Advanced Repair Technologies We Employ
Traditional sewer repair methods often required extensive excavation, destroying landscaping and driveways while creating weeks of disruption. Our team utilizes trenchless repair technologies whenever possible, including pipe bursting and cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) lining methods that restore your sewer functionality with minimal ground disturbance. These innovative techniques involve creating small access points rather than digging extensive trenches, preserving your property’s aesthetic appeal while delivering permanent solutions to structural pipe failures.
The pipe bursting method involves pulling a new high-density polyethylene pipe through your existing damaged line while simultaneously fracturing the old pipe outward into surrounding soil. This process typically completes within a single day, compared to traditional excavation methods that might require a week or more. CIPP lining creates a seamless, jointless pipe within your existing sewer line using epoxy-saturated textile liners that cure in place, effectively creating a new pipe inside the old one with a life expectancy exceeding 50 years.
Common Causes of Sewer Line Damage
Tree root intrusion remains the leading cause of residential sewer line failures across Garfield, Hackensack, Hasbrough, Lodi, Passaic, Saddlebrook, Edison Township, Hasbrouck Heights, Highland Park, and Woodbridge, NJ, with aggressive root systems seeking moisture and nutrients found within sewer pipes. These roots enter through tiny cracks or pipe joints, eventually creating massive blockages and structural damage. Our specialized root cutting equipment and preventative treatment programs help protect your system from recurring root problems while preserving mature trees on your property.
Aging infrastructure presents another significant challenge, particularly in older neighborhoods throughout Greater Bergen County where clay or cast iron pipes installed decades ago have reached their functional limits. Corrosion, ground shifting, and natural deterioration cause these materials to crack, collapse, or separate at joints. We evaluate each situation individually, considering factors like pipe material, damage extent, and soil conditions to recommend either targeted repairs or complete replacement using modern materials resistant to corrosion and root intrusion. Every sewer repair project begins with our thorough camera inspection service, provided free with our estimates on installation services. Using waterproof cameras mounted on flexible cables, we navigate your entire sewer system, recording high-definition footage that reveals cracks, blockages, misalignments, and root intrusions. This visual documentation helps you understand exactly what problems exist and allows us to develop precise repair strategies tailored to your specific situation. Following diagnosis, we present clear repair options with complete transparency about costs, timeframes, and expected outcomes. Our family-owned company believes in educating customers about their choices rather than pushing unnecessary services. Whether your situation requires simple hydro-jetting to clear blockages or extensive pipe replacement, we explain each process thoroughly and offer flexible financing options to make essential repairs accessible.
