You Can Repair or Replace Water, Drain or Sewer Pipes Without Destroying Your Landscaping, Driveway, or Patio!

Homes built before 1999 typically have a cast iron or clay pipe sewer drain line. Cast iron, clay and “orangeburg” pipes eventually become compromised due to decay, tree root invasion or settling earth and need to be repaired or replaced before a major leak or a sewage backup occurs.

Traditional pipe repair/replace methods often require heavy-duty equipment, huge piles of dirt from digging big trenches, and ripping up your landscaping, driveway, patio, floors or walls. When completed, contractors may patch the street-cut, replace sidewalks, rough-grade and even deliver topsoil, but you’ll still have to “restore” your property. That can be very costly!

Two options can minimize the damages caused by traditional digging methods, save you thousands of dollars and be completed in as little as one day

1. No Dig – No Damage! Insert a hard-cast lining in your existing line or bore a new line underground from the street to the house.

2. Minimal Dig – Minimal Damage. Only small holes are dug to access the pipe so specialized equipment can pull a new sewer line through existing cast iron or clay pipe.

When Is No Dig- No Damage NOT the Best Solution?

When the sewer line is fully collapsed due to root intrusion or is improperly pitched. Tree roots are the warning sign!

Once your sewer line is compromised, over time it will get worse, eventually collapsing. Taking action when you first experience tree roots before the line collapses will save money, frustration and inconvenience of traditional Dig & Damage solution!

One of the most common plumbing issues we see are pipe blockages caused by tree root intrusion. If pipes have any leaks, or even tiny cracks, that creates the perfect conditions as tree roots seek out moisture and fertile soil (sewer pipes!). Pipes with seams are also at risk for root invasion. Many older homes in our area have clay or cast iron drain pipes, with especially vulnerable mortar or lead-filled joints.

Once the roots intrude into the sewer line, they GROW inside the pipes. This causes slower liquid flow, pipe damage or collapse, and eventually messy sewage backups into the house. Lucky home owners hear a gurgle, unlucky home owners come home to a real mess! How lucky are you?

Some signs of root intrusion:

1. Slow or clogged drains

2. Gurgling sounds

3. Soft, spongy or unexpected green patches in your yard

4. Foul odors (rotten eggs or sulphur)

Many homeowners don’t realize that having your main drain line “rooted” every year or two isn’t normal. Even when roots are cut up and removed, they’ll be back – for sure! The integrity of the drain line is compromised. Liquids will leach into the ground causing additional soil settling, major slumping and eventually collapse of the drain line. Once it collapses, that often means expensive trenching of a new line and weeks for your lawn to recover. If you attend to the issue early, there are options such as pulling a new “one-piece” line right though the existing pipe without destroying your landscape!

If you suspect trees are invading your pipes, have a licensed plumber perform a video camera inspection of your sewer drain system. Pronto Plumbing & Drain offers this complimentary service as well as free second opinions on sewer repair and replacement.
