Sewer Line Replacement

Cost-Effective Solutions for Sewer Line Problems

AAA Sewer Service uses pipe busting and relining for trenchless sewer line replacements. Replacing a sewer line can be a time-consuming and expensive project. But that doesn’t always have to be the case. At AAA Sewer Service, our trenchless piping can get the job done more efficiently and minimize the damage to your landscaping and yard.

AAA Sewer Service trenchless methods of replacing your sewer line:

1. Bursting system
2. Relining system

Bursting System

Modern technology means no more digging up your entire yard to replace the sewer line. With the bursting method, we locate the sewer line and dig a small hole at your house and city main. Next, we pull a cable through the existing pipe. In the first hole, we attach a bursting cone to the cable and attach the new pipe (HDPE) behind the cone.

In the second hole, we put a hydraulic unit that grabs the cable pulling the cones into the existing pipe and bursts the old pipe out of the way, and pull the new pipe in. We continue this procedure until the new pipe is pulled all the way through.

Then the connections are made and you have a new sewer line. The holes are filled in, because they are normally small holes, we can put the yard back together as if no one had even been there. Pipe Bursting replaces the old pipe with a completely new pipe.

Relining System

Pipe relining, or cured in place, is a method of rehabilitating existing pipe. The pipe is cleaned, preparing for the new liner. The liner is a fabric with a PVC shell that is filled with resin. The liner is loaded into pressurized tank and then shot down the sewer pipe.

Next, a balloon is shot inside the liner and expanded where it is held until the resin has cured. Once the resin has cured, the balloon is deflated and removed, giving you a refurbished sewer line. The resin is 3 to 4 millimeters thick, so it does not reduce the inside diameter of the pipe very much.

One advantage of relining is it only requires one hole. Pipe bursting replaces the old pipe with a completely new pipe, thicker than the scheduled 40 plastic pipe. With relining, you are rehabilitating the existing pipe, though the type of host pipe and what kind of shape it is in will determine how good of liner you are getting.

Our preference is to use the pipe busting method, but each has its advantages.
