Trenchless Relining in Charlotte and Belmont

Sewer line damage leads to recurring backups, slow drainage, unpleasant odors, and leaks around your property. Traditional replacement techniques require digging through the ground, which affects landscaping, driveways, and other surfaces.

At Helms Plumbing and Drains, we provide trenchless relining to repair and restore underground sewer lines without excavating the entire line. We inspect the line, prepare the damaged pipe, and install a resin liner inside the existing pipe.

Sewer Line Problems We Repair

We use trenchless relining to repair certain types of underground pipe damage without replacing the entire line or plumbing system. This technique is suitable for different types of pipe damage, including

Cracked pipes: Repair cracks that allow wastewater to leak out or soil to enter the pipe.
Leaking joints: Repair gaps between connected pipes that might allow wastewater to leak
Root intrusion: Repair sections affected by roots entering through cracks or damaged joints.
Corrosion: Restore pipes affected by corrosion, deterioration, and long-term wear.

Benefits of Trenchless Sewer Line Relining

Our trenchless relining work provides several benefits compared with traditional replacement:

Less excavation

Reduces the need for extensive digging around lawns, driveways, and landscaped areas.

Less ground disturbance

Limits disruption to surfaces above the existing sewer pipe during repairs.

Protects landscaping

Keeps lawns, gardens, and other outdoor areas intact during sewer repairs.

Efficient pipe restoration

Restores the interior of a suitable existing pipe with a durable resin liner.

Long-term support

Provides a new inner surface that helps restore the function of aging pipes.

Trenchless Relining vs. Traditional Sewer Line Replacement

Trenchless relining repairs a suitable existing pipe from the inside, while traditional sewer replacement requires removing the damaged pipe and installing a new one. Relining requires less excavation, which helps limit changes to landscaping, driveways, and other surfaces above the pipe.

However, severely collapsed or extensively damaged pipes may require full replacement. At Helms Plumbing and Drains, we inspect the existing pipe and recommend the repair option best suited for its condition.
