What Is Trenchless Water Line Replacement?

Cheap Plumber performs trenchless waterline replacements by drilling two holes at the beginning and end of the waterlines. We then install the pipes underground by digging holes leveraging cable pulling technology. After doing these steps, we connect the water lines from the access to the property’s plumbing so there’s a fast and efficient water line replacement.

Traditional vs. Trenchless Water Line Replacement

If pipe replacement is on the agenda, you need to know the differences between the traditional method and the trenchless method. On the one hand, the traditional water line pipe repair strategy is costly and the results are not as long lasting as the trenchless process. On the other hand, trenchless technology is cost-effective and long-lasting. While the installation process for trenchless and traditional piping is the same, the costs of the process and labor are less for the trenchless method.

When considering the trenchless water line replacement cost, one thing to factor into the equation is that trenchless replacement pipes last longer. The trenchless water line replacement process typically takes a few hours.

What Is the Pipe Bursting Process?

The pipe bursting trenchless process is the most effective when replacing complete sewer or water pipelines. It’s a technique that involves threading the replacement pipe through the damaged line and connecting a bursting head (a spear-shaped tool) to the other end before using a cable to feed it through the faulty tube.

During the pipe bursting process, the spear-shaped head bursts through the existing pipe from the inside while also laying down the new pipe. It’s a process that works particularly well when replacing the entire water or sewer pipes.

What Is the Pipe Lining Process?

If traditional pipe replacement doesn’t work for your budget, trenchless pipe lining is a more cost-effective option. Replacement of pipes the old-fashioned way takes a long time, is expensive, and destroys your yard. Since there is a lot less digging using the pipe lining process, it’s relatively fast. It’s a process that involves forming a pipe inside an existing line. We do it by using a unique epoxy to make a pipe that maintains the structural durability of a new pipe without damaging the current structure or nearby landscaping.

A pipe liner might be sufficient to fix deteriorating drains and sewer lines and save customers money. Putting the epoxy into existing pipes can fix piping systems and even make up for damaged or extracted pipe parts. You can count on this process as a long-lasting solution against root infiltration, leaks, clogs, breaks, water damage, calcium build-up, mold, sewer backups, and limited flow capacity.

All You Need to Know About The Cost of Trenchless Water Line Replacement

1. Trenchless Water Line Replacement Costs

The trenchless water line replacement cost depends on various factors that include the scope of the work required and where you live. What follows is a breakdown of various subcategories:

– Trenchless Water Line Replacement Cost

A regular residence’s trenchless water line replacement expense is between $500 and $1500.

– Trenchless Water Main Replacement Cost

A trenchless water main replacement costs between $500 and $1700.

– Trenchless Water Line Replacement Cost per Foot

In Canada, replacing a damaged pipe costs from $250 to $500 per foot.

2. Several Things Impact The Cost of Trenchless Water Line Replacement:

Where you live:

If you reside in an area with a high cost of living, you can expect to pay more for sewer repair. So, the answer to, “how much does trenchless water line repair cost?” will depend on your region. If you’re a Toronto homeowner, you’ll probably pay more than an Ottawa homeowner.

The pipe size:

Larger pipes contain more materials and therefore cost more. Meanwhile, smaller pipes are more complex and harder to fix, so contractors will charge more to fix a 2-inch pipe than an 8-inch pipe.

Pipe’s shape:

If the felt liner used in structural pipe lining endures many round-degree bends of 45 or 90, it will get tangled. The contractor will, due to the many twists, be forced to dig other access points and increase the overall repair cost.

Position of the pipe: 

The trenchless water line replacement method is less invasive compared to the conventional method, but some digging is necessary to access the damaged pipe. So, even trenchless techniques will require some digging, which can negatively impact the driveway, lawn, or flower bed. The trenchless method is still much less invasive than the conventional method. 

Pipe condition:

Because of the nature of the trenchless method, the condition of the pipe won’t necessarily impact the expense of the repair. It depends on the type of damage — something the licensed plumber will determine. If the plumber finds that the damaged pipe is back pitched (i.e. water flows toward rather than away from your residence) or collapsed, the pipe must be dug inside to replace it.

3. Other Costs:

Inspection:

Before performing pipe repairs, contractors inspect the damaged pipe so they can figure out the best repair option. Some contractors charge an extra fee for the inspection while others don’t.

Excessive corrosion or build-up:

The damaged pipe should be extensively cleaned and prepped prior to performing structural spray lining or pipe lining. If the damage is significant, that can lead to higher repair expenses.

The number of branches:

Drainage pipes have tie-ins or branches. If pipelining has been used to fix a portion of the pipe, the odds are that the liner will block one or more branches. If that’s the case, the plumber will have to reinstate them after the pipe lining process. This will further increase the repair cost.
