CIPP repair is a proven, yet surprisingly underseen approach to pipeline problems that might befall your commercial property. A pipe that bursts while carrying sewage, instead of fresh water, creates bigger issues. The chemicals and hazardous waste can seep into your ground water or garden. What is CIPP repair, how does it work, and can this piping technique save you time and money?
THE CURED-IN-PLACE PROCESS
CIPP repair deals with cured-in-place pipes and provides a trenchless, “no-dig” method. Contractors can create a resin bonding on the spot via a subtle entry point, with tools that can be slipped in where they need to be. This approach is an alternative to digging up sections of pipe using heavy machinery, which ultimately results in costly landscaping troubles. CIPP is a much better option than having to disturb the topsoil.
By using liquid resin in conjunction with a textile tube, a new pipe is installed inside of the damaged pipe. Next, the textile tube is coated in resin and then placed inside the old pipe. Compressed air gets the end of the textile pipe to the end of the section that needs to be replaced. Once the resin hardens into a plastic-like substance, you have a new, intact pipe inside the broken pipe that was already there. Essentially, CIPP is designed to be a step-by-step process, one that avoids unpredictable and unwanted hurdles during a job.
CIPP REPAIR VERSATILITY
When it comes to commercial properties, CIPP repair is a versatile process that saves time and money. Pipe problems can be fixed in as little as a day, provided the temperature is right for the resin to set. By repairing pipes in the ground instead of digging them up, you save on the amount of labor and damage. Digging out a length of pipe can ruin landscaping, flooring, even driveways and parts of homes if the methods are sloppy. CIPP is designed to be versatile for a number of pipe styles and locations. Both horizontal and vertical pipes can benefit from cured-in-place pipe repairs. CIPP contractors can use specific techniques to repair commercial properties like courthouses, schools, and other occupied locations.
