WHAT IS PIPE MILLING?

Pipe milling is the process of removing debris and buildup from the inside of your sewer pipes. It’s a technologically advanced process that doesn’t involve digging up your entire yard or replacing your entire sewer line.

The pipe milling process smooths the inside of your existing sewer pipe, bringing it closer to its original specifications. In other words, pipe milling makes an old or corroded pipe just like new. The smooth surface is essential for ideal operation of your sewer system. It also needs to be this way before placing a new sewer pipe liner, and it ensures there will be no obstructions for debris to catch on.

Along with buildup and debris, pipe milling can also clean up tree root intrusion, cement, corrosion, grease, scale, and rough pipe edges.

HOW DO YOU PERFORM PIPE MILLING?

At Bullseye Home Services, our in-house pipe milling team performs the process using the latest technology.

The milling machine is a tracked or wheeled crawler that slowly moves through your sewer line. It is fitted with cutters and tools, and our sewer in-house pipe milling team controls it remotely.  Our milling machine is also equipped with grinding chains that spin freely within the pipe. The chains spread out to the exact circumference of the sewer line.

The team is equipped with a high-definition camera so our local technicians can see exactly where the blockages are. The camera also allows us to see if there is a damaged pipe so we can stop the system before it gets lodged so we do not create an issue.

WHAT ARE THE MOST COMMON REASONS OUR TRENCHLESS SEWER REPAIR COMPANY RECOMMENDS PIPE MILLING?

There are many sewer pipe issues for which sewer pipe milling could be the perfect solution. Here are three of the most common.

1. TREE ROOTS

Nearby tree roots often intrude into sewer pipes. They are particularly common at the joints of clay pipes. While many plumbing companies suggest replacing the entire sewer line, our in-house sewer pipe milling can often remove the blockage without trenches and pipe replacement. Pipe milling used to remove tree roots saves you time and money. It is recommended to line the system after milling due to the roots still having access.

2. DESCALING

Over the years, cast iron sewer pipes tend to roughen due to scale and buildup. That makes it more likely to catch waste and debris, causing a messy sewage backup. Sewer pipe milling can resurface the cast iron, making it look and function like new.

3. CONCRETE AND BUILDING MATERIALS

At one time, if concrete or another building material got into your sewer line during home renovation or other DIY projects, the only choice was to replace the entire pipe. Fortunately, the technology and equipment used by our trenchless sewer repair company can crush through hardened concrete to open your sewer line.

WHY TRENCHLESS SEWER REPAIR WITH MILLING IS A GREAT CHOICE

Nobody wants their yard torn up, especially under their brand new tiles, remodeled bathrooms, etc. Digging a trench to reach a sewer line can be a muddy mess and an eyesore. When you choose sewer pipe milling to treat blockages in the line, no digging is required. That speeds up the process and keeps your yard and home intact. Nobody in the neighborhood will even know that you are having sewer line work done! Keep up with more plumbing tips for homeowners by following our blog!
