Sewer Rodding – Park Ridge

Sewer Rodding Park Ridge Homeowners Can Trust

When a sewer backs up in Park Ridge and there is no one there to hear it, does it make a sound? Possibly, but usually the first sound is the shriek of the homeowner who discovers it.

Let’s face it, there is nothing fun and exciting about sewage. It’s not cute or adorable and it certainly doesn’t lend itself to sharing on social media. It’s an uninvited guest who always seems to show up at the worst possible time.

When it does, don’t despair. The Scottish Plumber’s technicians are friendly and professional sewer rodding experts whose only purpose, when in uniform, is to rescue homeowners like you from situations like this.

Trenchless Sewer Repair – Skokie

Trenchless Sewer Repair is a term Skokie homeowners should become familiar with. With many homes more than a century old, and almost exclusively clay piping, many residents will at one point or another experience some kind of problem with their sewers.

Trenchless Sewer Repair Saves Your Lawn and More

Sewer repair done using traditional methods is often messy. It usually involves excavation which means either digging in the yard or breaking up the basement floor. In some cases, the sewer is located under another object, such as a paved walkway, a bush, or a deck – and each of these has to be removed in order to make the repair.

This is especially impactful in towns like Skokie where homeowners really care about their landscaping. What’s worse, after the sewer has been repaired, the homeowner has to deal with the costs of and time lost on restoration. This is where the Trenchless method comes in.

Conventional sewer repair often requires excavation as you can see in this photo. It takes lots of time and effort to restore your lawn to its original state.

How Does Trenchless Sewer Repair Work?

There are two types of Trenchless Sewer Repair Skokie customers can take advantage of:

Sewer Liner (also known as Trenchless Sewer Relining or Sewer Lining) – typically used to repair longer sections of pipe – usually 20 feet or longer. It can also be used in place of conventional sewer replacement.
Pipe Stent Trenchless Sewer Repair – typically used to repair shorter sections of pipe and for spot repairs.

With the Trenchless method, we’re able to install a new section of pipe inside of the damaged pipe using a woven fiberglass sleeve, resins, and hardeners. The repaired section of pipe is stronger than any existing pipe (see video at bottom of page), and it’s smooth and seamless which ensures proper flow.

Clay pipe, which is the most common type of sewer pipe in Skokie, is known for allowing roots to enter through connections between sections of pipe. Trenchless Sewer Repair completely seals off these connections and completely blocks the roots from entering the pipe.

Trenchless Sewer Repair Saves You Money

Trenchless Sewer Repair is less expensive than conventional repair, and that’s without taking the costs of restoration into account. It also comes with a 50-year warranty, which is about 5 to 10 times longer than the typical warranty on conventional sewer repair or replacement.

The Scottish Plumber has some of the most experienced technicians in the industry when it comes to Trenchless. We have done hundreds of such repairs all over Chicagoland, many of them in Skokie, so homeowners can rest easy knowing that the job will be done quickly and properly by a well-trained and experienced professional.

In this short video, we test the strength of the Pipe Stent using a sledgehammer and some elbow grease.
