Traditional pipe repair has three major drawbacks. It’s slow, it’s expensive, and it often involves digging up a portion of your home, yard, or driveway. CIPP is better than traditional pipe repair on every level. CIPP pipe repair is a quicker, cheaper, and less invasive solution to leaking or broken pipes.
Reduce Downtime with CIPP Pipe Repair
The cured-in-place pipe process is a much faster process than excavation. In some cases, CIPP may be completed in as little as 24 hours. You will still have some downtime while repairs are made, and curing takes time, but it will be significantly less.
When you compare this non-invasive method to trenching, there is a substantial difference. With updated technology, we can cure CIPP in a matter of hours. The time it takes to complete CIPP will depend on the repair that is needed.
All it takes is one small access area to access the pipeline and quickly make repairs.
Cost-Effective Repairs
While the initial cost of CIPP may seem like more than traditional repairs, it is a more cost-effective method. The payoff comes in reducing labor and equipment costs that are often required for digging. In addition, your cured-in-place pipe is going to last 50+ years, saving you money down the road.
The materials for CIPP repairs are more costly, but there is much more to consider than just materials. By the time you add labor and excavation, it really turns out that CIPP is likely more affordable. You can always get an estimate before you make a final decision.
Skip Invasive Digging Practices
Traditional pipe repair methods require disturbing the ground above the pipe for the entire length of the replacement. This could involve digging into the facility, under a garage, or through exterior landscaping. The trench could be an eyesore for starters. However, more than anything, it’s invasive to your property and your business. When the repairs are made, there may be added costs to make repairs to the excavated areas as well. Trenching leaves behind damage to the ground and surroundings.
With CIPP, all that is needed is a small access point. This can occur at any access point or even a utility hole access for larger pipeline structures. With video technology and robotics, we can insert our tools from that point to inspect and make repairs. There are times we may need to dig to create an access point, but it is minimal digging in comparison.
