Tips on Preparing Your Home for Trenchless Pipe Repair

While trenchless pipe repair in Boston, MA, is less invasive than traditional methods, it still pays to make the necessary preparations before the project. At New England Pipe Restoration, rest assured we will do our best to keep disruptions to a minimum and finish the job without a hitch. We share helpful tips on getting your home ready for trenchless services:

Eliminate Obstructions

We won’t dig up your yard to access and replace the affected pipes during repairs. Instead, we will use access points known as cleanouts to insert our epoxy-soaked liner. That said, remove any obstructions around these points, like cars, toys, pots, and outdoor furniture. Doing so gives us space to set up our equipment for trenchless pipe lining.

Check Local Codes

Although we are up-to-date with all legal requirements, it’s better to do your due diligence and confirm that the local municipality accepts trenchless pipe replacement and repair. You may also ask and secure the necessary permits for the project.

Collect Enough Water

We will need to turn off the water supply as we work on your pipes. While in most cases, we can finish the job in a day, it may take longer than expected if the problem is too severe. That said, collect enough water for your household tasks if you plan to stay in your home. You may also consider staying with a friend or booking a hotel until the trenchless sewer repair is done.

Clean the Drains

To save more time for trenchless sewer replacement or repair, it’s best to have your drains thoroughly cleaned and remove any pipe obstructions a few days before the project. You can book a separate appointment with our team and take advantage of our drain cleaning services.
