  • Patent number: 10180205
    Abstract: The invention relates to a sewer rehabilitation method, wherein a rehabilitation tool (5) is introduced, by means of a robot (2) that can be moved in a sewer main line (3) of a sewerage system, into a house sewer line (9) leading into said sewer main line (3), rehabilitation work is carried out in the house sewer line (9) by means of the rehabilitation tool (5), and the rehabilitation tool (5) is removed from the house sewer line (9) by means of the robot (2) once rehabilitation work is completed. The aim of the invention is to provide a viable and cost-effective sewer rehabilitation method and corresponding system enabling sewer rehabilitation work being carried out in the house sewer line (9) starting from the sewer main line (3).
