When sewer replacements are unavoidable, conventional sewer line repair is one option to consider. Typically performed by using a backhoe to dig an open “trench,” this conventional method, known as an “open cut,” gives Flood Brothers technicians a clear access to the main sewer line pipe in order to replace it with new ABS or clay pipe. Although Flood Brothers’ Sewer Line Repair and Replacement technicians are trained to be as surgical as possible (to minimize collateral damage to property, yards, driveways and landscaping,) this method of last resort is unavoidably disruptive, time consuming and potentially costly.

Flood Brothers also offers a more economical alternative to the “old school” open air excavations typically required to replace sewer lines. Flood Brothers’ trenchless sewer line repair and replacement, the plumbing equivalent of arthroscopic surgery, eliminates the big trenches dug into your landscaping and the accompanying mess that comes with drudging huge ditches across your yard and driveway to get to the sewage system. Flood Brothers “surgically” and strategically typically drills only 2 or 3 holes without causing major damage to your property.

Call Flood Brothers Plumbing at 855.840.7800, or click to learn more about our cutting-edge trenchless technology and see how we can provide you with an efficient alternative that will not only avoid disruptive digging, but time and money. Flood Brothers’ trenchless pipe replacement and repair technology provides a comprehensive, minimally invasive solution, avoiding material damage to driveways, front yards and costly landscaping.

When employing the trenchless replacement method, Flood Brothers’ plumbing technicians make tactical access holes where the damaged pipe starts and ends. Using the broken clay sewer line as a guide, our HIGH POWERED hydraulic machine pulls 4 inch, semi flexible replacement pipe through the old path while breaking (or BURSTING) through the damaged pipe at the same time. The new pipe is highly resistant to leaks and root intrusion, with a long life expectancy.

Epoxy relining is a process of repairing damaged sewer pipes by creating a “pipe within a pipe” to restore function and flow. Epoxy relining materials mold to the inside of the existing clay pipe to create a smooth, synthetic new inner wall. Pipe relining can be typically performed with minimal digging and be used to repair root-damaged clay pipes by sealing cracks and holes while filling in missing pipe and sealing joint connections making the relined pipe seamless and durable.

An HD camera sewer line inspection is the state-of-the-art tool Flood Brothers professionals use to quickly and accurately establish the source of any problem in your main sewer line. By feeding a flexible, fiber optic cable through your sewer, our operator can not only see any obstructions blocking the proper flow of water or specific pipe damage, but record the exploratory video for your direct examination as well.
