When Arlington Heights homeowners and businesses need professional sewer replacement services, they turn to Plumbers 911 Chicago. We've been serving the Arlington Heights community and surrounding Cook County neighborhoods with expert plumbing solutions backed by licensed, bonded, and insured technicians.
When a sewer camera inspection reveals that your Arlington Heights home's sewer lateral is beyond repair — collapsed sections, widespread root damage, Orangeburg pipe deterioration, or multiple offset joints — sewer replacement is the permanent solution. We offer both traditional excavation and trenchless sewer replacement methods, choosing the best approach for your specific situation, property layout, and budget.
Sewer Replacement Methods
Traditional Excavation — Digging a trench to expose and replace the old sewer pipe with new PVC. This method provides complete access for inspection, allows correction of grade/slope issues, and is often the most cost-effective option for shorter runs or shallow pipes.
Pipe Bursting (Trenchless) — A hydraulic machine pulls a new HDPE pipe through the old pipe, simultaneously breaking apart the old pipe. Minimal surface disruption — typically requires only two access pits (one at each end). Ideal for straight sewer runs without major direction changes.
Pipe Lining (CIPP — Cured-in-Place Pipe) — An epoxy-saturated liner is inserted into the existing pipe and inflated, creating a new pipe within the old one. Minimal disruption and no excavation required for straight, structurally sound pipes that have cracks, joint separation, or root intrusion points.
Spot Repair — When damage is limited to one section of an otherwise sound sewer line, we can excavate and replace just the damaged portion. This is the most economical option when the rest of the pipe is in good condition.
