Liner Method (Cured-in-Place Pipe – CIPP)

Process:

root intursion

Inspection & Cleaning:

The process begins with a thorough video inspection of the existing sewer line to assess its condition. The pipe is then cleaned to remove any debris, roots, or blockages.

Liner Insertion:

A flexible liner coated with a special resin is inserted into the existing pipe. This liner is typically made of a felt or fiberglass material.
epoxy repair

Inflation & Curing:

Once in place, the liner is inflated so that it presses against the inner walls of the pipe. The resin is then cured (hardened) using hot water, steam, or UV light, depending on the system used

Result:

After curing, the liner acts as a new pipe inside the old one, sealing any cracks, joints, and holes. This new pipe is durable and can last for several decades.

Pipe Bursting Method

Process:

cast iron

Initial Access Points:

Two small pits or access points are excavated at the ends of the pipe section that needs to be replaced

Bursting & Replacement:

The process uses a bursting head, which fractures the existing pipe while simultaneously pulling in a new pipe behind it. The new pipe can be made of materials like high-density polyethylene (HDPE)

Equipment Use:

A winch pulls the bursting head and new pipe through the old pipe. The bursting head is designed to break apart the old pipe and push outward, creating enough space for the new pipe.
