Main Differences between Trenchless Sewer Replacement vs Traditional

#1.Speed of Process

When it comes to speed and replacing a sewer, trenchless sewer replacement is much faster than traditional sewer replacement. When utilizing trenchless sewer replacement, a pulling machine is used to pull the new pipe throughout the old pipe. Whereas, the traditional replacement will require digging up the pipe and completely replacing this. This process of total replacement is going to be very dependent upon the weather and whether it is good enough to dig and undergo the pipe replacement. Whereas, trenchless sewer replacement is not as reliant upon the weather as much.

#2.Cost of Replacement

If you are considering the cost of sewer replacement, you are going to find that this can be a quite expensive process. However, the method that you choose can vary the cost and in many situations the variance can be rather dramatic. The main variance that you will see in cost is going to depend upon just how much line is needed. Realistically having to replace 10 feet of line is going to be cheaper than having to replace 100 feet of line. However, you will also find that the trenchless sewer replacement is less expensive in the long run than when compared with traditional sewer replacement.

#3.Damage

One of the issues that people have with sewer replacement is the damage that this does to their property. After all, traditional sewer replacement includes digging up the yard, driveway or anywhere else in which this pipe may be broken or damaged. Flowers or trees may have to be removed to access these lines. This does also factor into the cost. Trenchless sewer replacement is less invasive when compared to traditional methods. With this procedure, your yard is not disturbed as much, flowers and trees are often left to bloom and grow in peace. A huge plus for property owners!

#4.Environment

For those who are worried about the effect that sewer replacement has on the Earth, they are going to find that trenchless sewer replacement is considered a green technology. Since this method does not tear up the ground as much and is all about minimizing the effect on the ground, it is the greener option. IN addition, trenchless replacement often results in a better water flow thanks to the smaller pipe joints. Traditional replacement often results in damage that takes a year or more to repair to look as it did beforehand. The best option is by far, trenchless sewer replacement.

Testimonials

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 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.

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.

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.
