Sewer Repair Methods for Kansas Property Owners
Sewer repairs can be costly and time-consuming for property owners in Kansas, including Manhattan, Topeka, Wichita, Salina, and Lawrence. Signs of sewer issues include non-functioning bathrooms, unusual noises, strange odors, and puddles of raw sewage. In severe cases, sewage may enter homes through toilets, faucets, or drains, posing health risks to humans and pets and potentially contaminating drinking water.
In a sewage-related crisis, it's vital to resolve the issue quickly and cost-effectively. Property owners should be aware of the available methods for sewer repair.
The Traditional Excavation Method
Plumbing contractors often use traditional excavation methods, which involve digging large trenches to access sewer pipelines, potentially damaging lawns, trees, driveways, and patios. After repairs, property owners must restore the landscaping and hardscaping, as this is not the contractor's responsibility, leading them to hire additional help or do the work themselves.
Trenchless Sewer Repair Method
Trenchless sewer repair utilizes advanced technology to fix pipelines without extensive excavation.
Pipe Repair Results
This method is used when the existing pipeline is in good condition. A small access hole is created, and a machine applies wet epoxy resin to the interior, curing it to form a new liner. Trenchless pipe lining seals cracks and leaks, with the new liner lasting at least fifty years. The process is quick, usually completed in one day, and is about fifty percent more cost-effective than traditional excavation.
