A main sewer line is the largest drain in your home. It is where other drain pipes deposit all the waste and the main sewer then connects to the city sewer line or septic tank. The main line may become clogged over time due to the debris of your household drains or even due to the tree roots that can penetrate from the surrounding soil. The clogging of the sewer line may cause all toilets and drains in the house to begin backup. At such times it is necessary to take professional help of plumbing contractors who can have their technicians perform an inspection of the sewer line to find the cause. A video camera inspection can help him understand the exact cause of the problem and present options to you to repair or replace the sewer line. There are several companies that provide sewer line replacement services in San Francisco.

When looking out for blockages caused in sewer line you may be amazed to find several causes. Sewer lines often break or crack due to shifting soil, frozen ground etc. There may be blockages caused due to grease buildup or a foreign object restricting the proper flow. Sometimes replacement of the line may become necessary if the condition of the pipe has deteriorated causing collapse of the line and restricting the flow. A very common cause is the roots of trees and shrubs invading the sewer line preventing a smooth flow and damaging the line.

Sewer line replacement in San Francisco can be done in two ways; using the traditional excavation method using a backhoe and the trenchless replacement method of pipe bursting. Using a backhoe the operator has to be highly skilled when excavating the old sewer line as. Operators may also be required to carry out some excavation of the line completely with hand to avoid any damage to the any area around the home. When replacing a sewer line the new line is laid along the trench for installation and cut to length at either end. Then the lines are connected with rubber coupling that are durable and reliable.

Another method preferred nowadays is trenchless sewer replacement which doesn't end up with destroyed driveways and parking lots. It causes less damage to the surrounding areas than the traditional open cut techniques. It a high performance alternative and helps save money. With pipe bursting the existing underground pipe is replaced with a new pipe of the same or larger inner diameter. In this system entrance and exit holes are required to be made where the new pipe can be pulled. The new pipe called as HDPE – High Density Plyethylene can be pulled through the old line using a pulling cable. The steel cable is then threaded through the old line with a steel bursting head attached to it. The new HDPE pipe is attached to the back of the bursting head. The hydraulic system then pulls the cable with the head and pipe attached. The new pipe moveson as the old pipe is broken and the pieces are pushed out into the surrounding soil. The new pipe is pulled all the way to the exit hole where the connection is made. Once  it is inspected the holes are filled in and you replacement process is complete.
