Sewer Line Replacement in Dallas
Traditional Sewer Line Repair Method
The traditional method for repairing a damaged sewer line is to dig up the line to expose any sections that might be damaged, corroded, or broken. This digging process is typically done by backhoe or with heavy duty machinery depending on how deep the line is buried. For instance, homes with basements will have sewer lines that are buried much deeper than homes on slab foundations. So we will dig holes every 3 feet along the slab to determine the extent of the damage, and then tunnel through underneath the holes to replace the pipes. This is a cost effective way of dealing with a Sewer Line Repair in Dallas, Tx underneath a slab.
Other options for repairing the line will might include removing and replacing the entire main sewer line or cutting away and replacing a small section. Typically this is known as re-routing. A large majority of homes in Texas have plumbing systems that were built in the mid 1900s which means their sewer lines are likely made up of Cast Iron, which breaks down about 40 to 50 years after installation. Depending on the location, or extent of damage of your sewer line, we can dig a trench that stays primarily outside of your home, and replace all old material with brand new PVC piping. This would ensure the cost effectiveness, as well as the understanding that your homes Sewer Line with remain functioning properly for decades to come!
Regardless of where we dig or excavate, we will always restore the trenched area back to its original state before any work was done!
