Think for a second: do you know how old your sewer is? When is the last time you had a drain cleaning? If you don’t know the answers to these questions, then your home could be at risk. Sewers that are 40 years old or more are at high risk for breaking and might need replacing.
Once a sewer breaks, the repair costs can be staggering. Drain cleaning and repairing broken sewers can often involve destroying parts of houses, yards, or driveways. What’s more, traditional drain cleaning and sewer repair often result in the same problems occurring every five to ten years. If you stay ahead on your sewer maintenance and drain cleaning, you can protect your home and save money in the process.
In a recent poll, 73% of homeowners reported that they would gladly pay more for sewer repairs or drain cleaning if it meant they would not have to damage their landscaping or other outdoor features. The only way to do this is through the use of a new sewer repair method: trenchless pipe repair.
Trenchless Pipe Repair and Drain Cleaning
Although trenchless pipe repair and drain cleaning have been around for over 15 years, most homeowners are unaware of these processes. In fact, a recent Angie’s List survey showed that 78% of homeowners had not heard of “no dig” drain cleaning or trenchless pipe repair.
Trenchless drain cleaning and sewer repair involves making just two small access holes at either end of sewer pipelines. Compared with traditional methods, trenchless sewer replacement and drain cleaning are cleaner, safer, and can save homeowners up to 40% of the cost of traditional sewer replacement.
Not only are trenchless drain cleaning methods cheaper, but they also last longer: pipes and sewers repaired with trenchless methods last over 100 years and can resist roots and chemical decomposition.
