Why Trenchless Technology Remains Firm Favorite for Pipe Repair Pipe repair can be very expensive, especially if you choose the traditional methods of repair. The good news is that there is an alternative which works on all drain and sewer lines including your main lines, sanitary systems, storm drains, vent systems, waste systems and more. Trenchless technology has become one of the top choices for effective pipe repair around the world. But what makes this a leading choice? Before we start discussing trenchless technology, lets take a closer look at traditional pipe repair methods, so you can weigh the two up against each other and make an informed decision in the long run. Traditional Pipe Repair Traditional pipe repair can be a frustrating and exhausting experience. It is also the most expensive pipe repair solution. With traditional methods, a large team of plumbers will come to your property and dig deep trenches in your yard using expensive machinery. Once the trenches are dug they identify the damaged pipes and replace them, before filling up the trenches. Any paving and landscaping damaged during this process is the client’s responsibility. Traditional methods can take a long time depending on the pipe or pipes that are damaged and require replacement. Trenchless Technology for Pipe Repair Trenchless technology is constantly growing as a fast, effective and affordable pipe repair solution. Trenchless technology relies on patented CIPP (cured in place pipe) lining which is pulled into place (PIP) and cures inside the pipe. CIPP lining takes place in three easy steps, which includes the cleaning of the pipe to remove dirt and debris followed by the lining process. Once completed, the pipe and lining are evaluated and clients start using their pipes again with confidence. There is no need for physical pipe replacement.
Trenchless technology is very easy to understand. Simply put, the CIPP lining is inserted inside the pipe to create a strong and durable internal barrier, reducing the need to replace the pipe, but rather to repair it in an efficient and effective manner. This process is economical and efficient. With traditional methods, you have a large workforce digging deep trenches and taking a fair amount of time to complete the project. With trenchless technology you have a smaller team who take a fraction of the time to complete the work, which means you save considerably on labor. In addition to this, trenchless technology for pipe repair ensures the pipe enjoys a better than new condition. In fact, if you have copper pipe installed in your home, it often comes with at least a fifty-year guarantee. Once you have used CIPP lining to line your pipes and repair them, the pipe will enjoy another fifty years of life moving forward. Further, CIPP lining can be used to repair pipes made of numerous materials including clay, concrete, metal, iron, steel, PVC and fiberglass. Being able to work on so many different materials, you can rest assured that you will find the right trenchless technology to carry out your pipe repair with complete confidence. Trenchless technology is non destructive, therefore you save money when it comes to repairing landscaping and paving. In most cases, the plumbing team is able to access the pipe through manholes, meaning no deep trenches in your yard. It's cleaner, it's more effective and it's a faster pipe repair method. Using this method of pipe repair can reduce the need for businesses to close during the repair process and reduces the risk of pipe shutdown. In addition to this, it's innovative and a longterm solution that rehabilitates your pipes into a better than new condition.
