Out of sight, out of mind, but the reality is, sewage line repairs are necessary – they do not last forever.
And there are warning signs that sewage line repairs are imminent – like blockages and backups – so if you pay close attention, you can head off damage and costly repairs.
One thing to note as well is that directional drilling is often a good option for sewage line repairs. And if you schedule a repair before a catastrophic event, you can rest assured that you not only saved money but avoided a giant headache.
So, what do you need to know about sewage line repairs and directional drilling? Read on:
Why do you need a repair?
Sewage lines can need repairs for many reasons: Tree root entanglement, clogs, natural wear and tear or a simple failure or degradation. Sewage lines can break, crack or bend due to many things, like freeze/thaw cycles, shifting earth or more. The joints in your lines can also leak or break and there can also be corrosion issues. Blockages are another common reason for failure and occasionally, your sewage line can sink as the ground settles or changes.
Directional drilling for repairs
A general assumption is that sewage line repairs mean digging, excavating and massive disruptions to your property – but it might not be the case. Directional drilling can often be used to make repairs, resulting in almost no disruption to your landscaping or property. The process usually involves a few small access holes near the part of your line that needs repair – and that is it! Easy peasy. You won’t have to replace sidewalks, landscaping or turf – and your yard won’t be a muddy mess for months while your line is repaired.
When you hire an expert directional drilling company to fix your sewage lines, you can rest assured that the job will be done correctly and quickly with as little disruption as possible.
