What Is CIPP pipe repair?
Because most plumbing is located either in the walls or underground, it can be difficult to access. Many homeowners and business owners may view excavation of grounds as the only means of repair for plumbing issues. However, the team at Arrow Sewer & Drain also offers trenchless pipe repair services like cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) pipe repair that are less disruptive.
CIPP is a trenchless pipe restoration method that allows professionals to make repairs to old, rusted, or otherwise damaged piping with no digging necessary. It is a method that may be suggested if:
- Your pipe is at least 80% intact
- Your pipe is corroded, cracked, leaky, offset, or weakened
- Your pipe is made of clay, cast iron, concrete, fiberglass, copper, plastic, or steel
CIPP relies on a textile liner tube and liquid resin to restore damaged pipes. We use robotic equipment to perform CIPP trenchless repairs. We start with preparing the pipe and liner. Once the liner has undergone the wet-out process, we attach it to the puller. The robot pulls the prepared liner into the pipe. We verify the liner’s position and use a curing agent to harden the resin within the liner. In a few hours, the resin cures, and we restore service to the pipe.
How Is CIPP Pipe Repair Performed?
Cured-in-place pipe lining installation begins with assessment. Professionals will come out and evaluate the state of the pipe to determine if CIPP is the right solution. Our teams utilize CCTV robotic camera systems to get a detailed view of the pipe in question. If the problem is a result of corrosion, cracks or leaks, or years of wear and tear, and the pipe is at least 80% intact, CIPP may be the best course of action.
CIPP pipe repair doesn’t require upheaval of your foundation or the surrounding soil, preserving your landscaping and preventing the need for extensive excavation. It involves:
- Shutting off access to the pipe and flushing out any debris left inside
- Preparing a textile liner by putting it through a wet-out process and attaching it to a puller
- Using a state-of-the-art robot to travel through the existing pipe and pull the liner to the damaged area
- Applying a liquid resin curing agent to the liner to harden and secure it in place
- Restoring service to the repaired pipe
What Are the Benefits of a CIPP Lining?
When dealing with complex home repairs, you want services you can count on. There are many reasons that CIPP is often recommended for homeowners, including:
Affordability
While excavation is sometimes necessary, the cost-effective nature of CIPP makes it an easy choice for homeowners who want a budget-friendly solution. Given that heavy machinery isn’t necessary, this alternative option helps get the job done without putting stress on your wallet. It also prevents the need for restoration of landscaping and hardscaping afterward, so you don’t have to spend extra money.
Convenience
The last thing you want is for a home repair to leave your space in shambles. Not needing to dig up your floors or yard makes this solution one that allows you to go about your days normally. It also preserves your landscaping that you’ve worked hard to perfect. In most cases, the team at Arrow Sewer & Drain can finish the job in only one day.
Long-Lasting Strength
Our textile liners are strong and dependable, meaning they are built to last. Pipes repaired with CIPP lining have a lifespan of 50 years, so homeowners will be able to put plumbing issues behind them. CIPP lining can also prevent tree root intrusion, which helps prevent further issues down the road.
Why We Recommend Pipe Lining
CIPP lining restores residential and commercial pipes. Its 50-year lifespan means you’ll never need to repair that pipe again. Pipe lining restores the pipe to a like-new condition and returns the pipe to its full capacity.
Common Issues That Require Pipe Lining
After decades of use, many pipes develop limescale. This hard, thick scale obstructs the pipe. CIPP involves removing the limescale and lining the pipe to prevent minerals from crystallizing. We also use CIPP to fix pipe leaks. CIPP also addresses corroded, cracked, leaky, offset, and weakened pipes.
Signs You Need CIPP
If you notice any of the following signs, your pipe may benefit from CIPP restoration:
- Pooled water in the yard, basement, or around the foundation
- Sewage backups
- Slow drains
- Foul drain odors
- Debris in water
- Discolored or cloudy water
- Vigorous lawn growth near the pipe’s path
- Mold or mildew
- Wet floors, walls, or slab
