Toronto Plumbers Blog: water line replacement

When you think about water line replacement, a few things will likely come to mind: for one, your lawn is probably going to be absolutely ruined. Even more burdensome will be the replacement’s toll on your bank account, you might expect. Despite all the costs, however, it’s not as if you can just live on without a functioning water line. It’s a sacrifice you, along with many other homeowners, will eventually have to make.

However, what if we told you it doesn’t have to be this way?

Advances in pipe clearing and replacement technologies have practically eliminated the need for the large-scale excavation, and save homeowners from the hassles that come with it.

Modern Line Replacement is Incredibly Efficient

When we consult with homeowners over broken water lines or other dire plumbing situations that will often occur under a variety of circumstances, we find that they are often surprised to hear that renovations can be completed in just one day. How is this possible?

Innovative trenchless technologies allow Toronto plumbing specialists to perform full water line replacements in a matter of mere hours, by eliminating the need for extensive labor and manual digging. Using advanced, subterranean techniques, these professionals can fully replace your water line pipes in a fraction of the time it takes for other methods.

Trenchless Solutions Keep Your Lawn Intact

Using epoxy Perma-liner solutions, trenchless specialists can fill in or replace subterranean sections of damaged pipe without digging the pipe out. The specialists create small, non-intrusive entry points and, by applying air pressure, line these solutions along the walls of existing pipe.

With a lengthy air bladder, specialists then cure the pipe to the inner walls, resulting in a completely restored pipe in a mere matter of hours. This completely eliminates the need for expensive pipe digging, or ‘trenching,’ while still providing quality water line replacements.

Water Line Replacement Can be Affordable on Any Budget

The elimination of digging, seamless installation process and low overhead costs all build up to one huge benefit at the end of the day: significant savings to homeowners. Not only does trenchless line replacement make sense from a practicality standpoint, but also from a financial one.

Trenchless replacement’s efficiency leads to greatly cut labor costs, just as minimal lawn digging eliminates the need for expensive landscaping. As the replacement pipe sections will last at least 50 years, trenchless renovations make sense in both the short- and long-term.

Pipe Bursting Can Expand Existing Water Line

The water line replacement technique known as pipe bursting can even improve the flow and efficiency of your existing water lines. In this method, a replacement pipe is fixed to a pointed bursting head, and fed through severely damaged pipe sections. The bursting head literally bursts through the existing pipe, and, with its expanding, conical shape, clears the resulting debris away.

This technique opens a path for the wider (and better performing) replacement pipe. It’s a “two birds with one stone” line replacement technique, which both resolves a broken pipe emergency and improves overall performance for decades to come.

Trenchless Replacement is Safer than the Alternative

As these trenchless water line replacements eliminate the need for extensive digging, there is less risk for workers to unearth harmful underground gasses, ensuring the safety of both the workers present and your family.

For trenching replacement methods, the dangers of subterranean mold and asbestos are always a major concern. Fortunately, with trenchless solutions, accidentally stumbling across a harmful mold concentration is a fear of the past.

Trenchless Water Lines Have Unbeatable Lifespans

As we’ve touched on lightly earlier in this blog, one of the main things homeowners should know about trenchless water line replacement is just how long the renovations can be expected to last. While you may think of Perma-liner, PVC replacement solutions as less reliable than other materials, this is as clear a misconception as they come.

Once installed, homeowners can expect their new pipes to last at least 50 years, and often much more. Not only are these new pipes easy to install, but they also bring with them the peace of mind homeowners look for in their plumbing.

These Solutions Can Resolve Any Kind of Damage

Before replacement installation, trenchless plumbing specialists will evaluate your water line with snaking video equipment to assess the extent and type of damage affecting your line. This is not, however, the specialist determining whether or not they can fix your pipe; this is for evaluation purposes.

In reality, trenchless solutions can resolve damages from any source, or any different type of damage. Whether your line is failing due to corrosion, root intrusion, shifting soil or fracturing, trenchless replacements can see to your line repair needs.

Trenchless Technologies Protect You From Larger, Damaging Repairs

One fact many homeowners overlook when dealing with water line damage is the effectiveness of trenchless repair methods as preventative technologies. As with any other kind of home damage and repair operation, the sooner you act, the better.

Responding quickly to water line damage and seeking out innovative trenchless repairs early can save you from much more expensive and thorough renovations down the line. When homeowners take action and handle their water line problems seriously, they can get the repairs they need at much more appropriate and affordable times.

Toronto Plumbing Specialists Can Determine Whether Replacement is Needed

Using advanced video inspection technology, plumbing specialists can determine the exact extent of damage to your home’s water line, and help you decide what repair solutions are right for you. Some damages require full pipe bursting renovations, while other call for relining or even sectional repair.

With proactive inspection, trenchless technology experts can lead you to the right solutions, before damages can worsen, and eventually cost you more repair dollars.

