Pipe replacement

If you want to be able to protect your structures, driveway, hardscaping, and landscaping and to avoid tearing up all of the latter because suddenly you need to get to underground water pipes, consider a trenchless sewer pipe replacement. By installing the trenchless option now, you can avoid future costs associated with the destruction of your yard and having to get access to pipes the hard way.

With the average trench, you have to dig up a section in front of the house, and the traffic may also have to be redirected: This is particularly true when repairs are necessary on the sewer lines and property owned by the city.

For the last decade and a half trenchless pipe replacements have been an available option for homeowners. Nevertheless, so many homeowners do not even know that there is such an option available. Pipe bursting and pipeline are the most common types of trenchless line replacements.

The most common types of trenchless sewer line replacement are pipe lining and pipe bursting. When it comes to pipe bursting it is a process involving the act of pulling a new pipe through an old, damaged pipe. As the new pipe is pulled through the old the old pipe is fractured outward simultaneously. This process often requires that access holes are dug up, each of which are located at the extremes of the lateral pipe. In regard to pipe bursting this method can be used even if the lateral pipe is collapsed as long as there is drag room allowing the passage of a cable through the damaged, old piping. The method is durable, long lasting and cost effective.

Trenchless repairs can be as high as 30 percent to 50 percent over the cost of traditional repairs, but if you can save thousands in restorative work, the initial price for trenchless pipe repair is more than worth it. How much trenchless pipe repair costs is dependent on several conditions including:

How deep your pipes are underground
The type of soil
The price of materials

A cured-in-placed-pipe or pipe liner is a resin-coated tube that is inserted into a damaged pipe and inflated. The resin will harden and this establishes a hard pipe inside the damaged pipe: One that is corrosion resistant and jointless. Pipe Lining diminishes the interior diameter of the original lateral pipe connecting the main sewer line and home. The reduction in diameter is about 1/4 inch and will not diminish pipe functioning or flower. To achieve the pipe lining method, only a single access hole is really necessary.

If you are interested in the possibility of trenchless pipe repair, it is time to talk to a pro. The trenchless means of repair may not be ideal in every situation and is dependent on pipe configuration and condition. Sewer line professionals and plumbers at Dr. Pipe Drain and Plumbing Services can advise you best about your options.

Testimonials

Drain Work and Sump Pump Installation

Max was the first person to respond to our call for help after our basement flooded. He was quick in determining what the root of the issue was, and fixed the problem quickly. In addition to finding the issue, he also showed us a (potential) issue in our sanitary and storm water drains. He managed to find the possible issue with the drain-camera in a quick amount of time.

Max was courteous and professional when it came to helping us find future issues as well. He helped us alleviate concerns about future problems, thanks to his professional explanation. I have to admit I was also pleasantly surprised by the work of his crew. They cleaned their area thoroughly each time as well. Now I know that extensive repairs are never going to be cheap, but I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised at how reasonable the pricing was. Max even helped us fill out the necessary paperwork to file for our basement flooding prevention subsidy.

Backed-Up Drain

It is not often that a plumbing company is able to save you 10,000 dollars. We had experienced a serious drain backup and received quotes from five different drain and plumbing specialists. These included some of the more popular local names, and a few that received a very high ranking on HomeStars. Most of them scoped the drain and told me all the root issues and the critical deficiencies that would continuously lead to problems. They suggested that that we crack the floor, replace the drainpipe, and have the pipe from the front lawn excavated, I would be looking at around $5-10k!

Max did the same exact research that these other companies did, but he told me that the drain was not deficient at all; in fact, it had many more years left! I know that Max was honestly biting his tongue when we discussed what these other companies had said. He rooted the drain (very fast) and there has not been a single issue with our pipes since.

Drain Replacement, Backflow Valve, Sump Pump, Etc.

When I woke up this morning, I was not expecting my basement to have transformed into a full-blown lake. One of our neighbors recommended Dr. Pipe. Our neighbors had needed to replace some of the drains under their home and also recently had a backwater valve installed.

Max came to us and talked about the quote. One of the great things about the discussion was that he took his time and explained everything to me. I remember that Max took the time to make sure that both my partner and I were on the same page and understood everything.

I really want to be honest and admit that I was not particularly friendly that day, I had already received three different quotes, and I just wanted the work to get started. We still decided to go with Max’s company, despite the fact that we already had several other quotes. It was not just about money that we were going to pay, it was about quality, it was about trust, it is about wanting to give my business to a company that wanted ME as a customer.

I can tell you that both Max and his crew came across as polite, clean, honest, and reliable. They were extremely pleasant to work with. The quality of the work that they delivered is excellent, and it certainly added value to the home. Even our insurance rates went down because of the quality work.

It is extremely comforting to know that I have peace of mind the next time that the rain comes down. During the last late-fall storm, it was extremely comforting to hear the sump pump turn on, that sound really allows you to sleep soundly at night.

I have no doubt that the pipes are going to be fine once the tree roots are growing and the snow melts. It is comforting to know is that even if they are not fine, I know that Max is going to be a phone call away to help me set things right. I would honestly be shocked if Max somehow did not uphold the warranty that we have. Honestly, that is the level of trust that we have in Max.

Trenchless Sewer Pipe

I received two quotes for my plumbing. The quote from Dr. Pipe was good, but what I really appreciated was the fact that the professionals at Dr. Pipe took their time to look at the issue, do the research, and actually SHOW me the problem in real-time. The other company never did give me an exact quote, and I was quite worried about potential “unexpected costs.” Both Max and the rest of his crew were extremely professional, kept the area as neat and tidy as possible, and cleaned up after they were done. Despite the fact that I was not actually onsite during the entire three-day process, I felt comfortable enough to give them a key to the property. When someone actually came and took something from the property (I was expecting them to), Max actually called my private number and asked me whether this was OK. I would highly recommend the services of Dr. Pipe.
