How Does Sewer Expansion Work And When Do You Need It?

Sewer expansion increases the capacity of a sewer system to accommodate bigger volumes of wastewater flow. It’s a major undertaking beyond regular sewer repair in Everett, WA. Depending on the situation, sewer expansion is achievable through traditional or trenchless methods.

The Need For A Sewer Expansion

Sewer expansion is necessary for an expanding household and larger wastewater capacity. It is also an important upgrade for an older sewer system, with bigger and better pipes for a longer life and durability. They are also an option in pre-move-in renovations to provide a new and more high-performance sewer.

Sewer expansion includes installing new bigger-diameter pipes that connect to larger municipal systems. This guarantees effective, increased capacity without causing backups or leaks. Digging trenches is often necessary to install larger pipes. If you’re using trenchless methods to upgrade the existing system it may be necessary to combine both methods.

Sewer expansion can also replace sewer line pipes that are already outdated or undersized. Older homes often have cast iron, clay, or galvanized pipes that soon corrode. They are often inadequate for modern plumbing appliances or additional bathrooms.

A full sewer line replacement is the only sure way for the proper installation of these new pipes. They are durable, capable of handling greater capacity, and compliant with local plumbing codes. It is also a priority before moving into a new home or when planning renovations.
