Whether it's in the sink or in the shower, we've all experienced stubborn drains that just won't unclog. Maybe the drain is partially stopped up, and water seems to just be pooling, or perhaps if you left the faucet running long enough, water would certainly fill up the sink or the shower, and eventually overflow onto the floor.

OK, let's clear up the confusing terminology before we get ahead of ourselves here. When we say "sewer lateral" all we mean is the underground pipe that connects a a building to the sewer line. Simple enough, right?

When you're having major issues with your sewer lines (perhaps not even for the first time), there's always that little urge at the back of your head to replace the pipes. They've given you enough issues and pains, and they're not worth fixing anymore, right?

Sewer pipe lining is a really nifty thing. At least, we think so—we like it enough to do it. It’s one of the most amazing things to ever happen to our field. Instead of performing a vast amount of work for what should have always been a simple procedure, now we can, in fact, use a simple procedure to repair what used to take days—sometimes even weeks!

No one likes costly repairs, but sometimes they are necessary—especially when it comes to your sewer lines. It’s terrible, it’s smelly, and worst of all, it usually requires digging. It’s even worse when it happens to the public sewer lines. Imagine a burst at the busiest intersection in town—talk about a rush hour that stinks! Luckily, with manhole-to-manhole trenchless sewer repair there’s no longer a need to dig or to reroute traffic. You can get that rush hour back to smelling like roses (or at least as close to roses as a roadway’s going to get) by lining your pipes using our techniques. How Manhole-to-Manhole Lining Works? To line a sewer using our trenchless technology, it’s pretty simple. Instead of digging in and replacing the entire section of sewer system, we close off the section of sewer that we’re repairing, bypass the sewage back into the sewer at a point further down (which makes sure the service is uninterrupted), and get to work. We go into the sewer, after it's empty, and invert a liner filled with resin into the drain from one end to the other. After that, we circulate hot water or steam into this resin which, after reaching a certain temperature, begins the curing process. It will set into place relatively quickly (around 2 to 4 hours), after which we would then finish the process and open the sewer back up. The liner is rated for 50 years, which is a long interval considering that none of the pipe is replaced.

In many of our blog posts as well as our dedicated CCTV webpage we’ve discussed the many benefits of sewer TV inspection. Just to recap, here are but a few:

A cost-effective and more practical alternative to sewer replacement, the trenchless cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) point repair method provides structural restoration without digging into the existing pipeline. A jointless technique of renovation, point repair improves flow qualities, and completely eliminates infiltration or exfiltration at the repair location. Point repairs can be installed in pipe diameters from 6 inches to 54 inches and lengths from 2 feet to 30 feet.
