Passionate. Professional. Proficient.Trenchless Technology Services in Atlanta
All residential plumbing systems are made up of many different components. Because any single one of these components may require repairs or a replacement at some point, it is necessary that you have an Atlanta plumber that you can trust to do the job right. That is precisely the type of plumber that you can expect to find when you are with the professional team at Quick Action Plumbers.
Part of the complexity that servicing a plumbing system presents is the fact that certain parts of that plumbing system are going to be far less readily accessible than others. This is certainly the case with a sewer line, for example, which is predominantly buried beneath the ground. There was a time when servicing and repairing a sewer line required substantial excavation, making the whole ordeal a bit of a headache. Today, though, you are fortunate enough to have trenchless technology available for plumbing services in Atlanta and throughout the area.
What Is Trenchless Technology?
Trenchless technology refers to tools and systems used today by professional plumbing contractors to allow for the relatively convenient repair and replacement of damaged buried plumbing lines, such as your sewer line. Not so long ago, replacing a sewer line meant that a trench had to be dug along the entire length of that sewer line, exposing the pipe completely. With the use of trenchless technology, this invasive procedure is no longer necessary.
A trenchless sewer line repair or replacement can now be completed by simply digging out two holes on the property: one at each end of the pipe. A machine is used to pull a new pipe, or a pipe liner, in place through the old pipe. In the event of a trenchless sewer replacement, a bursting head is used in order to destroy the old pipe as the new one is put in place or the old one is simply forced out the other hole as the new pipe takes its place. If repairs are needed, a pipe liner is pulled into place, inflated, and allowed to dry. This creates a pipe within the old pipe, effectively sealing any cracks or holes. In either event, the process is completed far more quickly and affordably than was previously possible.
