What comes to mind when you think of a main sewer line replacement in Columbia SC? A huge hassle. Well, not anymore. Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Columbia SC offers several different types of convenient sewer line replacement services that promise as little disruption to your normal routines as possible.
Traditional sewer line replacement isn’t always welcomed as the service involves digging a trench and cutting off your home’s water supply for several days. We know how inconvenient this is for anyone, and that’s why we aim to make the process as painless as possible. How, you ask? It’s a blend of courteous professionals, expert knowledge, and cutting-edge tools that come together to make quick work of your Columbia sewer line replacement. Here’s a rundown of how it all works:
Plumbing Inspection And Diagnosis
At Mr. Rooter Plumbing, we take our inspections very seriously. It’s the first step in any replacement process and, quite possibly, the most important one. Why? Because it helps us identify exactly what is going wrong with your sewer line. There’s a chance your pipe is cracked but also a chance a tree root has infiltrated it. And then again, you might just have yourself a clog from the foreign objects your toddler flushed for fun. The way we would treat each of these situations differs from the others, so it’s very important to correctly identify the issue. Once we find out what is wrong, we will either recommend cleaning with hydro scrub jetting, repair, or replacement.
Hydro Scrub Jetting
While this isn’t technically one of our replacement options and falls more into the maintenance or cleaning categories, hydro scrub jetting will be used to effectively clean your pipes if the clog you’re experiencing is not from a tree root. If we are repairing your pipes, we will need to clean out your sewer line before we slide the flexible tube inside your old pipe. Hydro scrub jetting has the power to blast away all kinds of dirt and debris. We use it in our regular drain cleaning service as well to get rid of stubborn clogs and backups. Dirt and debris don’t stand a chance against this super-powerful process.
Sewer Line Repair
If, after we take a look inside your pipes and find just a few hairline cracks or pinholes, we’ll likely recommend pipe lining. This efficient process involves thoroughly cleaning your pipes with hydro scrub jetting before digging a small hole to access your main sewer pipe. Once we do that, we open up the pipe and slide in a flexible tube coated in epoxy. This solution hardens with time, and you’ll need to refrain from using your water line for a few hours while it sets. Once the tube is in the correct location, we’ll leave it there, and it will create a tight bond with your existing pipe. After it dries and sets, you are free to use your water line as usual, and you will not experience the same leaks, bubbling, or odd noises you might have before.
Sewer Line Replacement
If you are experiencing corrosion or cracks, leaks from burst pipes, or tree root invasion, we’ll need to replace an entire sewer pipe by digging it up. And depending on how extensive the sewer line damage is, we may need to replace more than one pipe. Using high-tech video camera equipment to inspect the condition of your pipes, we can correctly identify where the damage is and how extensive the repair will be. Proper inspection allows us to prevent as much excavation in your yard as possible, as we will be able to isolate the part of the pipe that needs replacement. There is a chance that your entire sewer line will need to be replaced if your pipes are nearing the end of their lifespan or if they have extensive damage.
