How Does Pipe Lining Work?

Once we receive your call and learn about your problem, we can get to fixing your issue asap.

First we will use an advanced camera, pushed into the pipe, at an accessible point, to discover the exact position of the crack or leak and scope of the repair. From the inspection we can ascertain whether the pipes need cleaning, a sectional repair, or a full length liner with out the need for drilling or digging.

If needed:

Trenchless repair, also called Cured In Place Pipe (CIPP) or No-Dig, uses a pipe lining method to restore your pipe. A felt and/or fiberglass tube is cut specific to your pipes' length and diameter. Then, a specially mixed epoxy resin is used to saturate the felt tube. The tube is vacuumed to remove all air and replace the air space with the resin. The tube is installed via air pressure and kept inflated with a secondary sleeve. The resin is cured after a few hours, and the secondary sleeve is deflated and removed, with the newly formed pipe left installed inside of the old. This new pipe immediately restores water flow. All installations are held to ASTM-F1216 standards with a 50 year design life.
