When sewer lines need repair, many homeowners worry about the disruption and cost of digging up their yard to access the pipes. At Zoom Drain Rhode Island, we specialize in trenchless sewer repair, a modern solution that eliminates the need for extensive excavation while delivering long-lasting results. Here’s how this innovative method works and why it might be the best choice for your home.

The Problem: Root Intrusion and Sewer Line Blockages

Tree roots are one of the most common causes of sewer line problems. Over time, roots can infiltrate older pipes through small cracks or joints, creating severe blockages that disrupt the flow and compromise the integrity of the system. Traditional sewer repair often involves digging trenches to access the damaged area, but trenchless solutions allow us to address these issues with minimal disruption.

Our Solution: Trenchless Cleaning and Root Removal

At Zoom Drain Rhode Island, we use advanced equipment and techniques to remove roots and restore flow without the need for excavation:

Snaking the Pipe: We start by using specialized drain snakes to break up root clusters and clear initial blockages. This creates an immediate improvement in flow and prepares the pipe for further cleaning.
Hydro-Jetting: Next, we employ hydro-jetting to thoroughly clean the inside of the pipe. High-pressure water scours the pipe walls, removing stubborn roots, debris, and years of accumulated buildup. This leaves the pipe clear and free of obstructions.
Applying Root Killer: To prevent future root growth, we apply a root-killer product. This treatment inhibits root regrowth, ensuring the problem doesn’t recur and extending the life of the pipe.

The Benefits of Trenchless Root Removal

No Yard Digging: Trenchless methods require only small access points, leaving your yard, landscaping, and driveways untouched.
Fast and Efficient: Most jobs can be completed in a single day, minimizing disruption to your daily life.
Cost-Effective: By avoiding excavation and landscaping restoration, trenchless solutions are often more affordable than traditional methods.
Long-Lasting Results: With hydro-jetting and root-killer treatment, your pipes stay clear and functional for years to come.

A Recent Success Story

We recently assisted a homeowner who had a sewer line that was severely clogged with multiple root clusters. The clay pipes were nearly impassable due to years of root infiltration. Using our trenchless techniques, we:

Snaked the line to break up the largest blockages.
Hydro-jetted the pipes to remove all remaining roots and debris.
Applied a root-killer product to prevent regrowth.

By the end of the day, the pipes were fully restored, and the homeowner’s system was back to normal without a single blade of grass disturbed.

When to Consider Trenchless Sewer Repair

Frequent backups or slow drains throughout your home.
Visible signs of sewer problems, like soggy patches or sinking areas in your yard.
A professional inspection reveals root intrusion or severe blockages.
