If you have been negligent in your plumbing maintenance, it is highly likely that you will experience problems in the future. Have clogged drains been more frequent than usual?

  • The most crucial part of a plumbing repair is inspection. When dealing with water lines buried behind walls and sewer lines that are buried underground, checking for damage can be a tricky task. So before we determine that you have a broken sewer pipe, it is essential to investigate the Why, What and Where. Why could it be broken, what caused it, and where is the damage located?

    When hiring Mr. Rooter for a sewer line repair, Fort Worth, TX residents can expect us to take the following steps:

    Video Camera Inspection

    Video inspection allows our certified plumber to view your sewer pipe’s interior. A small camera is attached to a flexible cable which is lowered down the cleanout (also known as the sewer trap). The cleanout is typically located in your home’s lowest level or outside your property in the front. It gives our professionals direct access to your private sewer lateral. The same camera is also used for household drain inspections should you be experiencing regular clogged drain issues. But sewer line issues often come with more serious indications, such as overflowing toilets, clogged floor drains, or slow drainage.

    As the camera travels through the pipe, the visuals will be reflected on a monitor. Our Fort Worth plumber is able to determine the pipe material and condition while continuing to locate the clog or trouble spot. With a signal receiver, we’re able to follow the camera from the surface. If you have a sewer line clog, such as a tree root intrusion, the video camera will locate it. However, if you have a sewer line leak, our expert plumbers need additional tools to locate the water leak.

Leak Detection

An acoustic listening device is used to determine irregularities concerning water flow. Another useful device is a thermographic imaging tool that helps detect surface temperature changes. This makes it much easier to determine where a leak might be coming from before we can determine the type of Fort Worth sewer line repair service you need.

Hydro Scrubbing

You may be familiar with our popular drain cleaning service, which involves our cutting-edge HydroScrub® Jetting technology. It uses high-pressure water jets to blast through stubborn clogs and, at the same time, clears the pipe walls from sludge and mineral deposits. The same procedure applies to sewer cleaning, which is a service that our professional plumbers in Fort Worth, TX recommend every two to three years. In this case, the cleaning is required prior to the start of our Fort Worth sewer line repair service. Hydro jetting will cut through tree roots and other sewer blockages with a straight-shooting jet. On the other hand, the rear jets rotate and clear the walls from sludge and mineral deposits.

Fort Worth Sewer Line Repair Process

Once our experienced plumbers have a clear pipe to work with and have marked the exact damage areas, we may begin with the sewer line repair. Fort Worth, TX residents will get a detailed diagnosis of the problem, as well as dependable and cost-effective repair options. Depending on the results of our findings and whether we’re dealing with a minor or extensive damage, we offer different types of sewer line repairs. Fort Worth, TX homeowners deal with many clog issues and as long as they’re dealt with in time, you are less likely to experience a broken pipe. However, a clog can create such intense pressure that your pipe begins to crack and leak. And when dealing with tree root infiltration, that type of damage has already been done.

Luckily, there is trenchless technology that removes the hassle of excavation. Trenchless sewer repair is a minimally invasive process that is convenient, cost-effective and long-lasting.

Two popular types of Fort Worth sewer line repair include:

  • Pipe Lining: Pipe lining is one of the most popular trenchless repair methods and is often referred to as “cure in place pipe.” Nowadays, the relining pipe is also called a “sleeve.” During this process, an inflatable replacement pipe is first soaked in epoxy resin before it is carefully installed inside the affected pipe to cure in place. After about 48 hours of drying and curing, the pipe’s original functions are recovered.
  • Pipe Bursting: The bursting process is the next popular trenchless technique used during a Fort Worth sewer line repair. However, this method is more similar to a replacement. Bursting is recommended if the pipe has suffered from various damage in different areas. Before the process, two access holes are drilled from the surface area. Through one hole, we insert a machinery that uses hydraulic power to break the affected pipe into small pieces. Through the other hole, a rod is used to pull the pieces out, while at the same time a new liner is installed via the entry hole. The benefit of a bursting service is that your sewer line is as good as new without a reduced diameter.

Note: It’s important to note that trenchless methods are only possible for pipes that are still intact. It won’t work if it has collapsed or is severely corroded. In that case, the traditional excavation method for a sewer line replacement is the only way to recover your sewer lateral.
