Clay Sewer Pipe Replacement

• In most cases, a professional plumber can be
  trusted when in need of sewer repair. Replacement
  is a huge cost, and is unavoidable unfortunately.
  It's important to note that before a property is
  sold, the owner has to report any potential
  issues to buyers, so it's smart to get it taken
  care of and avoid any drama.
• When it comes to Clay Sewer Pipe Replacement,
  it's important to shop around for the best deal.
  One should also make sure any contractor is
  bonded, licensed, and has references that can be
  checked. Expect most bids to be thousands so
  there is no shock.
• History of Piping
• First off, if there is any clay pipe it needs to
  be removed. Cleaning is never a good option and
  will only delay the inevitable which is
  replacement. Use of copper sulfate or rock salt
  is not a great idea as it will create more work
  by the owner having to remove the tree
  permanently, and then fix up the yard.

• Clay sewer pipe has not been used for a very long
  time, as joints were packed by mortar and
  movement of the soil breaks them with ease along
  with tree roots. They are just not a smart
  choice, of course builders had no way of knowing
  this decades ago.
• After clay pipes, came iron and they featured a
  similar bell joint to the clay pipes. They were
  joined using hemp oil and molten lead. Though the
  joint was stronger, it still didn't withstand the
  eventual movement of earth. After clay and iron,
  no hub cast iron and rubber couplings with steel
  bands were used.
• Downsides of Trenchless Sewer Repair
• While being the perfect option to other methods
  for clay sewer pipe replacement, there are some
  downfalls to trenchless sewer repair. If the
  company is fairly new and not knowledgeable about
  how to pass inspection, it may become a headache
  that no one wants. One of the main concerns is
  pooling water at a low spot in the line.
  Trenchless sewer repair is still the most
  cost-effective and least disruptive method today.

• Other issues are deflection and sag which cause
  concerns. Experienced crews know what deflections
  in the current line can be taken out, but it
  depends largely on soil conditions, and the
  degree of deflection. A less brutal soil like
  sand allows for deflections to be removed but
  soil like shale is not so kind.
