TRADITIONAL VS. TRENCHLESS SEWER LINE REPAIR

There are two different methods used to repair and replace sewer lines. At Beach Air, Electrical & Plumbing, we can handle either depending on your needs.

The first, traditional method is considered much more invasive. Traditional sewer line repair services are performed by digging up the entire area of your property surrounding your sewer line. It involves heavy machinery and disruption to the area around your home.

Alternatively, we can also perform these services in a trenchless capacity. This is done by finding the exact point of damage using a camera in your sewer line. Only two holes will be drilled around the nexus of the issue rather than destroying the entirety of your lawn. The repair involves using resin to create a new sewer lining that is impermeable and smooth.
