Sewer lines deteriorate due to age resulting in breakages, cracks, collapsing, corrosion, leaks, and build up. You might also experience the ground shifting or have trees with large roots that can damage your sewer line. Excavating your sewer lines isn’t always necessary. Midwest Excavating, Inc offers trenchless sewer repair services to Provo homeowners and businesses, including pipe lining and pipe bursting.
Unlike traditional methods that require extensive excavation, trenchless techniques utilize minimal digging. That means your deck, driveway, floors, sidewalks, trees and yard are left mostly untouched. Advantages of trenchless sewer line repair include:
If you’re looking for a fast, low-impact solution to damaged sewer lines on your Provo 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 Provo, 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.
