Why Do Sewer Lines Collapse?

• Tree roots can grow into pipes, especially those from older, well-established trees. Roots can weaken sewer lines, leading to eventual collapse.
• Products you should refrain from flushing down the toilet, such as paper towels, can become lodged in roots and clog the pipe. Keep hair, grease, hygiene items, and non-flushable paper products out of the toilet to avoid clogs in your sewer line.
• Old pipes are more likely to crack or collapse. If your sewer line is over 50 years old, it may consist of Orangeburg, a material made of tar and layers of wood pulp. The shape of Orangeburg pipes can change under pressure. They also can absorb moisture and disintegrate.

Understanding Trenchless Pipe Bursting

Trenchless pipe bursting is a cost-effective alternative to traditional pipe replacement that does not necessitate extensive trench digging. The process is remarkably seamless.

Here is how it works: Our Gillette Services - Plumbing, Heating & Air professionals will dig two small pits at both ends of the pipe’s location. Then, we will use a winch to pull a cable with an attached expander head through your sewer line.

The expander head navigates through your underground pipe, breaking it apart with the pieces pushed to the side. Simultaneously, new piping is added, ensuring a seamless transition from old to new. The replacement process doesn’t require digging up your yard, preserving your landscaping—and sanity!.
