The Reliable Team for Trenchless Sewer Repair in Port Charlotte, FL

A generation ago, the only available method to fix a damaged sewer pipe involved using heavy equipment and a big crew to dig a deep trench and expose the whole pipe. Today, you have more choices for sewer repair methods. Our crew at Total Drain Solutions performs trenchless sewer repair in Port Charlotte, FL. We serve homeowners, property managers and business owners dealing with damaged sewer lines. Our trenchless repairs resolve common issues, including tree root obstructions, cracks, corrosion, leaks, offsets, and more. With our 50 years of combined pipe repair experience, we get the work done correctly and quickly and deliver long-lasting results on every project.

Advantages of Trenchless Repair

A trenchless sewer line repair preserves your landscaping and trees. The hard features of your property, including driveways, parking lots, sidewalks, patios, and porches, remain intact. The process doesn't require any cutting into the slab, foundation, or flooring of your home or building, so you won't have to deal with indoor or outdoor restorations. A conventional sewer repair requires about two weeks from start to project completion, but we finish a trenchless repair within two days. The epoxy resin and liners we use for trenchless repairs offer a 50-year lifespan, which equals that of a newly installed pipe. The materials we use don't harm the environment.

All About the Different Types of Trenchless Sewer Repair

Our team at Total Drain Solutions offers three primary types of trenchless pipe repair and replacement for residential and commercial sewer pipes, namely:

Pipe Bursting

Pipe bursting uses a robot with a bursting head. The robot navigates through the host pipe, breaking it apart and pulling a new PVC pipe into place. This is a highly popular trenchless pipe replacement method.

Cured-In-Place Pipe Lining

Through the cured-in-place-pipe repair method, we use a prepared fiberglass and polymer liner with resin already in place. After deploying and inverting the liner, we cure it.

Slip Lining

The slip lining involves placing a fabric liner into the damaged pipe.

A Look at the Minimally Invasive Sewer Repair Process

All trenchless repairs begin with cleaning and preparing the pipe. We use a camera to inspect the pipe and verify its compatibility with trenchless repair techniques. Our crew deploys the robot and positions the liner. If needed, we create a small entry pit and exit pit for the robot. Once we confirm the liner's position, we cure the resin with heat, steam, air pressure or UV light.
