No-dig pipe repair is a security measure for property managers. When a pipe system fails, the goal is to find quick but affordable services. Clogs and leaks appear without warning and often lead to hasty decisions to stop the damage from worsening. In such cases, some managers select traditional pipe restoration and maintenance because they are unaware of cured-in-place pipe methods.
Also known as CIPP, this approach makes traditional methods seem archaic. Cured-in-place refers to contractors applying patches and cementing them in one pass. By using special tools and techniques, contractors can also swap busted pipes with a replacement. By using different access methods, they can address almost any pipe issue without delays.
Special Tools for No-Dig Pipe Repairs
When using the CIPP blueprint, the contractor inserts a tool into a simple entry point. This access method differs from traditional repairs. In the past, trenches would give contractors a better way to diagnose the problem. But this meant that repairs were a separate step and that digging had to take precedence. Delays are almost guaranteed with traditional methods.
With no-dig pipe repair, contractors use special tools to extract a damaged pipe, including any smaller fragments or debris. At the same time, the tool is attached to a replacement pipe which is drawn into place. You won’t have to worry about risky procedures that put patrons or employees in harm’s way. Even the contractors are less at risk with CIPP.
The Secret of Slip-Liners
Slip-lining used to be the best-kept secret in the industry. However, liners make pipe repairs much easier to deal with, so this technique couldn’t stay hidden for long. After all, contractors can replace a busted pipe with this bonding application, often in under 24 hours.
CIPP slip-lining fastens sections together without the need to compromise the rest of the pipe system. In fact, slip-lining protects and strengthens any surrounding pipes. Best of all, the slip-lining process is accomplished via a small entry point, making this solution a no-dig pipe repair job.
Here’s how it works: once a pipe has a debris-free surface, the contractor inserts a liner into the pipe from the surface through a manhole. Now in place, the contractor injects the resin in and then cures the fabric liner to the pipe by using heat or ultraviolet light.
If the damage is in a hard-to-reach area, contractors can thread a flexible camera into pipes or utility holes to get a sense of where the liner needs to go. Advanced Pipe Repair specializes in being prepared. Our contractors work to simplify every step, which is easy to do with CIPP.
No-Dig Pipe Repair
Advanced Pipe Repair’s CIPP procedures are eco-friendly for commercial properties. In fact, most CIPP pipe repair cases eliminate the need for tearing up the grounds. Instead of contractors having to physically enter human-made tunnels, cured-in-place work allows a workaround. Contractors can determine where a clog or leak is without endangering the environment. Accidental damage is a common precursor to chemical leaks, flooding, and other disasters. Pipe repairs can easily go wrong without a good approach. The last thing you want is fines due to spillage.
