WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT
PRIVATE SEWER LATERALS
Private and new sewer laterals are the pipes that lead from homes or businesses to the sewer main. Normally, the costs of replacing or repairing private sewer laterals are the responsibility of the property owner. It is also the responsibility of the property owner to clean, maintain, and replace their private sewer lateral. Many of the Oakland sewer lateral pipes are old and are at risk of leaking raw sewage into the ground, causing plumbing problems in your home or business and contributing stormwater inflow to the sewer system during wet weather. Tree root intrusions, grease buildup, pipe cracks, and pipe sags can all compromise private building laterals.

REPLACE SEWER LINES WITHOUT DAMAGING YOUR PROPERTY
Although Challenge Rooter has served the plumbing needs of the local community for many years, we continually adopt new technologies for the benefit of our customers. We specialize in trenchless, no-dig technology for Oakland, CA, sewer replacement. Trenchless methods are particularly efficient for replacing and repairing sewer drain pipes. We also utilize this technology for water line replacement.
THE BENEFITS OF TRENCHLESS SERVICE
The traditional method of sewer drain pipe replacement involves digging up the old pipe to install the new one. This is a labor intensive process that requires excavation of the yard. When the problem with the line is in a difficult position, such as under a large tree, house, or road, the process can become quite expensive and create substantial damage. Trenchless sewer repairs allow our experts to provide replacements with far less work and mess.

THE TWO TYPES OF SEWER PIPE REPAIR
While many companies simply offer one type of sewer pipe repairs, Challenge Rooter is one of only a select few that offer two different types of trenchless sewer line services. This means we can offer trenchless pipe repairs on sewer lines in nearly any condition. Whether your line has corroded to the point where it can’t be repaired or it’s too weak to withstand even so much as a hydrojetting service, you can count on us to fix the issue without having to dig a huge trench in your property.
Let’s take a look at some of the important differences between these two types of trenchless pipe repairs.
OPEN TRENCH METHOD
The most common way to perform a new sewer lateral installation is through an open-cut trench. During open-cut trench excavation, workers dig a ditch to manually install and connect each pipe piece.
The team at Challenge Rooter specializes in trenching and digging. This method involves excavating the ground to create trenches or ditches that serve various purposes, such as pipe laying and utility line placement. Trenching and digging allow for the quick and accurate installation of underground utilities, ensuring the seamless and safe operation of sewer, water, gas, and electricity. It also makes it easier to put in drainage systems, which keeps water from building up and causing damage.
Excavation is the process of digging or trenching the ground to create a narrow, deep path or hole in construction. Challenge Rooter frequently employs the trenching method for new sewer lateral installations. Trenching requires specialized equipment, including trenchers and excavators, to ensure efficient and precise digging. In some cases a team of workers and shovels often performs the extremely laborious task of trenching.
WhAT IS THE PIPE BURSTING TECHNIQUE
Pipe bursting is a process that physically tears apart your current sewer line while simultaneously replacing it with a new one. This process uses a specialized tool known as a bursting head—an extremely hard, cone-shaped metal tool that’s slightly wider than the diameter of your sewer line. This tool is attached to a high-power winch on one side and to a flexible, durable replacement sewer line on the other. When the winch is turned on, it slowly pulls the bursting head through your old sewer line, causing it to literally tear apart while underground.
As it pulls through, it leaves the new sewer line in its place, creating a new sewer line in place of the old one, but without the old one still having to serve as the structure for the new one.
Pipe bursting is more versatile than pipe relining. This type of trenchless sewer replacement can fix a wider variety of issues, including corroded or collapsed lines, brittle lines, and plenty more. It still can’t fix any shifted soil or improper slope, but it can be used for more sewer line replacement services than a pipe relining service can.
