What is Trenchless Pipe Repair? (And Why Avoid the Dig?)

Traditional pipe repair involves digging a large trench along the path of the damaged pipe to access and replace it. This process is often:

•  Destructive: Ruining lawns, gardens, driveways, and patios.
•  Time-Consuming: Taking days or even weeks to complete.
•  Costly: Including significant expenses for excavation and property restoration.
  

Trenchless Technology avoids these problems by repairing or replacing pipes underground through small access points. It's a minimally invasive approach that protects your property and gets your plumbing back in working order much faster.

Our Trenchless Solutions: The Right Fix for Your Pipes

Midway Plumbing utilizes two primary trenchless methods, chosen based on a thorough camera inspection of your pipes:

1. Cured-in-Place Pipe (CIPP) Lining:

•  What it is: Think of it as creating a brand-new, seamless pipe inside your existing damaged one.
•  How it works:

1. Inspection & Cleaning: We use a camera to inspect the pipe and clean out any debris or roots.
2. Liner Insertion: A flexible, resin-saturated liner is inserted into the old pipe through an access point.
3. Curing: The liner is inflated, pressing against the old pipe walls. Heat or ambient air cures the resin, hardening it into a strong, durable new pipe.
4. Final Inspection: We verify the new pipe is perfectly installed and ready for service.

•  Best for: Repairing cracks, sealing leaks, stopping root intrusion, and reinforcing aging pipes that are otherwise structurally sound.
  

2. Pipe Bursting:

•  What it is: This method simultaneously breaks apart the old, damaged pipe while pulling a brand-new pipe into its place.
•  How it works:

1. Access Points: Small entry and exit points are created.
2. Bursting Head: A specialized bursting head is guided through the old pipe, fracturing it outwards.
3. New Pipe Installation: A new, high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe is attached to the bursting head and pulled into place as the old pipe is broken apart.
4. Connections & Inspection: The new pipe is connected, and the system is inspected.

•  Best for: Severely damaged, collapsed, or offset pipes that require complete replacement. It can sometimes be used to upsize the pipe diameter if needed.

Understanding Trenchless Service Costs

The cost of trenchless pipe repair or replacement depends on several factors:

•  The length and diameter of the pipe being repaired/replaced.
•  The specific method used (CIPP Lining vs. Pipe Bursting).
•  The accessibility of the pipe.
•  The severity of the damage.

While trenchless might sometimes have a higher initial cost than just the digging part of traditional repair, it almost always offers better overall value when you factor in the elimination of extensive excavation and restoration costs. We provide clear, upfront estimates after a thorough inspection and offer flexible financing options to make necessary repairs more manageable.
