Trenchless pipe repairs are often the most economical choice for property owners when repairing damaged pipes. Occasionally, pipe damage is so catastrophic that, excavation and replacement is required. Less-invasive options are available for smaller scale issues that are found early. Less invasive repairs are ideal for reducing disruption to your business and minimizing cost.

Avoiding Sewer System Failures

Property owners and managers should expect issues and weaknesses in their stormwater system. Regularly inspecting and maintaining these systems prolongs the life of the assets and uncovers minor repairs before they develop into a larger issue. When issues are found it is best to proactively repair before failures compound. Appropriately repairing minor failures prevents safety hazards, notices of violation and saves money. 

Common Failures:

  • Clogged Pipes 
  • Corroded Pipes 
  • Broken or Cracked Lines 
  • Root Infiltration 
  • Overflowed Sanitary System 
  • Mechanical Malfunctioning 
  • Joint Separation 
  • Grouting Deterioration or Failure 

There are a variety of pipe materials and sizes. The type of pipe chosen for your property was decided because of cost and expected flow. The sizing and material is different across the country and depending on what was common installation practice at the time.  In most cases concrete pipe is chosen but corrugated metal is still utilized in construction installation everywhere. 

Innovations in pipelining and underground infrastructure over time have led to a variety of options for pipelines. Pipes are made of a variety of materials ranging from corrugated metal pipe (CMP), Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), Reinforced Concrete Pipe (RCP), High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) or High-Density Polypropylene (HDPP). Each of these pipes have varying life expectancies, ranging from 20 years to 100 years. 

The type of repair chosen for the failure is dependent on the extent of the damage. If your pipelines were installed 80 years ago and need to be replaced, small repairs can be performed while you budget for full replacement. 

Underground infrastructure has an expected life span ranging from 50-100 years. With quality materials and regular maintenance, your infrastructure will function for the expected time and potentially longer. However, without regular maintenance and occasional repairs, your system will fail before the expected lifespan.
