The Plumbing has been in business since 1978

Your entire plumbing system leads to the same place – the sewer line, which plays a vital role in carrying waste from your home, all the way to the nearest treatment plant. The California Plumbing Code requires that your sewer lines are buried at least 12 inches into the ground. Since the sewer line lays below your property and isn’t visible to the eye, establishing the cause and exact location of the problem cannot be done without professional assistance. 

Fortunately, here at VIP Sewer and Drain services, our well equipped and knowledgeable professionals have the necessary skill and experience that allows for a much quicker and smoother process of fixing a sewer line than traditional methods used in the past. 

Warning Signs of a  Damaged Sewer Line

Sewer line problems are often accompanied by gurgling noises, slow drains, unpleasant odors, sudden lush, green patches in your lawn and/or a backed up clean out. Water backing up out of your fixtures is another telltale sign of a clogged or damaged sewer line. If your main sewer line is clogged, water coming down from one fixture won’t be able to pass down through the sewer line, and will come back up through the next available opening – another fixture right inside your home. 

A damaged sewer line can quickly create very costly and complicated problems, therefore if you have recognized any of these symptoms it is crucial to act quickly to prevent further damage.  

Sewer Line Repair and Replacement Methods

Here at VIP Sewer and Drain Services, we like to stay on top of innovative plumbing solutions that allow us to tackle the toughest problems and provide the best solutions. Some of the sewer line repair and replacement methods we use include:

Pipe-Lining – Pipe-lining is essentially, placing a new pipe inside an old pipe. This is done by cleaning out the old pipe of any debri, inserting a liner that adheres to its inner walls and saturating it with an epoxy mix that then cures and becomes your new pipe.  

Epoxy Brush Coating – Epoxy brush coating is a new method of restoring and rehabilitation for sewer lines and drain pipes. Similarly to pipe-lining, epoxy brush coating works by applying an even coat to the inside of your walls to cover and fill any pinholes, cracks and corrosion. This is an alternative to pipe replacement, extending the life of the lines currently in your plumbing system.

Hydro Jetting – Hydro Jetting is a safe, effective and economical method of clearing out a clogged pipe – one we highly recommend. It does two jobs in one, unclogging and cleaning your pipe which helps tremendously in the upkeep and maintenance of your plumbing system. 

Pipe Bursting – Pipe bursting is a trenchless method of completely replacing buried pipelines. It entails the bursting of your old pipe in small pieces, removing it and inserting a brand new pipe in its place. All without the cost and hassle of digging.

Trenchless Pipe ReplacementTrenchless sewer repair is a less invasive option to repairing common sewer line problems than traditional sewer repair. With traditional sewer repair, there is much digging and excavation to remove broken and cracked pipes and replace them. This can often destroy landscaping, driveways, and other structures. Traditional sewer repair creates needless debris and introduces contaminated waste into landfills when it is disposed of. Often times using traditional sewer repair is impossible due to business needs or ordinances that do not allow for such destructive methods.

Trenchless sewer repair accomplishes what can be done traditionally without the need to dig or destroy and can even repair pipes underneath existing structures without disturbing them. This method is greener than traditional sewer repair methods since it reuses pipe that is already in the ground instead of creating waste that has to be carried away. Using the existing pipe as a “host” for the structural liner prevents the disruption of any soil that may be contaminated by the raw sewage that has leaked through the cracks and voids of the old pipe.

With cleansers, fats, oil, and sustenance going down your kitchen deplete, the inward dividers of your kitchen funnels can without much of a stretch be stopped up with development, bringing on an undesirable blockage. In the event that your channel is running moderate or is essentially stopped up, you know who to call.

Steps to Trenchless Sewer Repair Installation

  1. Access points are identified. These could be exterior clean-out fittings, vent stacks, or toilet openings. These access points will be used to video inspect the damaged pipes and will also provide entry and “pull points” for the liner sleeve.
  2. A video inspection of the pipe is done to pinpoint actual pipe damage.
  3. An epoxy coated liner sleeve is inserted into the damaged pipe area.
  4. Sleeve is inflated and forms a new pipe in the damaged area.
  5. After liner sleeve has cured, follow-up video inspection is done to verify pipe is repaired accurately. The end result is a smooth and seamless “pipe within a pipe”.
