by cleaning up the line and do not dig out the smelly pipes, you will not have to endure sewage smells for the rest of the day. When repairing commercial sewer lines, the business continues its operations as usual so that your customers do not get inconvenienced.

Trenchless Pipelining FAQs

What Is Trenchless Pipelining

Trenchless Pipelining is a sewer pipe repair process that involves cleaning out a sewer line and installing an epoxy lining that seals the entire inside of the pipe which prevents leaking, keeps storm water out of the pipe, and stops roots from growing into the pipe. All of this is done through an access point so a trench does not need to be dug to access and replace the sewer line. The process has been third party verified to last a minimum of 50 years and is much less expensive than digging up a sewer line.

How Does Trenchless Pipelining Work?

All in all there are over 100 steps that requires a crew of 3-4 plumbers a half day of prep, a full day of installation, and a partial day of examination. But here is a brief overview:

Everything starts with a visual inspection using a sewer camera.
Then roots and debris are cleaned out of the pipe and the sewer line is pressure washed from the inside.
After this, the pipe liner is prepared with special epoxies.
Using state of the art tools and equipment, the liner is maneuvered into the pipe where it is pressurized and then steam cured.
The equipment is removed and a visual camera inspection is done to confirm everything is perfectly sealed.

Is Zero Dig Pipe Repair the Same Thing as Trenchless Pipelining?

Usually yes, zero dig pipe repair is a common reference for not needing to dig a trench to repair or replace an old pipe. However, don’t assume that this is always the case. Someone may just clean out your pipe and not install a pipe liner, keep in mind that a clean leaky pipe still leaks. Always confirm that that repair includes the installation of a patented Perma-Liner that has been third party verified to last a minimum of 50 years.

Is Pipelining The Answer For Roots In My Sewer Line?

While there are several ways to get roots out of a sewer pipe, trenchless sewer repair is the only true fix, aside from digging up and replacing the pipe. Even if roots are physically or chemically removed from a pipe, they will still grow back. And even if you remove the roots and cut down the tree, roots can still grow for five years after the tree is cut down. The bigger problem with root removal is that the holes in the sewer pipe are still there and can leak waste out and let water and debris back in.

Is Trenchless Pipelining Safe?

Trenchless pipelining is very safe, in fact it is safer than digging up a sewer line because the ground has already settled and is not disturbed by the lining process. There is no risk of your yard, home, sidewalk, driveway, or even foundation shifting or being effected by the pipelining process. Plus, with trenchless pipelining there is no risk of cracking a pipe, putting tension on a pipe, or messing up the slope of a sewer pipe when backfilling that you could experience when digging up a sewer line.

Does My Insurance Cover Trenchless Pipe Repair?
