We Specialise in Trenchless Sewer Replacement -No Dig Technology

PRWEB Press Release June 27, 2008
Magic Plumbing San Francisco is now performing Trenchless Sewer Installations in San Francisco with the approval of the Department Of Building Inspection.



Magic Plumbing installs approximately 200 sewer lines every year.

A large quantity of those are Trenchless Sewer Replacement-No Dig applications.

Sewer Replacement -Trenchless Plumbing -No Dig Sewer Line Replacement doesn't mean destroyed yards, ruined driveways or devastated parking lots. The Magic Trenchless non invasive repair methods result in less damage than traditional open cut techniques. Trenchless pipe replacement is the high performance alternative to costly ongoing maintenance or temporary lining methods.

How does it work?
Magic Plumbing uses the Tric Trenchless Plumbing -No Dig system, which works by digging two holes, one where the sewer exits the building and the other at either the property line or in the street where it connects to the mainline. A steel cable is then threaded through the old sewer pipe and a hardened steel bursting head is attached to one end of the cable. The new polyethylene pipe is then attached to the back of the bursting head. At the other end the TRIC hydraulic system is set up which pulls the cable. Once the system has been set up and turned on the operator uses a remote control to "pull" the cable with the head and pipe attached down into the hole at the side of the house. It then pulls the new HDPE pipe through the old pipe breaking it and pushing the pieces out into the surrounding soil. The new pipe gets pulled all the way to the exit hole where the connections are made, it is inspected and then the holes filled in.

Trenchless Sewer Replacement How much does it cost?
It all depends on the location. Depending on the hardscape (What's above the pipe being replaced), the price might range between $100 and $200 per foot.

Is it cheaper than just having my sewer line dug up and replaced? Usually. Much of the cost of a sewer replacement job is in the restoration of the property that had been dug up. The TRIC trenchless system helps greatly in minimizing restoration costs and the savings can be passed down to you.

How long does it take?
The actual "pulling" or bursting of the old pipe usually takes less than one hour but sometimes a little longer. The entire job from preparation of the holes to making the final connections is often done in a few days.

What type of pipe do you use?
Our trenchless system primarily uses HDPE or High Density Polyethylene Pipe as the replacement pipe. This pipe is superior to other traditional pipe such as clay, cast iron or pvc plastic piping. HDPE pipe is inherently corrosion resistant, leak tight because the pipe is fused or melted together where the joint is stronger than any other part of the pipe, and highly flexible. For trenchless installation it is the pipe of choice.

What is the difference between this process and just having my sewer replaced with traditional methods?
The biggest difference is that the trenchless sewer installation system minimizes destruction to your landscaping and hard surface areas such as driveways and concrete. By only digging two small access holes the process preserves what otherwise would have to be dug up and replaced by traditional methods of pipe replacement.

How long does the new HDPE pipe last?
HDPE pipe has an estimated life of well over two hundred years.

What is the warranty on a sewer replacement done this way with HDPE pipe?
We guarantee the pipe will not fail in your life time.

Sewer Replacement, here is an actual trenchless sewer installation.

Magic Plumbing replaced the existing underground pipe by digging small entry and exit holes at the beginning and end of the damaged pipe.

New pipe is pulled under the street. One continuous length, no joints the Tric Hydraulic 40 Ton Ram pulls new pipe underground

 One continuous length, no joints

The hydraulic ram pulled the new pipe through the damaged pipe underground using a steel cable and a splitting wedge, breaking the old pipe apart to accommodate the new HDPE pipe. One continuous length of pipe is installed free of joints under buildings, trees, driveways and roads without digging a trench.
