What Is Sanitary Sewer Trenching?

Sanitary sewer trenching a sewer can be a week long process. While we could get it done in a couple of days like some other services, that would prevent us from properly taking care of your yard so you that you will have little to no debris to clean up after our team has completed the trenching process. Our competitors may plow through your yard and leave pits, trash, and other debris, but we care about you, your home, and your safety, which is why we take our time to ensure that the process is done right and that we leave your home as beautiful and safe as it was when we arrived.

When American Rooter Plumbing’s team of plumbers trench sewer drain lines, it is because of a couple faults in the system. The first fault in the plumbing system may be because the line is holding water. This is known as a “belly.” Drain lines should never hold water, they should drain—hence their name. Because we are the leader in replacing sanitary sewers, we know the only true way to replace a line that has a belly is to trench that line, or, at least, dig up that spot. Once that issue has been fixed, we can then consider bursting the rest of the line or lining it. Those are options that we will weigh out when we get to that point.

Another reason we may trench a sanitary sewer is because the system does not have adequate fall, or “pitch,” which can cause the line to have “backfall.” These are all interchangeable words in the plumbing industry, and again, there is only one way to resolve this issue, dig it up using the sanitary sewer trenching method.
