Learn how trenchless sewer line repairs can save Bloomington, MN homeowners money.
When it comes to plumbing repairs at your Twin Cities home, one of the most feared issues is a cracked sewer line. Not only can it be gross, smelly, and dangerous – yes, you can have sewage leaking into your property – but it can also be costly.
Traditionally, to repair a sewer line, plumbers would need to dig up your yard to first inspect the pipe, determine the problem, and try to guess the location of the defect. Then, to repair or replace the sewer line, they would dig an even bigger hole. The catch – and the expensive part – is that the trench could disrupt the home’s landscaping, patios, or even a driveway, depending on the location of the sewer line defect.
This is messy, annoying, and expensive for homeowners.
Fortunately, some sewer line issues can be repaired much more easily – with a trenchless sewer line repair. Our team at Ground Tech digs (yes, pun intended) into what trenchless sewer repairs are and how they can save you money.
Trenchless sewer line repairs are what you’d expect – a way to repair a sewer line without digging a trench.
During these services, trained experts use small holes at the end of the pipe to repair it. Technicians can use several different methods, including pipe bursting, pipe lining, and pipe relining. The pros will determine which technique should be used for each situation.
It’s important to note that while trenchless pipe repairs are convenient and effective, they will not work on all sewer line defects. When you need sewer line repairs, our team of experts will determine if the trenchless method can be used, or if a traditional method is needed instead.
When you schedule trenchless pipe repairs at your Bloomington, MN home, there are many advantages you will experience compared to traditional sewer line repair methods.
Some of the top advantages are the efficiency and convenience of not having to spend time digging the trench, less intrusive repairs, long-lasting fixes, and of course, cost savings.
Let’s explore the various ways you can save money with this approach.
Trenchless sewer line repairs and replacements can save you money compared to traditional methods using a trench to access and fix the pipes. Check out some of the top ways you can reduce costs.
The top way trenchless pipe repairs save you money is by requiring less labor and less overall work and effort. When digging a trench, more people are required – for much longer shifts – and even heavy equipment is needed.
In contrast, during trenchless pipe repairs, the labor is much less as extra manpower and equipment are not needed to dig the trench. Instead, minimal experts need to be on hand – for much less time – to perform the work.
When technicians complete trenchless pipe repairs, they will do so accurately and precisely. This means they won’t be digging around to find the location of the crack or leak, and you don’t need to worry about paying for other repairs or replacements again shortly. These repairs will last a long time.
One of the biggest advantages and largest cost savings comes from not damaging your yard or landscaping. Not only is having to resod your yard, repave your driveway, replace your patio, or even some shrubs, time-consuming, but it is also costly. Replacing these items will add up – quickly. The trenchless sewer line services prevent you from needing to make the extra purchases or do the extra work, making this technique more cost-effective compared to traditional methods.
Another way trenchless sewer line repairs can save you money is by requiring less of YOUR time. You will face minimal distractions, and the timeline of the project will be much shorter. If you need to take time off of work to be present during the repairs, it will be minimal, and it won’t be as noisy as traditional repairs, meaning you could even try to work from home.
