Commonly Used Trenchless Techniques

Trenchless pipe lining is the most frequently utilized non-disruptive repair method that we offer, but it’s not the only service option. Point repairs and pipe lining, specifically CIPP (Cured-In-Place Pipe) lining, are two trenchless methods that revolutionized the way the industry conducted pipeline rehabilitation.

Point repairs excel in providing precise structural fixes with pinpoint accuracy, making them ideal for targeted repairs in specific areas of damage. With options for various repair lengths, pipe diameters, and elbow repairs, point repairs offer versatility to address a wide range of pipeline configurations and issues, all while boasting rapid curing times and minimal environmental disruption.

On the other hand, pipe lining, particularly CIPP lining, offers seamless and durable solutions by creating a new pipe within the existing host pipe. This method is highly adaptable to different pipe materials and diameters, providing cost-effective and long-lasting rehabilitation while enhancing structural integrity and corrosion resistance.

Choosing between point repairs and pipe lining depends on the project’s requirements, including the extent of damage, pipe material, and desired outcomes. Point repairs are favored for precision repairs in limited access areas, while pipe lining is preferred for comprehensive rehabilitation of pipelines, offering seamless and durable solutions across various pipe materials and issues.

By understanding the characteristics and applications of each method, pipeline operators can make informed decisions to ensure effective and efficient rehabilitation of their infrastructure.

What to Expect From Trenchless Sewer Repair Work

The first step of any trenchless sewer replacement project is conducting a detailed inspection with a sewer line camera.

The pipe may also be cleaned for better visibility and to facilitate the repair process.

Epoxy Solutions

Our team offers advanced repair methods suitable for a variety of pipe types including clay, PVC, cast iron, and more.

Our epoxy repairs effectively coat gaps and cracks up to 1/8″ without the need for additional treatment, providing a durable and long-lasting solution for pipe restoration.

• Effective for Small Defects: Sanitary cast iron pipes with small pinholes and cracks can be coated, effectively eliminating sewer gas issues.
• Minimally Invasive Solution: Epoxy repair eliminates the need for fitting reinstatement, concrete cutting, excavation, or wall patching, providing a less-invasive and efficient solution.
• Enhanced Structural Integrity: Epoxy coating enhances the structural integrity of the existing pipe, provides corrosion resistance, and significantly extends the life of the pipe.
• Sanitary Systems: Epoxy coating is frequently used for sanitary branch lines within larger sanitary systems, providing a robust and long-lasting solution.
• Various Pipe Types: Suitable for clay, PVC, cast iron, and many other pipe materials, ensuring versatility in application.

Point Repairs

Point repair utilizes a trenchless technology solution that is suitable for various piping materials including PVC, cast iron, clay, and more.

Our point repair method allows for structural repairs with pinpoint accuracy, making it ideal for applications where underground material transitions are present and for repairing large gaps and cracks in host piping.

Our point repairs are ambient cured in place in as little as one hour, minimizing downtime for sewer usage. The fiberglass material used in the repairs strengthens the structural integrity of the host pipe, providing a durable solution.

The repair materials also offer corrosion resistance, extending the life of the piping system. This method eliminates the need for soil excavation, reducing labor time and preserving the surrounding environment.

Point repairs are ideal for repairing specific points in sanitary systems, ensuring efficient flow and structural stability. They are equally effective for targeted repairs in storm drains, preventing leaks and blockages.

They are also suitable for industrial applications where precise repairs are needed without disrupting operations.

The Advantages of Trenchless Repair Technology

Trenchless pipe repair is beneficial for property owners who need repairs but don’t want their lawns, landscaping, hardscaping, and pavement destroyed in the process.

The work can also be completed in just a day or two instead of several days as is often the case with excavation-and-replacement projects.

If you have an old septic line running from your house to your septic tank that needs replaced, DO NOT replace it. You may ask what are you talking about? Don’t I need to tear up my yard and landscaping, remove the old cast iron pipe and replace it. The answer is NO! You call Harner Plumbing.

They use a remarkable process called trenchless pipelining. With no digging required, your yard remains intact. They inject a plastic liner inside the old pipe, creating a new, incredibly strong plastic pipe. It’s truly amazing!

You might wonder why everyone isn’t using this method. The answer is that it requires a significant capital investment and specialized training. Some companies may not be ready to make that commitment.

Mike and Evan from Harner Plumbing were exceptional throughout the entire process. They provided clear, educational information and explained everything in simple terms. We experienced minimal downtime, with water use only restricted for a little over two hours.

I highly recommend Harner Plumbing and will definitely spread the word in our area!

What kinds of damage do you look for when performing a camera inspection?

We check for pipeline cracks, blockages, tree root damage, settling, offsets, corrosion, and other issues that could negatively impact the pipeline’s performance.

How much does trenchless pipe replacement cost?

Every project is different. We’ll provide a personalized estimate for your job before trenchless pipe replacement begins.

What kind of material is used to reline a damaged pipe?

Pipe liners are made from woven or pressed fabric that has been infused with epoxy. This allows the liner to be flexible for easy placement. The epoxy then cures and hardens to form the new interior pipe surface.

Trenchless sewer repair is an excellent method for strengthening and extending the service life of old and antiquated piping.
