Trenchless Services: Repair or Replace?

Modern trenchless technology offers property owners a range of options for sewer line projects. One of the first questions clients often ask is whether it’s better to repair a faulty line or replace it altogether. Having a lot of experience dealing with all types of pipe restoration services, allow us at Nu Flow South Pacific to offer our expertise.

Minor versus Major Damage

The biggest factor in deciding whether to repair or replace a malfunctioning pipeline is the extent of the damage. Pipes that have small cracks or limited separation between sections are usually good candidates for relining or localized pipe rehabilitation. Corroded or collapsed lines generally need complete replacement.

Flow Gradient Issues

A pipe that has settled and that is no longer capable of gravity-enabled flow is just one step away from a major backup. This situation usually requires complete pipe replacement instead of emergency pipe repair. Simple replacement procedures are enough to restore the system’s peak performance.

Pipeline Age

A properly installed sewer line has an expected service life of up to 50 years. Unless an older pipeline is in exceptionally good condition for its age, total replacement rather than limited drain pipe repair work is generally the preferred response when damage is detected.

Our Evaluation Methods

Prior to making any recommendation on whether to repair or replace your property’s sewer line, our team will conduct a thorough inspection of the system using a waterproof camera that travels through the line. We’ll then go over the results with you in detail so that you have all the information you need to make an informed choice.
