How Does Drain Pipe Lining Work?

Drain pipe lining is a solution to a priority problem. Drain breakdowns can be dangerous when it comes to the health and wellness of employees and customers. Property managers will want to address a leak or section break immediately. If they don’t, there is a high risk of further damages, higher repair costs, and various outside expenses they didn’t anticipate.

For example, unchecked drains can develop into a situation that you can’t ignore. Foundational slab problems are unfortunately common whenever the property owner fails to schedule a check-in. While most commercial properties have several aspects that need attention, it’s critical that you make time. Otherwise, you might run into an unfixable scenario – or at least one that will eat up your funds.

The lesson here is that solutions are available. There’s no need to put off drain pipe lining whenever the need for repairs arises. This is a thought-out procedure that your contractor can apply with confidence.

Commercial Pipes and Drains

Every commercial system is different. For example, warehouses can have simpler pipe and drain layouts that are easier to monitor. Other systems, like multi-unit apartment buildings, tend to be harder to reach and can pose problems.

Advanced Pipe Repair has techniques to deal with them, no matter what the layouts are. Drain pipe lining can save you so many headaches that are associated with commercial pipe repairs. APR prefers to do an informed job and one that has a clear direction. 

Expert Pipe Repair Planning

When it comes to pipe repairs, video inspections allow contractors to approach jobs with extra insight. For example, many pipe openings are too small to be inspected manually, or without tearing up the landscape. Video inspections eliminate this issue. The camera itself is snake-like, flexible enough to bend around corners. Hard-to-reach sections are no longer a hurdle that requires extra measures. 

A video inspection can record important details within your pipes. The video can be paused and shared as needed. This makes the approach more reliable. The footage helps to plan the repair process. In addition, the footage is perfect for preparing insurance documents. 

As we review the inspection video and report, our team will make recommendations. This can be anything from a brief explanation to a detailed conversation. We want to make sure the direction is absolutely clear. This way the outcome will be a positive expectation for our clients. 

Drain Pipe Lining Methods

This procedure is closely affiliated with CIPP, an innovative technique that uses a no-dig process to strengthen existing drainpipes. Defined as “cured-in-place pipe repair,” this approach is designed to simplify pipework. Here’s how it works: the contractor inserts a long fabric/felt tube into the damaged pipe and then bonds the old and new segments together with a specially formulated resin. 

Once the work has cured, the waterworks can be reactivated without leaks or blockages. Not only does this fix the problem at hand, but your pipeline system is now reinforced. CIPP work can last up to 50 years, much longer than traditional patchwork attempts. 

After all, drain pipes will crack and collapse over time, so it’s better to safeguard them. Corrugated drains can corrode and fall prey to sand infiltration, soil erosion, and other unpleasant issues like foul odors. Advanced Pipe Repair’s team can add a few extra lives to your commercial property with just a simple procedure.

Drain Pipe Lining Plus More

CIPP maintenance is a modern way to keep your pipelines under control. Even common issues are fixable with cured-in-place methods. Pipe clogs due to improper items being introduced into the water system are no longer a weeklong ordeal. Cracked pipes, tree root-related clogs–no matter what type of drain issue your commercial property is prone to, the team at APR can operate in a surgical way.
