You never think about your building’s pipes until something goes wrong. And when something does go wrong, it can be hard to decide what to do about it. Is it a leak? Root damage? Rust? One highly effective way to fix or prevent these issues is called CIPP, or Cured In Place Pipe. And the best way to get top CIPP results is to start with video inspection.
CIPP
A CIPP pipe is a seamless, flexible tube. A repair specialist can insert this tube into an existing pipe. He or she will then heat the pipe until the CIPP tube forms a tight seal. This process reinforces old pipes and repairs damage. Advanced Pipe Repair can place CIPP into all sorts of pipes including sewer lines and water pipes. CIPP is a trenchless service, meaning that it requires no digging. Instead, a technician will insert the CIPP from the pipe’s entrance. No digging means saved time. In fact, CIPP can sometimes fix pipe problems in as little as one day.
Video Inspection
If CIPP means no digging, how does Advanced Pipe Repair determine the problem? They start with a video inspection. A video inspection can help you get the most out of your CIPP results. The camera reveals any places where a pipe may have burst, cracked, or rusted. After the inspection, you receive your own copy of the footage.
A video inspection has several benefits. Primarily, it gives the repair specialist an idea of the pipe’s angles. However, it also determines blockages and other challenges that the specialist may face when installing CIPP. It reveals exactly what the problem is giving the specialist an idea on how to proceed.
Last of all, a video inspection even helps determine whether CIPP is the right choice for your pipes. Generally, CIPP is a long-lasting, relatively easy solution for most pipe problems. However, in a few cases, CIPP may not be the best choice. If the pipe has burst in multiple places, for example, it may require an alternate solution. With a video inspection, you’ll know for sure that you are making the right decision for pipe repairs.
