Your broken drainage pipes may be swiftly repaired using trenchless sewer repair procedures, eliminating the need for the labor-intensive excavation work required by conventional methods. To put it another way, the repair process requires little to no digging, and the time it takes to get your broken pipes back into service is measured in hours, not days or weeks.Â
You won’t have to spend thousands of dollars repairing your property’s pipes or sewage lines. Innovative trenchless technologies make digging and subsequent remedial landscaping completely unnecessary. This allows for more excellent landscape preservation.
Trenchless Vs. Traditional Costs
To put things simply, the equipment and competence necessary for trenchless pipe repair will often cost slightly more than up-front dig-and-replace repairs ($80-250 per foot, as opposed to $50-250), which is why the cost of trenchless pipe repair is typically marginally more expensive.
Dig-and-replace repairs typically have an average cost range of between $4,000 and $13,000, while trenchless pipe repairs usually have an average cost range of between $6,000 and $12,000. (the more extensive cost range accounting for manual digging, depth, and pipe location).
However, if there are streets, utilities, sidewalks, or roads above the damaged pipe, this cost might increase by up to two times. Traditional pipe repair for a single job may cost as much as $25,000 or even more, depending on whether or not these ground-level fittings need to be replaced or restored. Because digging is no longer required in these situations, trenchless professionals can thoroughly repair or replace your broken pipe without excavating an extra inch or more of soil than is necessary. The cost of trenchless repair is the same in these situations.Â
When repairing pipes, the most costly components are not the equipment or materials employed; instead, the uprooting, landscaping, and grass damage always follow.
