Sewer Lines
Every home has an
outdoor, underground drainage system in order to dispose of the waste
water and sewage created by simply occupying a home and using its plumbing
fixtures. This drainage system is known as a home's sewer line. The sewer line
exits the home underground and dumps into either a septic tank (in some older
homes), or in most cases the city or county's main sewer system.
Homes are built one of three ways: on a slab, over a basement
(full or half), or over a crawlspace. In homes built over a basements, the
inside portion of the sewer line is generally visible inside the basement where
it exits the foundation wall. In crawlspace homes, the interior portion of the
sewer line is underneath the home, and is only accessible if you enter beneath
the home. Slab homes feature sewer lines that are hidden in their entirety, and
can only be accessed inside the home by cutting or jack hammering the concrete
slab and exposing the piping. In all of these cases, the sewer line exits the
home underground, runs through the yard and empties into the city or county's
main line (see the manhole covers in your street?) via a tap. This tap is the
point where the homeowner's property and city or county property meet, and is a
common location for sewer line problems...more on that later. While generally
shallow upon exiting the home (around 3-5 feet), sewer lines, due to the nature
of some yards, can be as deep as 25 feet at the point where they meet the tap.
This extreme depth is rare, however, usually resting at a 7-10 foot depth.
Residential sewer lines are generally 4 inches in diameter,
more than adequate to handle the average waste load of a typical home. Depending
on the age of the home, the sewer line may be constructed of different
materials. Much older homes often featured lines made of a hardened clay. While
this material had very smooth interior walls and allowed for easy flow of waste,
it was obviously flawed in that the clay would frequently break with underground
settling or root growth, and was particularly susceptible to root penetration at
the joints. In most cases with older homes (30-50 years old), cast iron was the
material of choice for sewer line installations. Cast iron was superior to clay
pipe in many ways: far greater strength, better sealed joints, and longer life
span. As with any metal buried in the ground however, cast iron eventually
revealed it's weakness after many years: tree roots. Cast iron sewer lines were
joined in sections by inserting one end of the pipe into the next via a hub (a
flared end of the pipe). Then oakum (a hemp-like material) was pounded into the
space around the inside pipe. Then molten lead was poured over the oakum to seal
everything up. This method was durable, but over time the lead separated from
the oakum and the sewer line joints began to weaken. This allowed roots to
penetrate the line. Also, cast iron is weak against rust, and many years use
would often rot out the bottom of the pipes, allowing for all sorts of problems.
This rusting would also weaken the walls of the pipe, and crushed cast iron
sewer lines are now a common problem. When cast iron is used today, which is
rare, bands of rubber and steel are used to connect pieces together.
When it comes time to replace or repair a home's sewer line, we cut NO
corners. During replacements we extract the entire sewer line, from its
exit at your home all the way to the street. We then replace the line with
high-grade, schedule 40 (pressure-treated) PVC pipe, grade and slope the pipe
properly, and all joints are solvent-welded. We also install two cleanouts
(access points for any future maintenance); one at the home and one at the
street. If necessary, we also install a backwater valve near the home to
protect it in case the city's sewer overflows. Before testing and covering the
new line we properly bed-in the sewer line. Bedding-in is a process that places
a firm material (usually gravel or hard earth) under the pipe to eliminate the
chances of the pipe's shape or flow being altered by: someone driving over it,
ground settling, erosion, etc. Before covering up the new sewer line, we
thoroughly test it to ensure that it flows smoothly and freely, as well to make
sure that there are no leaks. After testing, we cover up the ditch made during
the installation, grading the area in the process, and often seeding and laying
out straw to aid in the re-growth of grass or other plants. Our sewer lines
carry a 10-year warranty on parts, labour, and functionality.

What is trenchless sewer repair?
Trenchless technology allows us to repair a
section of sewer pipe or replace the entire sewer line without digging up the
whole line. Trenchless sewer line replacement can save a homeowner's yard,
landscaping, or rockery from being disturbed. It also allows for line
replacement in areas where it is not accessible to excavation equipment and
would otherwise have to be dug up by hand.
How Does It work?
First, we dig a hole at each end of the line or
section that is being replaced. Next, a cable is sent through the old line. The
cable is then attached to the new pipe and pulled back through the old pipe by a
powerful hydraulic piston. Another name for this process of trenchless pipe
replacement is Pipe Bursting.
How Toronto Plumbing Does Trenchless Sewer Line
Repair
To help understand the tremendous advantage in
choosing Toronto Plumbing Trenchless Sewer Line Repair Service.
It's helpful to understand how this type of repair is done.
1. The first step in the process is to excavate two holes in your yard, these
serve as an entry and an exit.
2. After that, a splitting head is affixed to the
replacement pipe, which then barges through the old pipe.
3. As the old pipe is being extended, the
replacement pipe is pulled through the old pipe concurrently.
The replacement pipe will follow the same installation procedure as the old one.
The new pipe will also be made of a solid, one-piece polyethylene pipe, which is
not jointed in any way.
Because we use polyethylene, the life of the new replacement pipe will outlive
the lifespan of the old one.
Another advantage of the polyethylene non-jointed pipe is that it will not allow
any tree roots to grow into the pipe, causing damage, like old-fashioned sewer
pipes used to do.
4. While the splitting head blasts in order to
make room for the new replacement pipe, it's then possible, due to the machine
power, to increase the diameter of the pipe slightly, but it depends on the
diameter of the original pipe.
There is no need to excavate up the entire sewer
line in your yard. This eliminates additional costs in repairing your yard –
which you would be responsible for.
The process of trenchless sewer line repair is cost-effective and can be
accomplished in a shorter period of time than traditional replacement processes.
As mentioned before, polyethylene pipes are used in the process, and do not
allow for any type of damage caused by tree roots.
Because the pipes will be cured as they are being
set in place, the capacity in which everything flows through them will be
dramatically increased, enhancing efficiency of the system.
This trenchless sewer line repair technology can
be achieved quickly, allowing our customers to repair their old sewer lines
easily – without any of the runarounds, delays, unnecessary digging, and
technical disruptions – all of which normal, outdated, sewer line replacement
techniques would normally require. As there is only one entry hole and one exit
hole, this will not cause any damage to your lawn; so, you can save yourself the
fear and frustration of trying to re-landscape your lawn or losing complete
access to your yard as you should be entitled to do.. As this process of
trenchless sewer line repair requires very little excavating, as compared to
older technology, the sewer line repair process is now much more affordable than
ever before.
