The Knoxville plumbing and sewer line repair experts at Mr. Rooter Plumbing can evaluate your sewer pipe cracks and problems. While your home layout and sewer system are unique, there could be some basic problems that we are able to address with repairs.
These generally include the following:
Pipe relining: Through this process, we’ll provide you with new pipes from the inside out. We are able to also line existing sewer pipes with a kind of “sleeve” to prevent pipe cracks. First, we’ll clean out the pipe, then apply the lining, that'll harden in only a few hours.
Bursting: If your sewer pipe is simply too damaged, we might have to pull a brand new sewer pipe through the hold one. This method will use hydraulics to further break apart the damaged old one and replace it seamlessly with a new pipe.
Preventive maintenance: Lastly, it's important to help prevent sewer line damage from occurring to begin with. With regular inspections and drain cleaning services, you are able to keep major debris and buildup from your pipes and steer clear of cracks, clogs, or bursts.
