Over time, sewer lines can deteriorate due to age, leading to cracks, collapses, corrosion, leaks, and blockages. Shifting soil and invasive tree roots can also cause significant damage to underground pipes. Fortunately, full excavation isn’t always necessary. At Midwest Excavating, Inc., we offer advanced Magna homeowners and businesses trenchless sewer repair solutions—including pipe lining and pipe bursting—to restore your system without tearing up your property.
Unlike traditional methods that involve large-scale digging, trenchless technology requires only minimal excavation. That means your yard, driveway, deck, floors, sidewalks, and trees remain largely undisturbed.
Benefits of trenchless sewer line repair:
If you’re looking for a fast, low-impact solution to damaged sewer lines on your Magna residential or commercial property, our trenchless pipe relining service is an excellent option. Rather than replacing the entire line, we reinforce it from within using a durable epoxy liner—no digging required. This method extends the life of your sewer system while keeping your landscaping and hardscaping intact.
Here’s the process:
Sewer Camera Inspection – We begin with a high-resolution camera inspection to pinpoint the issue and determine whether repair or full replacement is needed.
Thorough Line Cleaning – The existing sewer line is cleaned to remove debris, mineral buildup, and invasive roots, ensuring a smooth surface for relining.
Epoxy Liner Installation – A seamless, high-strength epoxy liner is inserted into the pipe, inflated with a bladder, and left to cure—creating a new pipe inside the old one.
Bladder Removal Once – cured, the bladder is removed, leaving behind a solid, impenetrable “pipe within a pipe” that restores full functionality to your sewer line.
For homeowners and businesses in Magna, trenchless pipe bursting offers a highly effective way to repair sewer lines while preserving the integrity of your property. This method eliminates the need for extensive excavation by using hydraulic equipment to fracture the existing pipe and simultaneously pull a new pipe into place.
The process involves digging two small access pits—one at each end of the damaged pipe. A cone-shaped bursting head is inserted into the old pipe, which is then broken apart as the new pipe is drawn through. This technique relies on advanced pneumatic or hydraulic systems to rupture the old line and install the replacement pipe seamlessly from the receiving pit to the launching pit.
Unlike pipe relining, which reduces the internal diameter of your sewer line, pipe bursting typically results in a new pipe with a larger diameter than the original. This makes it a superior choice for improving flow capacity. Additionally, the minimal digging required makes it ideal for properties with extensive concrete, hardscaping, or landscaping features that would otherwise be disrupted by traditional excavation.
