So much work goes into landscaping around a home to make it look beautiful, and if you have any problems with the piping and sewer lines underground, it can cause a real problem with the landscaping. With most older sewer systems, digging them up is the only way to get in and repair them but this can be a big hassle for your yard.
With newer age technology, a whole new method of sewer line repair has become common. Today, many people are using professional trenchless systems and repair means so they do not have to dig up the yard. At Ben Franklin Plumbing in Chicago, sewer repair has never been easier.
Trenchless sewer repair is cost effective and quick
Trenchless sewer repair is fast, cost effective and much easier than traditional ways of fixing any problems that arise with sewer lines. It basically works by pushing a video camera into the line to see what the problem is. Sometimes, they may find cracks, clogs or tree roots breaking into the roots. Once the problem is established, the professionals then can continue with the fixing of the issues.
Four methods can be used that avoid the need for trenches
There are four methods of sewer repair that Ben Franklin Plumbing offers in Chicago. These are mechanical drain cleaners and cable machines, hydro-jetters and pipe bursting. These are all trenchless fixes for your sewer lines, meaning the landscaping will be untouched and beautiful, like always.
If a mechanical drain cleaner is sent in, a rotating spring will clear the obstruction or blockage. If it’s a hydro-jetter that fixes the problem, water is sprayed at high pressure all around in the pipes to clean them. If the pipe bursting method is used, the buried pipelines are really replaced, causing the broken lines to become obsolete and the new ones to take over past jobs.
Your yard will be mostly protected from damage
With these trenchless sewer repair techniques, your yard will be just the same as before. All that is dug is a small whole in an empty area leading to one of the pipes in question. From this point, it is easy to work through the rest of the piping and work from this one area. Your flowerbeds, trees, bushes and grass will never change.
