When you contact a plumber from BullsEye Plumbing Heating & Air, expect to receive an honest opinion based on a fair, thorough assessment of the situation. When it comes to issues involving sewer lines, there are times when the most appropriate solution is excavation. Below, we focus on the instances when this may be the case.

The Sewer Line Has Collapsed

Trenchless sewer line repair isn’t possible or advisable if the affected pipe has collapsed. With situations like this, excavation is the better choice since digging will allow the pieces of the damaged pipe to be properly removed before a new one is installed.

Damage is Widespread

You’ll likely benefit from traditional sewer line replacemen if you have a sewer line that’s damaged in multiple locations. This is more likely to be the case with older sewer pipes, especially ones affected by corrosion and age-related wear. Results from a sewer camera inspection can help determine how far the damage extends.

You Don’t Want Pipes Buried

As mentioned, sewer pipe line repair may not be possible if the damage is severe. An alternative solution is a process called pipe bursting, which involves breaking up the damaged pipe and pushing it into the ground. However, some homeowners have concerns about doing this. If you’re one of them, excavation may be advised. It will also allow you to have an entirely new sewer line installed after the damaged one is properly fully removed.
