Technology is continuously improving. This is especially true in the case of Cured-in-Place Piping, or CIPP. While the CIPP process has been popular for the last several years, there’s a new and evolving trend that we’re excited to share with you. This new trend is using Ultraviolet (UV) or Light-Emitting Diodes (LED) as part of the CIPP process. Both of these techniques result in safer, faster, and more reliable CIPP repairs. Let’s take a look at how LED CIPP is the wave of the future.
LED CIPP is Safer
First, it’s a much safer process than traditional CIPP. This is because automated devices are used to complete most of the dangerous work. While trained plumbing experts will control the robots, they are able to do so without risking injury or illness. Additionally, the process uses ultraviolet lights to cure the pipe work. This eliminates the need for dangerous chemicals. As an added bonus, not using chemicals means there is no risk to the environment.
LED CIPP is Faster
Second, the curing happens much faster than it used to. In fact, it’s done at the speed of light. By using ultraviolet lighting, pipes are cured at up to 7 meters in 7 minutes. This is rapid speed when compared to traditional CIPP repairs that require a few hours to an entire day to cure, depending on the method that’s used. No more waiting for steam, water, or ambient room temperatures to dry the resin. Less time spent waiting means more time for your business to make money!
It’s More Reliable
Finally, LED CIPP provides the best possible pipe repair scenario for all involved. Customers, contractors, and the community at large are not inconvenienced. This is the case because of how efficiently pipe repair work can occur. When work can be done quickly, easily, and without human error, everyone wins. Less time on the process means less risk for all parties.
