From faulty sewer lines to structural damage from tree roots, there are many reasons why your home or business’s pipes might need repair. But did you know that there’s a way to repair your pipes without having to dig them up? It’s called no dig pipe repair, and it’s a technology that our plumbers in Seattle are highly trained in. In this blog post, we’ll tell you everything you need to know about no dig pipe repair so that you can make an informed decision about whether or not it’s the right option for you.
What is No Dig Pipe Repair?
No dig pipe repair is a trenchless technology that allows us to fix your broken pipes without having to excavate them. That means no tearing up your flooring, landscaping, or walls—and no messy cleanup afterwards. And because we don’t have to dig up your pipes, the repair process is typically quicker and less disruptive than traditional pipe repair methods.
How Does It Work?
There are two main methods of no dig pipe repair: pipe relining and pipe bursting. With pipe relining, we insert a liner into your existing pipe. The liner is inflated and left in place to cure. Once it cures, the liner forms a new inner wall for your pipe that is stronger and more durable than the old one. With pipe bursting, we insert a tool into your existing pipe that breaks it up as it moves through. As the old pipe is broken up, a new HDPE pipe is pulled through in its place.
Which Method Is Right For Me?
The method of no dig pipe repair that we recommend will depend on the condition of your existing pipes and the type of damage they’ve sustained. Our plumbers in Seattle WA will conduct a thorough inspection of your pipes before making a recommendation. In general, though, relining is ideal for repairing small cracks or holes while bursting is better for replacing large sections of damaged pipe.
