REPAIR OPTIONS

Match the repair to the damaged section.

The appropriate method depends on location, pipe material, depth, access, structural condition and whether the entire lateral or only one section is affected.

  • Localized excavation and pipe replacement
  • Longer lateral replacement where deterioration is extensive
  • Relining where conditions and geometry are suitable
  • Pipe bursting where access and site conditions allow

FAQ

Clear answers before the next step.

Do all sewer cracks require full replacement?

No. The repair depends on severity, length, location and whether the remaining pipe is serviceable.

Is trenchless repair always possible?

No. Pipe condition, bends, offsets, access, diameter and connections determine whether relining or pipe bursting is suitable.

Can roots be removed without repair?

Roots can often be cleared temporarily, but repeated intrusion usually indicates a joint or pipe defect that should be assessed.
