Sewer Line Repair & Replacement Chicago
In general, whether they are inner (for water) or outer (for gas), all types of pipelines are susceptible to breaking under high pressure (ground). However, a damaged sewer pipe is among the worst pipe faults one might encounter. Sewer pipe cracks not only require expensive repairs, but they also pose major health risks.

Relining pipes. We first clear out the old sewer line before installing the new lining, which takes a while to solidify. The new liner serves as a shield to stop pipe cracks.
Hydraulic Replacement for Burst Pipe. We might be able to pull a new sewer line through the old one if the damage to your sewer pipe is not too severe. With this method, the broken pipe is further disassembled using hydraulics, and the new pipe is flawlessly installed in its place.
Pipe maintenance. Regular pipe inspections and drain cleanings can assist keep large amounts of buildup and debris out of your pipes and prevent cracks, clogs, and bursts.
