Storm Sewer Repair & Replacement

Repair Vs Replacement

A storm sewer repair involves fixing specific issues within an existing drainage system while keeping most of the original infrastructure in place. This can include sealing cracks, patching small sections of damaged pipe, removing blockages, repairing joints, or restoring catch basins and inlets. Repairs are typically used when the damage is localized and the overall system is still in good condition, making it a more cost-effective and less invasive solution.

A storm sewer replacement, on the other hand, involves removing and installing new components when the existing infrastructure is too damaged, deteriorated, or outdated to function properly. This may include replacing long sections of pipe, entire runs, or multiple structures like catch basins and manholes. Replacement is usually necessary when repairs are no longer sufficient to ensure proper drainage, long-term reliability, and compliance with current codes.
