If Your Sewer Pipes Are More Than 40 Years Old, You Should Consider This Replacement Method
July 29, 2015 in Trenchless Pipe RepairRepair your home’s sewage system is quite an undertaking — especially if you use the conventional method mostly used today. Under the conventional method, repair crews have to dig up large trenches in your front- or backyard in order to access the sewer lines directly. This causes serious damage to the lawn and anything on it — decks, patios, gardens, sheds, etc. As a result, homeowners often have to pay for restoration on top of the actual work on the pipes. Needless to say, this is not something most homeowners want to do but do so anyway because they have no choice.
