In the world of piping and plumbing, there are a lot of terms that you can encounter. If you aren’t familiar with the different terms and what they mean, it can be confusing. One term you will likely be hearing more is UV piping.

But what is UV piping, and what does it really mean? Take a look below to learn more.

The Basics of UV Piping

When you hear this term, the “UV” is the significant part of the equation. UV refers to ultraviolet technology. It’s not about sun exposure or UV rays from the sun in this case.

Instead, it’s a piping solution that utilizes ultraviolet technology to create a simplified approach. The best part of this approach? It’s trenchless, so heavy digging and excavating become irrelevant.

How UV Pipe Solutions Work

The UV concept can differ from brand to brand. In most cases, it is a lining that is put into place and then sealed through a UV curing process. At Advanced Pipe Repair, we use UV CIPP technology so that the UV lining is placed into piping systems as needed.

Then, the UV process cures the tube lining placed. The effect is a sturdy surface that provides a seal against things like leaks or holes that exist in the pipeline.

It is far less invasive than your typical piping systems. Thanks to the compact nature of the tools and the ability to place them without digging, you have simplified approaches that are quick and efficient.

UV piping can last for decades.

Top Benefits of UV Piping

Technology continues to advance over time, leading to better results as well. The plumbing industry has changed significantly. Our solutions require no trenching and digging in most cases.

The utilization of UV solutions also made the cured in place system safer and more reliable. UV allows us to make the same repairs without the use of harmful chemicals.

There are many different benefits to using UV technology for your pipeline needs. It may be something as simple as needing a non-invasive repair.

Take a look at these common benefits:
