FAQs
What is trenchless sewer repair and how does it work?
Trenchless sewer repair is a modern technique that rehabilitates or replaces underground sewer lines without the need for large, disruptive trenches. In Gruetli-Laager, we most often use two methods: pipe lining (CIPP) and pipe bursting. With pipe lining, a resin-saturated liner is inserted into the damaged pipe and cured in place to create a new, seamless inner wall. With pipe bursting, we pull a new HDPE pipe through the old line while simultaneously fracturing the existing pipe outward. Both options restore full flow capacity, seal leaks, and meet current plumbing codesâusually from a single small access pit.
When should I call for emergency trenchless sewer service in Gruetli-Laager?
Contact us immediately if you notice sewage backing up into drains, gurgling toilets, foul odors in or around your home, sudden soggy spots in the yard, or if multiple fixtures are draining slowly at once. These symptoms often signal a severe break or blockage that canât wait for normal business hours. Because raw sewage poses health risks and can quickly damage property, our team is on call 24/7 to dispatch a fully stocked truck and perform on-the-spot diagnostics with video inspection equipment.
What are the benefits of trenchless sewer repair compared with traditional open-cut excavation?
⢠Minimal landscape disruptionâyour lawn, driveway, and mature trees remain intact. ⢠Faster completionâmost repairs are finished in one day, not several. ⢠Lower overall restoration costsâno need to re-pour concrete or replace landscaping. ⢠Longer service lifeânew liners and HDPE pipes are rated for 50+ years and resist root intrusion and corrosion. ⢠Environmentally friendlyâless soil displacement and reduced risk of contaminant runoff. ⢠Code-compliantâmeets or exceeds Tennessee plumbing and EPA standards.
How long does a typical trenchless sewer repair take, and will it disrupt my daily routine?
After the initial camera inspection (about one hour), the actual trenchless repair usually takes 3â6 hours. Because we only need one or two small access points, youâll still be able to move around your property, and utilities like water and electricity stay on until we are ready to cure or pull the new pipe. We schedule work in advance whenever possible, but for emergencies we can mobilize immediately and often have your system flowing again the same day.
Is trenchless sewer repair more expensive, and will my homeownerâs insurance cover it?
The up-front price of trenchless repair can be slightly higher than conventional digging, but when you factor in restoration costs (landscaping, concrete, asphalt, etc.) it is usually the more economical choice. For most single-family homes in Gruetli-Laager, trenchless repair ranges from $90â$180 per linear foot, depending on pipe size and depth. Many homeowner policies will pay for sudden and accidental pipe damage that occurs outside the foundation; weâre happy to provide detailed documentation and work directly with your adjuster to maximize reimbursement.
