Trenchless Pipe Repair & Replacement: The Future Of Plumbing Solutions
Trenchless pipe repair is a revolutionary advancement in pipe repair and replacement. What was previously messy and time-consuming is now performed as a minimally invasive process. It’s an efficient and cost-saving procedure that’s taking the plumbing industry by storm. Here’s why you should ask your plumber about trenchless pipe repair:
Welcome To The Future: Trenchless Pipe Repair
Trenchless pipe relining is a relatively new technology that makes use of a specialized pipe liner within your damaged pipe. The entire process can be performed from above the ground and removes the need for invasive digging and excavations. This means that your beautiful lawn doesn’t have to be destroyed to fix a broken pipe. Instead, a resin is used within the pipe liner to cure the pipe internally. As the resin dries, it forms a bond that can leave your pipe as strong, and often stronger than it was before getting damaged.
A Revolutionary Technology
An experienced plumber will use CCTV equipment to inspect your drainage system. This provides live footage of your pipes, and importantly, what is causing the damage. Whether it’s tree root damage or corrosion, the professional CCTV system will give a detailed synopsis of your underground pipes. Once the cause of the damage has been established, your plumber will flush out the drain with hydro jet technology. This clears out any obstruction, such as debris and any scale that may have been present in your pipe.
After your pipe has been cleaned, resin is poured into a custom-designed liner that is then fed into your drain. The pipe liner is rolled to ensure even distribution, and inserted into the damaged section of pipe. Inflated airbags are used to shape the liner to the walls, causing the epoxy resin to stick to the internal side of the drain. After a few hours, the resin cures, and your new pipe is formed. Finally, a CCTV inspection is conducted to ensure your new drain is as good as new.
Trenchless Pipe Repair Is Embracing The Future
Pipe relining contains several benefits that can improve the quality of your life and save you money.
It’s Excavation Free
Trenchless pipe relining is fast. While traditional repair methods involve digging and excavation, the majority of trenchless pipe repair and replacement projects don’t require weeks of excavations. It’s also quiet, unlike the noise created by excavating, and the methods used in trenchless pipe repair mean you can come home to a lawn just how you left it. You also won’t have to spend money and time on replacing plants that may have been removed. Trenchless repair technology can also be applied to selected slab leak repairs, saving you a major excavation headache.
It’s Safe & Environmentally Friendly
Ground excavation comes with associated risks to be aware of. Holes and trenches in your property pose as possible accident spots for both the young and the old. If you’re raising a toddler or child, the last thing you want is for them to fall into a hole. Remember that once the ground has been placed back into position, it may be prone to being unstable as it settles, causing an ongoing risk.
The digging up of old pipes can also harm the environment. Your front and backyard is home to an ecosystem. Birds, insects, plants, and microorganisms are all at risk in the event of an excavation. Trenchless pipe repair, on the other hand, is a sustainable option that removes the vast majority of environmental disturbance.
A Durable Solution
Trenchless pipe relining is strong and provides a durable pipe repair solution. The epoxy is cured in place, which means that a new pipe is formed within the old pipe, which greatly increases its strength. Traditional methods of pipe repair tend to offer more temporary solutions, leaving your pipes open to further damage in the future. The epoxy resin used means that you can look forward to an amazing 50-year lifespan in the areas that have been fixed. Going trenchless is also preventative and will minimize the likelihood of emergency drain blockages in your pipes.
Spend More On What Matters
Trenchless pipe repair helps to save you from lengthy and costly repair jobs. Going ahead with a traditional pipe repair could mean you’ll have to pay labor for a week or two. Along with heavy duty commercial equipment to hire, this all adds up. With trenchless pipe repair, you could save between 30-40% compared to traditional methods of pipe repair. Remember that an excavated lawn could come with the added expenses of a gardener to re-landscape. By opting for trenchless pipe repair, in the long run, you’ll have more money to spend on what matters. Those home improvements and renovations, or those vacations that you’ve been putting off for some time.
