If your sewer lines are leaking or cracked, excavating isn’t always necessary. Midwest Excavating, Inc offers trenchless sewer repair services to South Salt Lake homeowners and businesses, including pipe lining and pipe bursting.
Traditional: Requires extensive excavation, disrupting landscaping and structures
Trenchless: Minimal digging, preserving your property
Pipe Lining: Inserts a resin-coated liner into the damaged pipe, which hardens to form a new pipe inside the old one
Pipe Bursting: Breaks the old pipe while pulling a new one into place
If you’re seeking an efficient and less disruptive fix for for damaged sewer lines on your South Salt Lake residential or commercial property, consider our trenchless sewer pipe relining service. Instead of replacing your entire sewer line, we can repair it from the inside using a durable liner. This method reinforces your existing pipe without requiring excavation, extending the lifespan of your sewer system. Here’s how that works:
Sewer camera inspection – A sewer camera inspection is performed to verify if the problem in your sewer line requires repair or replacement, and where the problem is located.
Sewer line cleaning – The existing sewer line is cleaned and cleared of debris, hard scale build up and root intrusion.
Pipe relining installed – A seamless, impenetrable epoxy liner is pulled into the sewer line, inflated with a bladder, and left to cure.
Bladder removed – After curing, the bladder is removed leaving behind a structural “pipe within a pipe” that has provided you with a new sewer line.
There’s another method we employ to repair sewer lines for South Salt Lake homeowners and businesses that also keeps properties mostly intact. Trenchless pipe bursting takes a different route to repairing sewer lines, also without digging up your yard. We use hydraulic equipment to break apart the old pipe while pulling a new pipe into place.
In simple terms, trenchless bursting is done by digging two pits, shoving a cone-shaped head down inside and exploding the existing pipe away from the new main sewer lines. It requires complex tech in the pneumatic rupturing system which can also be hydraulic. Our crew pushes the system from the receiving to the launching pits.
Pipe bursting has one decided advantage over pipe relining. During pipe relining, the diameter of your sewage line become smaller. In contrast, the pipe bursting methods typically results in a sewer line greater in diameter than the original pipe. The small amount of digging needed for trenchless pipe bursting makes this technique ideal for properties that have considerable concrete, hardscaping and other landscape features that run over sewer lines.
