I offer it because I know it works, and if I can save customers money and give them a better product, then that’s the solution I want. Pipe relining is today’s answer to the age-old problem of fixing sewer lines economically and comprehensively. Pipe relining is becoming key to preserving the integrity of the pipes, and keeping the water flowing properly. The solution to both mitigating cost and preserving the quality of the drinking water is to line the entire infrastructure - seal it up - to avoid root intrusion and storm water infiltration. In some places, the cost can be very high, so some plants have been known to take shortcuts, which then leads to fines imposed by the EPA. When the storm water enters the pipes, the water is affected and it costs the water treatment plant a lot more money to treat the water so that it’s acceptable for drinking. This is significant because we have to find ways to prevent storm water from infiltrating water treatment plants, and that means addressing the cause of pipe breakdown, which is either wear and tear, or tree root intrusion. This is because the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has spearheaded a nationwide initiative to separate storm water from sanitary sewage water.
Sooner or later, the entire United States infrastructure will be lined from the inside. You have to decide what expenses make sense for your business and go from there. For example, with blue light, curing is reduced to just five minutes, but the cost for the technology is about $150,000. While my businesses relies on ambient curing, which takes about four hours, steam curing and blue light curing are also available - but at a cost. The technology around pipe relining is evolving. You save the customer money in both the short- and long-term.The end product is more comprehensive and superior and.The method is less intrusive than pipe bursting.While pipe relining is a longer-term business play, it’s well worth it for three reasons: The method requires a hefty investment of about $80,000, which is twice the cost of a bursting head and pulling machine. My business is only one of four in the Kansas City area offering this service.Ĭost is one of the main reasons pipe relining has been slow to catch on. As such, pipe relining is still in its infancy, and only a relatively small number of plumbing companies offer it. While pipe relining has been around for decades in Europe, it really only picked up momentum the United States in the mid-1990s. Allow the liner to cure ambiently, a process that takes about four hours.The force of the calibration tube pushes out excess resin and Use a calibration tube (a tool that expands like a balloon inside the pipe) to push the liner into place so that it’s flush with the host pipe.Load the liner into a drum, which then inverts the liner into the pipe.
Impregnate the resin into the liner (I use Hammerhead, which has a 50-year warranty).
Insert a camera into the host pipe to measure the space.The liner then hardens and essentially becomes the new interior of the pipe.
Pipe relining is the process of shooting a liner filled with epoxy resin into the host pipe.
