There are several methods that can be used to repair a sewer pipe, including the following:
- Pipe lining: This involves inserting a flexible lining into the existing sewer pipe and inflating it. The lining hardens and forms a new, smooth surface inside the pipe, sealing any cracks or leaks.
- Pipe bursting: This involves inserting a new pipe through the existing sewer pipe, using a special machine to break up and remove the old pipe as it goes.
- Pipe patching: This involves cutting out the damaged section of the sewer pipe and replacing it with a patch or new piece of pipe.
- Pipe relining: This involves creating a new pipe inside the existing sewer pipe using a special machine that extrudes a liner made of epoxy or other material.
The method that is best for repairing a sewer pipe will depend on the location and extent of the damage, as well as the condition of the existing pipe. It is recommended to call Sherlock Drain Cleaning (208)-550-6296 to assess the damage and recommend the most appropriate repair method.
