Trenchless water line repair is done without digging up your property. This method not only saves time but also saves you money.

When You Need Trenchless Water Line Replacement

Your sewer lines are buried deep beneath the ground, so it is not always apparent that there may be a problem ready to cause the lines to burst. The most common reasons for needing to do a trenchless water line replacement include:

Replacing Old Materials. Depending on the age of your home and your neighbourhood, your pipes may have reached the end of their life. Many years ago pipes were made of lead or galvanized steel which can break down over time. Lead pipes can also be a significant health risk so it is always a good idea to replace them as soon as possible. Corrosion in pipes can lead to cracking which can lead to water loss or water damage to your home.
Home Additions. Are you starting a home renovation project and want to increase water capacities in your home, such as adding washrooms or water facilities? You may have to upgrade your water pipe system to provide enough water to service your home renovation. Check with your municipality to ensure your home renovation project meets local requirements for upgrades.
Emergency Broken Water Line Replacement. It’s not just age that can cause pipes to burst. Changes in temperature such as extreme cold can cause the ground to heave, causing pipes to crack or burst. These same environmental pressures can cause sidewalks and roads to give way, causing pipes to burst under the pressure.

To ensure your trenchless water line repair is done right and with minimal impact, Summit Drain & Plumbing uses the ‘torpedo method’. This is when the contract uses a tunnel to install the new water lines. A steelhead is sent through the existing pipeline pulling the new pipes behind it. Next, a hydraulic ram pulls the cable with the head through the old damaged pipes to replace it with new ones, leaving your lawn untouched.
