Trenchless Pipe Repair: A Game-Changer in Plumbing Technology
At Lake Michigan Heating, Cooling, Plumbing, we’re always on the lookout for innovative solutions to improve our services. One such advancement that has revolutionized the plumbing industry is trenchless pipe repair. This cutting-edge technique allows us to fix underground pipes without the need for extensive excavation, saving time, money, and your landscape.
How Trenchless Pipe Repair Works
Trenchless pipe repair, also known as Cured-In-Place Pipe (CIPP) lining, involves the following steps:
1. Inspection: We use high-definition cameras to assess the damage and determine if trenchless repair is suitable.
2. Cleaning: The damaged pipe is thoroughly cleaned using hydro jetting to remove debris and buildup.
3. Lining preparation: A flexible, resin-coated liner is measured and cut to fit the damaged pipe’s length.
4. Installation: The liner is inserted into the existing pipe using air pressure or water inversion methods.
5. Curing: The liner is then cured using hot water, steam, or UV light, creating a new pipe within the old one.
