Planting trees is an excellent way to enhance the appearance of commercial and residential properties. They provide shade, increase ventilation, and beautify the space. However, tree roots spread as they grow, penetrating and destroying pipelines that carry water, sewage, and other substances to and from properties.
Also known as root intrusion, these roots damage pipes over time, resulting in leaks and cracks in critical pipe systems. Root intrusion repair varies from basic to complex, and the extent will depend on the tree’s size and the size of the damaged pipes. Fortunately, experts can perform trenchless pipe repair to restore pipe systems to their pre-damage.
Trenchless Pipe Repair
Trenchless pipe repair is an innovative option for businesses and homeowners who want to avoid downtime and bounce back as soon as possible. Often, damaged pipe systems spell water and sewer outages that can prove challenging. They force businesses to close due to inaccessibility, which can even make a home inhabitable.
No property manager wants to suffer the damage aftermath or months of repair that allows contractors to unearth dirt and cement during trenching. With modern technology, experts can solve root intrusion with machines that do the legwork.
In no-dig repair scenarios, repair crews use new and advanced tools to repair pipelines and even assess the extent of damage. After zoning in on the damage, experts insert robot arms to clean the area and cut the offending roots. It is an ideal solution because the whole process is minimally invasive, and there is less damage to the tree. Trenchless pipe restoration also helps avoid damaging sidewalks and roads.
CIPP is Ideal for Root Intrusion
After cutting the roots and stopping their penetrative action, the pipe still needs repair. Cured-in-place pipe repair involves impregnating the damaged line with epoxy, expanding it to fit against the pipe’s inner walls, and curing with heat or UV light. The procedure creates a pipe within a pipe, so that experts don’t remove anything from underground after the repair.
