Traditional vs. Trenchless Sewer Line Repairs

When it comes to fixing your sewer line, you've got two main paths: the old-school dig-it-up approach or the newer trenchless magic. Traditional excavation means we trench along your damaged pipe, get our hands directly on the problem, and repair or replace what's broken. It's a tried-and-true method that works for virtually any sewer situation, but it does leave your yard looking like an archaeological dig site until we restore everything. 

Trenchless methods are designed to cause as little damage to your landscaping as possible. We’ll either line your existing pipe with a tough epoxy coating that creates a brand-new pipe inside the old one, or use pipe bursting to break apart the damaged line while pulling fresh pipe into place, all through tiny access points. Your landscaping stays intact, repairs happen faster, and when you factor in not having to rebuild half your yard, the costs often shake out favorably. 

However, trenchless isn't always the perfect answer. Completely collapsed pipes or severely damaged sections sometimes need the traditional approach. Our video camera inspections can show us exactly what's happening down there, and we'll walk you through which method makes the most sense for your specific situation and budget.

What Causes Sewer Line Problems

Sewer lines face numerous threats that can compromise their integrity over time. Understanding these common causes helps explain why sewer problems occur and what our repair efforts address.

We tackle sewer line issues caused by:

  • Tree root intrusion. Roots naturally seek water sources, and even small cracks in sewer pipes attract aggressive root growth. Once inside, roots expand and create blockages, then continue growing until they crack pipes wide open or cause complete collapse.
  • Aging pipe materials. Durham's older neighborhoods often have clay or cast-iron sewer pipes that deteriorate with age. Clay pipes become brittle and crack, while cast iron corrodes from the inside out. These aging materials eventually fail, requiring replacement.
  • Ground shifting and settlement. North Carolina's clay-heavy soil expands and contracts with moisture changes, putting stress on underground pipes. Over time, this movement causes pipes to separate at joints, crack under pressure, or develop bellies where waste collects and clogs form.
  • Grease and debris buildup. Fats, oils, and grease poured down drains solidify inside sewer pipes, gradually narrowing the passage. Combined with other debris, this buildup restricts flow and eventually creates complete blockages that resist conventional clearing methods.
  • Flushing inappropriate items. Wipes marketed as "flushable," feminine hygiene products, paper towels, and other non-degradable items don't break down in sewer lines. They snag on rough pipe interiors and accumulate until they create stubborn clogs.
  • Corroded or deteriorated pipes. Chemical reactions from wastewater, minerals in groundwater, and decades of use corrode metal pipes and degrade other materials. This deterioration weakens pipes structurally, making them vulnerable to cracks, holes, and collapse.

Each of these issues requires specific repair strategies. Our video camera inspections identify where problems exist and what's causing them, allowing us to recommend repairs that address root causes rather than just symptoms.

Don’t settle for sub-par sewer line solutions. Call Poseidon Plumbing at (336) 361-1604 today for professional diagnosis and repair!
