Storm drain repair salvages your commercial pipes from a total shutdown. Since storm drains run underneath roadways and building foundations, small problems like gradual corrosion are a big concern. CIPP—cured-in-place-pipe repair—is a solution to commercial pipeline problems. This innovative, no-dig approach can keep a bad situation from turning worse.
For instance, storm drain failures can lead to soil erosion, surface settlements, and sinkhole formations. Any of these scenarios can affect nearby roads, homes, and commercial properties. The last thing you want is to endanger anyone.
A Safe Way to Repair Storm Drains
Storm drain pipe lining is a hallmark of CIPP repair. At Advanced Pipe Repair, our contractors will insert a fabric/felt tube into the damaged pipe. The purpose is to bond the old and the new segments with a specially formulated resin. To begin the process, our pipe repair specialists use a flexible video camera to get a clear picture of the damage. Once the assessment is over, the CIPP liner is inserted into the pipe.
Under normal circumstances, this movement will not require a large entry point. Instead, the contractor inserts the liner into the broken pipe through a utility hole or a similarly established access point. The result is a CIPP liner that runs along the inside of the broken pipe. The liner itself adheres to the host pipeline securely, sealing every piece together.
Generally, the bonding process only takes about half a day. For less intensive jobs, resin curing is faster with hot air, steam, or LED lights. A second video camera inspection will show the results of the CIPP repair. Once again, you can see the results for yourself and use them for insurance claims.
These repairs are designed for difficult-to-reach storm drain pipes. When time is of the essence, you want pipework that is safe and effective. After all, the finished product needs to be approved by the Department of Transportation before the waterworks can be restored. CIPP jobs have a good track record of approval. Advanced Pipe Repair believes in a swift response that will not require a follow-up.
Storm Drain Repair with Finesse
CIPP works well with storm drain repair due to its operative nature. Each contractor or pipe specialist can offer a solution to various issues. However, cured-in-place pipe repair stands out from traditional methods in many ways; finesse is one reason.
Thanks to video inspections, pipe repairs occur on the spot. A game plan changes everything, especially an in-depth one. In some ways, storm drain repair is surgical: contractors insert liners and tools in without the use of heavy machinery to make trenches. Cosmetically, this avoids extra landscaping costs. After all, obvious or messy work tends to make a property look bad. Ideally, a commercial location needs to look open and operational. This isn’t possible if there are piles of dirt and other eyesores around.