The Best Solutions are Available Locally

One thing many Toronto homeowners don’t consider when hiring a trenchless specialist is how important it can be to hire locally, instead opting for national or regional companies. While these companies may provide adequate solutions, they will never be as effective as those given by business based in your local community.

Local Toronto plumbing experts understand the geographical environments, weathering conditions and common plumbing systems specific to your local area, and can provide ideal solutions to meet those needs. For something as important as a working water line, you’ll want the best solutions possible; the best way to do this is to hire your local plumbing experts.

When dealing with damage to Toronto home and municipal sewer systems, many questions may come to mind about your repair options, and the preventative measures you can take to prevent future damage. With some professional help, going over your repair options and taking action against sewer damages can be much simpler.

As any pipe repair specialist will tell you, there are solutions available that provide durable, long-lasting repairs without damaging your property or affecting municipal traffic. In this blog, we’ve taken the first of these repair steps for you by outlining some little-known facts about modern sewer repair.

Sewer Repairs Can Be Done Without Digging

Recent technical innovations and technologies about have made modern sewer repair a seamless process, the most significant new development being trenchless technology. These new methods virtually eliminate the need for large-scale digging, or “trenching,” in water system, pipeline and sewer repairs. This trait, among others, makes trenchless technology far superior to traditional sewer repair methods.

Toronto homeowners and municipal sewer officials preserve both private lawns and normal traffic activity when they use trenchless technologies for sewer repairs.

Homeowners repairing their home sewer lines with trenchless technologies can avoid costly, time-consuming lawn renovations, and return to their daily lives sooner; most trenchless repairs can be completed in a span of hours. Much is the same for municipal sewer repairs. Trenchless technologies eliminate the need to stop traffic and reroute commerce, and cause the least disruption of any sewer repair method.

How is this even possible?

Modern trenchless repair methods use a technology known as cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) to reline old pipes and seal cracks, fissures and deterioration. CIPP techniques essentially use a plastic mold material, not unlike PVC, to fill in damaged areas and patches of sewer lines. These liquid Perma-Liner solutions are fed into existing sewer pipes and coat pipe walls through pressurized force. The solutions are then cured within sewer pipes, creating a form-fitting, solid and durable result.

These trenchless repairs save you from the hassles of property damage and extensive landscaping, and keep municipal traffic running smoothly despite ongoing renovations.

Trenchless Sewer Repairs Are Affordable on Any Budget

Not only are trenchless repair techniques innovative and highly effective: they’re also affordable, and can fit with almost any personal or city sewer budget. With trenchless sewer repair’s great renovation speed and efficiency, labor costs and overheads are significantly cut back, creating huge service savings for homeowners and municipal professionals alike.

Cured-in-place sewer pipe lines return on their initial investments in short time, and can last over fifty years, easily. The incredible strength of trenchless repairs limits the need for future renovations, providing peace of mind for decades to come. The savings potential for trenchless technology is clear when compared to traditional repairs, where excavations and digging can span over days of difficult, and even dangerous, labor. Conventional sewer repairs can expose underground mold and asbestos concentrations, harmful to both you and repair specialists.

Trenchless Technologies Have Broader Applications Than You May Think

Modern trenchless repair methods also serve a much wider range of applications than you may at first consider.

While trenchless professionals most commonly use their technology in sewer and pipe relining, cured-in-place pipe and trenchless techniques can also:

Provide durable lateral lining
Perform underground pipe reinstatement
Fully replace broken pipes beyond repair, with pipe bursting
Sectional pipe renovation, repairing segmented damage areas
Full water line replacement
Directional boring, which effectively installs underground pipe systems

This impressive range of trenchless applications has contributed to trenchless technology’s widespread growth in recent decades, and only encourages future innovation. The scope of damages trenchless repairs can resolve is also impressive, ranging from root and animal penetration to soil shifting and improper installation.

Cured-In-Place Pipe Can Repair Orangeburg Systems

Trenchless, cured-in-place pipe lining can also repair deteriorating and damaged Orangeburg pipe; pipe and sewer lines found commonly in homes built from 1945 to 1972. These systems were made primarily of lightweight fibers and tar paper, and because of such begin to deteriorate significantly after 30 or so years. Often, this occurs when bubbles accumulate within pipe layers, which block, deform and warp brittle Orangeburg pipes.

Fortunately, damaged Orangeburg pipes can also be repaired using trenchless technology. Much like standard sewer relining, trenchless specialists line the insides of Orangeburg pipe using advanced and dependable Perma-Liner epoxy solutions, which then cure to form new pipe structures. This solution cures any significant cracking or blockages within your Orangeburg pipes, and sets up your plumbing system for decades to come.

If you notice any home leaks, water flow blocks or even yard indentations, you may want to hire a specialist to evaluate the condition of your Orangeburg pipes. Contact the experts at Mister Plumber today for your Toronto pipe repair needs!
