Best Methods for Under Building Storm Drainage Systems

Drainage systems located under commercial infrastructure can be challenging to accommodate. Much like any other type of pipelining systems, these have needs and could fall prey to repair requirements. Under building storm drainage systems are not exempt from maintenance and repairs, and because of their positioning, they can be much harder to reach.

There are many updated and advanced technologies. It has become much easier to make these repairs without having to dig beneath the surface to reach the pipes.

Understanding Under Building Storm Drainage

The storm drainage systems that lie beneath buildings are aged and will continue to need repairs. Many of these infrastructures are made with materials like concrete, cast iron, clay, or steel. What they are made with depends on when they were placed and what was available or popular at that time.

No system is unaffected by time, moisture, and the aging process. These structures will crack, split, corrode, and rust. And at some point, they could fail completely. As they weaken, they are susceptible to things like sand, soil erosion, settlement, and sinkholes.

Because of their placement beneath the ground and beneath these huge structures, you often don’t know there is a problem until it’s a major issue. The problem comes in the form of collapse, blockages, or failures that can then affect nearby homes, commercial and industrial properties, and even the roads.

While you can make repairs as needed, you have to incorporate some sort of process to monitor and manage the needs. You can also be proactive with the use of storm drain pipe lining to help protect the drainage systems.

Storm Drain Pipe Lining

The best solution for repairs, as well as being proactive to protect these systems, is CIPP – cured in place piping. This technology uses an innovative approach to line the pipes, repairing damage and adding a protective layer to them all at the same time. It’s a reliable solution for any type of pipelining system and it can last more for than 50 years.

CIPP uses a thin liner that can be inserted into even large-diameter piping systems without the need for digging. The innovation allows repairs and proactive protection without extensive downtime or invasive trenching protocols.

The lining tube is placed into the pipe and then cured using UV technology. The curing process takes a matter of hours so that nearby properties and businesses aren’t affected by massive downtime.

And it’s built to last. It’s a reliable solution for even the hardest places to get to for repairs.
