Can the Trenchless Method Fix All the Sewer Damage?
Trenchless sewer repair can fix a wide range of sewer line problems, including cracks, corrosion, and damage caused by tree roots. It works well on both newer and older pipes as long as the pipe hasn’t completely collapsed or shifted out of alignment. If the structure of the existing pipe is intact or only partially damaged, trenchless solutions like pipe lining or pipe bursting can restore it without excavation. However, if the pipe is totally crushed, has major offsets, or is inaccessible, traditional methods might be the better option. We always start with a sewer line inspection to assess the condition and determine the best approach for your property in West Jordan.
Can the Trenchless Method Be Used on Older Pipes?
Yes, trenchless technology is often the best option for older pipes, especially those made from clay, cast iron, or outdated materials. These older lines often have corrosion, cracks, or tree root intrusions—but if the basic structure is still there, trenchless pipe relining can seal it up and create a new pipe inside the old one.
Even if the pipe is too far gone for relining, pipe bursting can break apart the old pipe and pull a new one into place. Our licensed West Jordan plumbers have worked on homes all over Utah, and trenchless repair has saved many homeowners from costly and invasive excavations.
What Are the Benefits of Trenchless Sewer Repair Compared to Traditional Repair?
- Less Damage to Your Property: We avoid tearing up lawns, patios, and driveways, which saves you money and stress.
- Faster Repairs: Trenchless sewer line repair can usually be completed in a single day, instead of the several days needed for traditional digging.
- Cost Savings Over Time: No need to pay for landscaping or concrete restoration after the job is done.
- Strong, Long-Lasting Results: The materials we use are resistant to tree roots, rust, and corrosion, and are expected to last 50 years or longer.
- Cleaner and Quieter Process: With no heavy excavation equipment, trenchless repairs are far less disruptive to your home and daily routine.
Bought our home and were unexpectedly and suddenly side-lined for the urgent need to repipe the entire home. We gathered bids, one of which was from Rare Breed. Rare Breed was 1/3 the price of one competitor (heavily commercialized in SLC) and their warranty was literally 10 X a third company who also gave us a bid . Their experienced crew also cut only a 1/3 as many holes making the subsequent sheetrock patching less expensive from the independent contractor. Rare Breed was the the easy choice. Their crew was ontime every day (early) and stayed all day into the evening until the job was completely done. Employees look sharp, are exremely polite and professional (I believe … Greg, Benson to name a few). They went to a great extent to clean up after themselves and there were no traces of their work left behind. My family and I are very wary of strangers coming into our home but this crew put us right at ease. I can’t say enough about this company. The job ran into a few snags that were quickly remedied by them. I would absolutely use them again. Thank you to the owner(s). Great job!
