Replace or Repair?

The question often arises as to whether the home owner or business should replace or repair a sewer line that has signs of leaking, cracked or damaged pipes. Hunt’s Services will make every effort to accurately diagnose the nature of your sewer line problems and if possible repair versus replace your sewer line because it is typically the less expensive solution. It may be we can remove a clog or blockage in your sewer line with hydro jetting which is a high pressure jet of water that we use to clean your sewer line.

As the sewer repair experts, we can use a number of techniques to repair your sewer line. It may be that your sewer only needs repair in certain places which we can excavate and then repair just the broken or damaged sections. Generally speaking if a sewer line is old and the material used for the pipes are past their life expectancy then it only makes sense to replace the entire sewer line with current sewer grade pvc piping that will last over 100 years.

However if enough of your sewer line is intact based on a sewer scope of your piping, we can use either a pipe bursting or sewer liner technique to replace it without having to excavate. Sewer liners are a popular method to replace your sewer line using an epoxy resin that is injected and then hardened in place of the existing sewer line. Pipe bursting is a technique that allows us to use the existing sewer line to burst the existing line and pull a new pipe line through to replace it. This technique requires just two points of access at the beginning and end of your sewer line to be able to pull a new pipe through.

Our Methods of Tacoma Pipe Replacement

Whenever possible, we try to replace your pipes without having to dig them up. We realize that the last thing you want is a large trench in your yard, so we use Tacoma trenchless sewer repair methods as much as possible.

In some cases, we simply insert a new pipe lining into the existing pipe. This essentially give you a new pipe without having to replace the entire thing. Pipe relining uses your existing pipe as a sleeve and the lining material as an added barrier.

Bursting is another technique that we use, during which we push a new pipe through the old one using hydraulics. Your old pipe bursts into the soil, but a new one replaces it immediately.

The “old school” method of excavating your yard to replace your entire sewer line may be the method of last resort, but as noted above if your sewer pipe material is made of cement, cast iron, clay or Orangeburg piping that is past its life expectancy and is not conducive to the other repair techniques then we replace your sewer line from property to main sewer line with PVC piping.
