  • Some homeowners may not know that tree root infiltration could be behind their sewer damage. When in search of water, roots may break through your sewer lines and cause backup.

  • Soil movement is another natural cause of the need for sewer repair or replacement. Detroit sewer lines may sag or suffer from joint misalignment due to ground shifts and soil movement.

  • One of the more preventable causes of sewer repair is clogs and blockages. Blockages can occur when non-biodegradable items such as grease, oils, sanitary napkins, paper towels, hair, food scraps, and more make their way down drainage and toilets.

Video Inspection for Sewer Replacement and Sewer Repair: Detroit

The first step for either a repair or sewer replacement is to enlist professional services for video inspection. For this process, our plumbers will feed a small video camera into the heart of the affected sewer line. Once the camera is in place, we'll be able to take note of any repairs that have been done in the past, as well as any obstructions that may be exacerbating the problem. Once the inspection is complete, it's time to clean out the line and get going on sewer replacement or sewer repair! Detroit locals can find out about our processes for both of these services below.

The Process of Sewer Repair: Detroit

At Mr. Rooter Plumbing, we use pipe lining in the majority of trenchless repairs. Pipe lining involves the application of epoxy resin to renew the inside of the existing pipeline. A felt liner soaked in resin is inserted into the sewer line through an existing access point. The liner is pulled through and inflated until it hardens to the inside of the pipes, creating a new pipe within the old one and voila! Your sewer repair in Detroit is complete.

The trenchless method is popular because it can be completed in a day or two, eliminates property damage from the repair process, and the resin is a superior piping material. The new epoxy pipe lasts for fifty years or more, is environmentally friendly, and will never corrode. It even repels tree root invasion, which is a common cause of sewer line damage and clogging. In cases where pipe lining is not possible, we will excavate a trench, complete the repair and fill the trench back in.

Our Process for Sewer Replacement: Detroit

Sometimes, it isn’t enough to perform a sewer repair. Detroit residents may find themselves with a heavily damaged sewer line that needs to be replaced. In these cases, there are two options for sewer replacement. Detroit locals can find out more about these options below.

Our trenchless method for sewer replacement is called pipe bursting. Pipe bursting is a method that uses small points of access to insert a specialized pipe bursting head into the existing pipe. As the head progresses along the pipe, it breaks apart the old pipe and simultaneously pulls through a new one, resulting in a seamless and efficient replacement process.

In some cases, our team may have to do a traditional sewer replacement. Detroit homeowners can rest assured that our team will do our best to minimize disruption to your property and life when this method is required.

Frequently Asked Questions About Sewer Replacement and Sewer Repair: Detroit and Area

Now that they know about our processes for sewer repair and sewer replacement, Detroit locals may have more questions that they need answered. Well, don't worry! Our plumbers have done their best to answer the most common questions from our customers in our FAQs section below.

  • Detroit homeowners may be wondering how we unclog sewer lines during your service for sewer repair in Detroit, MI. You may be surprised, but the repair process for this issue can be simplified in five steps:

    • Inspect: As mentioned above, we begin with a video camera inspection. This helps us see what kind of problems your sewer pipe has and depending on the problem that resulted in needing sewer repair, Detroit homeowners can expect a video inspection to locate the clog and detect some damages as well.
    • Sewer Cleaning: During this stage of sewer repair, Detroit homeowners can expect us to prepare the pipe by either hydro-jetting it or using a drill in case something bigger blocks the pipe. In most cases for sewer repair, Detroit homeowners can expect that all it takes is a quick water pressure blast, but the goal is always to leave the pipe open for the next step.
    • Renew: This is our signature move for sewer repair. Detroit homeowners can depend on us for a method called pipe relining. For this method, we will insert and place an inflatable liner into the damaged sewer line. We will then fill this liner with a liquid epoxy, which will become the new sewer line. Once everything is in place, we inflate the liner and let the epoxy coat the old drainpipe to take its shape. Then, we will cure the epoxy, so it hardens, and a new interior pipe is in place.
    • Inspect the Sewer Repair: Detroit plumbers are almost done with your licensed plumbing service at this stage. We may perform a second camera inspection to make sure the pipe is completely sealed where it needs to be and doesn’t require any further sewer repair. Detroit, MI homeowners will have peace of mind knowing that our licensed plumbers take care to ensure that your sewer lines are fully repaired, and we leave no room for potential issues to resurface.
    • Testing: Now that we are sure that the new pipe is ready to use and we have completed your sewer repair, Detroit's trusted plumbing team will perform a test to ensure everything is working correctly so you see how great it works now, bringing an end to your sewer service.
