Tips to Choosing the Right Pipe Repair Finding out that the pipes in your home or business need repair can be quite a daunting experience. You have to worry about how much time it will take to repair them, how long will you be without being able to use the pipe and of course, the main question, how much will it cost? There are three main steps you can focus on when choosing the right pipe repair solution to meet your particular requirements. Ensure you don't settle for second best, always look for the best quality services and the best possible prices. Camera Inspection You don't want the plumbers to leave a line of destruction behind them, so the best place to start is with a visual inspection of the pipe. You can start without the camera service, but then it's almost impossible for the plumbers to identify where the problem is. This means they will need to dig deep trenches right off the bat to find the problem area and start a repair process, based on your selection. A camera inspection should be carried out in HD (high definition). The aim of the camera inspection is to identify any deficiencies, confirm the diameter of the pipe and count the number of connections. This visual inspection can provide the plumbers with the information that they need to diagnose the problem and start working on a repair solution to meet your needs and budget. The camera inspection is an essential first step to choosing the right pipe repair solution based on your unique plumbing needs. Identify the Problem The plumbers you have chosen to assist you in identifying the problem with your pipes should now provide you with a detailed report and drawing based on the footage captured by the camera inspection. The report and drawing should provide you with insight on the pipe problems found and identified, so you can make the best informed decision on how to proceed. The plumbers should explain the report in detail, so you can now focus on the best pipe repair method to provide you with the best long term success.
Choose the Pipe Repair Method Your last step is to identify which repair method will work best for you based on the problem, the cost and the time you will be inconvenienced. Let's start by looking at the traditional pipe repair methods. Traditional methods are messy and very invasive. Unfortunately, these methods aren't only time consuming, but they’re also dangerous for the plumbers carrying out the work. The traditional methods requires deep trenches to be dug to access the pipes. The damaged pipe is then removed and replaced. The other method to consider is the new trenchless method which is carried out using CIPP (cured in place pipe) lining. This method requires patented epoxy resin to be used and pulled through the pipe via a manhole. This means there is no digging required. Once the lining is in place it is inflated to seal the interior of the pipe. With trenchless technology, a strong internal barrier is formed on the inside of the pipe which seals any leaks during the curing process. This also helps to provide a smooth surface, which increases flow rate. In addition to this, this lining offers reduced risk of corrosion or root invasion in the long run. The trenchless pipe repair can double the lifespan of your pipes. You will find the trenchless pipe repair method is considerably faster than the traditional methods and once the lining is cured, you can use the pipes as normal.
