When you’re looking at options on pipe replacement, you have several choices. Most of them, however, boil down to whether no-dig pipe replacement or a total pipe replacement is better. No-dig refers to new technology where pipe repair companies can restore or rehabilitate damaged pipes. It can be done without large excavations. That’s a dream for property owners who don’t want their floors or driveways dug up. Each pipe repair method has its advantages. With excavation, you can install completely new pipes. However, that’s not always necessary. New no-dig pipe replacement technology can make your old pipes as good as new without digging. Let’s take a look at how long each takes to complete.
Traditional Pipe Repair
Traditional pipe repair usually runs longer than no-dig pipe replacement. That’s because you have to deal with getting certain permits before any digging can begin. If your pipes run into the street, you have to get approval to dig, and you must take responsibility for any traffic disruption in the area. Where your pipes are located has a huge impact on how long traditional pipe repair takes. If you have to dig through layers of wood, concrete, or pavement, then it’s going to take much longer than it would otherwise.
No-Dig Pipe Replacement Timelines
No-dig pipe replacement typically can be done much faster than traditional pipe repair because no digging is required. Technicians use a variety of technological tools to pinpoint pipe damage and determine the extent of necessary repairs. With cured in place piping, or CIPP, a tube is inserted into the damaged pipe and filled with resin. Once in place, the resin is pushed out onto the walls of the damaged pipes. It hardens, forming a new pipe within a pipe that will last for years and function like a total replacement would.
