The older your sewer lines are, the greater the likelihood that something could go wrong with your lines. There are numerous ways that a sewer line could be damaged including substandard piping material, leaking pipe joints, grease buildup, bellied pipes, soil shifts, invasive tree roots, and corrosion. The traditional repair method for sewer lines is typically performed using the "open cut" or "trench" method to gain access to the area surrounding the damaged portion of the pipe. A backhoe may be used to open and refill the work area, but this often causes damage to a homeowner's yard and much disruption.
