Severe plumbing issues often need re-piping or a full replacement. Fortunately, advancement in sewer repair tech in recent years has significantly led to modern trenchless sewer replacement methods. Unlike digging up the lawn to replace pipes, trenchless methods use minimally invasive techniques to repair underground pipes. Vietzke Trenchless shares the following tips to help you prepare for the repair process:
Expect to Be Without Running Water
Since the sewer access and the water supply will be on hold during trenchless pipe lining in Spokane, WA, you should consider having a backup plan. For instance, you may take your family members to live with a relative or even book a hotel during the plumbing activities until the work is complete. However, this may depend on the severity of the repair since some jobs may only take a few hours.
Remove Possible Obstructions
Typically, a professional must access the affected pipes before trenchless pipe repair. Therefore, you should remove anything directly above the sewer line to facilitate access to the system.
Clear Clogs
Before our team arrives for trenchless sewer repair, we usually advise homeowners to clear any clogged drains in their residences. If you are dealing with a particularly serious clog, consider scheduling a separate drain cleaning appointment with us to ensure quality and professionalism.
Check Local Codes
Knowing your area's local codes regarding the trenchless methods and whether the system may need additional modifications before scheduling a trenchless sewer replacement is essential.
Handle Any Worrying Structural Issues
If a sewer line contains breaks or other serious structural flaws, a plumber should start by addressing these issues before undertaking the trenchless repair. This enhances the effectiveness of the trenchless pipe replacement service.
