When faced with plumbing issues, homeowners often have the choice between traditional excavation and trenchless repairs. While each method has its own set of pros and cons, the trenchless route is often preferred by homeowners for its advantages over traditional repairs. Sewer Pro explains why it makes sense to choose trenchless services in Atlanta, GAeven if excavation is still an option:

THE ADVANTAGE OF TRADITIONAL EXCAVATION

Open-top excavation is a time-tested method of sewer line repair. Before the more recent invention of trenchless water pipe repair methods, open-top excavation was the only option for repairing and replacing pipes. The process involves digging up the earth surrounding the pipes that need to be repaired so that they can be inspected and fixed.

WHY TRENCHLESS SOLUTIONS?

Trenchless repairs use several methods to deal with damaged pipes, such as trenchless pipe lining and bursting. This flexibility allows us to repair different kinds of plumbing problems quickly and effectively.

Trenchless pipe repair is also superior to excavation in several ways. For one, it’s far less obtrusive, doesn’t require any soil or earth to be relocated, and is typically faster. Restoration costs will also be reduced significantly. Because there is less equipment and labour necessary, the overall cost of trenchless repairs are also lower than traditional methods.

Because of the lengthy and labour-intensive process involved, we often recommend trenchless sewer repair to homeowners, even if it’s still possible to excavate the pipe. Unfortunately, not every pipe is a good fit for trenchless solutions. If the pipe is too old or damaged to the point where we have to completely remove the affected area, excavation is your only option for repair.
