Traditional pipe repair meant digging sometimes across an entire yard, through landscaping, or even under driveways and walkways. Trenchless pipe repair methods have changed that significantly. Techniques like pipe lining (cured-in-place pipe) and pipe bursting allow Water Heater Co. to rehabilitate or replace damaged underground lines in Saint Paul, MN with minimal excavation often just one or two small access points rather than a full trench the length of the pipe run.
Pipe lining involves inserting a resin-saturated liner into the existing pipe and curing it in place, creating a new pipe inside the old one. Pipe bursting pulls a new pipe through the old line while simultaneously fracturing the damaged original. Both methods are faster than traditional excavation, significantly less disruptive to your property, and in most cases cost-competitive with open-cut replacement when you factor in the cost of restoring your yard, driveway, or landscaping afterward. Water Heater Co. uses camera inspection to determine which method is appropriate for your specific pipe damage before recommending an approach.
