Sewer Line Repair or Replacement San Francisco.

For years, the only real way to replace or repair damaged sewer lines in San Francisco was to dig a deep trench to show the whole length of the sewer line.

The old pipe needed to be dug up, removed and dropped and lengths of new pipe had to be laid in place and joined together with couplungs with a maximum of 10ft lengths for cast iron pipe, which is what is used for San Francisco sewer line repairs. Magic Plumbing San Francisco uses the Trenchless repair method. Trenchless techniques need small excavations and replaces pipes without major excavating providing less environmental impact. Magic Plumbing uses the Pipe Bursting system to replace old pipe sections to replace underground pipe lengths.

The Magic Plumbing San Francisco technique of Pipe Bursting For Pipe Replacement is non-invasive and needs only two small excavations to provide access to the damaged pipes below the ground. Using the old damaged sewer line as our guide, our hydraulic pipe bursting ram pulls full sized, replacement pipe without seems through the old pipe while breaking up the old damaged pipe in the method. Once the sewer replacement job is completed, the two excavations can be quickly backfilled, little evidence that any work was done. The new HDPE pipe has a survival expectation of up to 100 years. And since the pipe is continual, it is immune to leaks, breaks or root intrusion.

Well, trenchless sewer line replacement is now a way of the future. The old way of replacing a sewer drain is to dig up the old pipe, by hand or with a machine, and install in a new one. This way is very labor intensive and can be very expensive when a line is in a difficult position, such as under a house, a road or under concrete.

The trenchless replacement technology saves money, grief and time and is particularly efficient when the sewer drain is under a house.

So how does trenchless sewer replacement work?

Using this new sewer pipe replacement method we excavate a hole at the building where the good pipe begins and we then excavete a small hole at the end of the sewer pipe near the curb at the street. We expose the sewer drain in each hole and cut out small sections of pipe. Next, we feed a large 3/4 inch steel cable between the two excavations. connected to this cable is a large metal cone shaped head that breaks the old pipe in place to exactly the size of the new trenchless sewer pipe. The new sewer drain is actually a black plastic pipe between 5 or 7 inches in diameter. This sewer drain is fused together by melting the ends of the pipe and joining them to create one continuous length of sewer drain without any joints, eliminating tree roots from entering the pipe.

As we pull the cable through the sewer drain with 10 tons of pressure, the splitting head bursts the old sewer drain and pushes it out of the way making room for the new sewer drain.

The actual replacement of the sewer drain usually only takes a few hours and the work can be done within one day. There is no problem pulling through under driveways or even residential and commercial buildings. This trenchless replacement technology works well and because the new sewer drain has no joints, is flexible so it will never crack or break and no roots can get into it.

The new sewer drain also called HDPE pipe is very smooth internally so the drain is very efficient for water, debris and toilet solids to flow freely.
