Dealing with a damaged sewer line is one of the most stressful challenges a homeowner can face. From foul odors and slow drains to backed-up plumbing, the signs of trouble are impossible to ignore. At PJ Plumbing, we understand that every situation is unique. That’s why we offer comprehensive sewer repair services, ranging from traditional excavations for simple fixes to advanced trenchless technologies for full pipe rehabilitation. Our goal is to provide you with the most effective, durable, and cost-efficient solution for your specific problem.
Accurate Diagnosis: The First Step in Any Sewer Repair
Before any work begins, we believe in precision. Guessing the location or cause of a sewer line issue can lead to unnecessary damage and expenses. That’s why every sewer repair project at PJ Plumbing starts with a thorough video camera inspection. Our high-resolution cameras allow us to see inside your pipes in real time, identifying the exact location of cracks, blockages, or collapses. This 100% visual diagnosis ensures that our recommended solution is perfectly tailored to your situation.
Our Sewer Repair Options
Depending on the severity and location of the damage, we offer two primary approaches to sewer repair: traditional point repairs and full trenchless rehabilitation.
Traditional Point Repairs
For isolated damage, such as a single crack or a small section of collapsed pipe, a traditional point repair can be an effective solution. This method involves carefully excavating only the damaged area to access and replace that specific pipe segment.
Best for: Localized damage, shallow lines, or areas where landscaping impact is minimal.
The Process: We dig a small trench to expose the damaged section, remove the old pipe, and install a new, durable replacement. The site is then backfilled and restored.
Advantage: This targeted approach can be more economical for minor, isolated issues.
Trenchless Sewer Repair
For more extensive damage, such as long cracks, joint failures, or recurring root intrusion, trenchless technology offers a superior, long-term solution without destroying your property. Why tear up your entire yard when we can fix the pipe from the inside out? Our trenchless sewer repair methods include:
Pipe Lining (Cured-in-Place Pipe): We insert a flexible liner coated with epoxy resin into the damaged pipe. Once inflated, the liner hardens to create a brand-new, jointless pipe within the old one. This method is perfect for pipes with cracks or corrosion that are still structurally sound.
Pipe Bursting: For pipes that are beyond repair, we use a hydraulic bursting head to fracture the old pipe underground. At the same time, we pull a new, seamless HDPE pipe into its place. This method allows us to replace the pipe completely, often even upsizing the diameter for increased flow.
