No-dig pipe repair is an advantage, no matter what type of situation you’re dealing with. Not every pipeline is going to be located deep underground, but it’s the idea that counts. This is about convenience, making pipe repair approaches better and more effective on every level.
Sewer pipes, vertical drains, storm drains, and chiller pipelining might be part of your scenario. For commercial properties, any of the above can break down, clog, or leak. With a no-dig repair method like CIPP (cured-in-place pipe), your contractor can return a system to ideal conditions.
No-Dig Pipe Repair for Sewer Pipes
While sewer pipes are made to last, there’s no doubt that they can take a beating. Slowed or completely stopped-up pipes are an unfortunate occurrence, but not an entirely unexpected one. In some situations, water and solids will gradually slow flows down, which can lead to costly sewer spills.
However, with no-dig repairs, you can avoid overflows, backups, and flooding damage. For example, a contractor can use hydro-jetting to clear sewer pipes of any invasions should you begin to notice odors or malfunctions in performance. Rest assured, a high-pressure blast of water (between 3,000 and 8,000 psi of pressure) ensures positive results.
Vertical Drains & Pipelines
Vertical drains and pipelines might be trickier to work on, but certain approaches help reduce these obstacles. For instance, “snaking” allows the contractor to slip into hard-to-reach or lengthy sections.
Basically, a long piece of steel with a coiled end is inserted into the pipe. This can clear a variety of pipe obstructions, including plants, rodents, and other debris. Whenever possible, using no-dig solutions to complete repairs is the right way to rehabilitate your vertical pipelines.
As a result, you can strengthen the overall structural health of your building. Along with this reinforcement, you don’t have to worry about cosmetic damages. Advanced Pipe Repair will leave you with a solid, functional, and visibly intact system.
Storm Drains
Over time, concrete storm drains will crack and collapse. Corrugated storm drains will corrode. If unchecked, these failures can lead to sand infiltration, soil erosion, and sinkhole formations. These are factors that you want nowhere near your commercial properties.
CIPP strengthens existing drainpipes by focusing on the problem, not the surrounding landscape. No-dig means exactly that: a surgical process that can save your storm drains from disaster. For example, contractors can insert a long fabric/felt tube into the damaged sections and bond the old and new segments with a specially formulated resin.
Once the work has cured, your drains will work like new. CIPP repairs are designed for load-bearing applications that run under roadways, so the impact of a storm drain is no different from other types. APR contractors know which procedure to apply in such situations.
Chiller Pipelining
Chiller pipelining is often susceptible to inner pipe and corrosion. Inadequate water treatment protocol is a common mistake, especially when pipes are buried inside concrete walls or beneath floors. Still, bad accessibility does not eliminate the need for maintenance or replacement parts.
CIPP liners will strengthen the existing pipe. A pipe-within-a-pipe allows for greater flow and strength. Once completed, your rejuvenated pipes could last for years before needing to be replaced again.
