The Trenchless Pipe Lining Process

Broken sewer pipes can be a headache, and while traditional repair methods can resolve the plumbing problem, after the repair is done you are still left with a messy yard to deal with. Fortunately, Pipeshark specialises in a more minimally-invasive method of repair. Our trenchless sewer pipe lining in Paoli, PA will save you time, money, and the mess while restoring your pipe to like-new condition. Here’s an overview of our repair process:

We begin every project by getting up close to evaluate the problem. Using video inspection technology, we can pinpoint the exact location and extent of the problem. Inspection also helps our techs determine the precise method needed for a thorough and complete repair. After an evaluation, we can determine whether you need PVC or cast iron pipe lining in Paoli, PA.

Planning and Repair

Once the inspection is done and a repair plan is outlined, an access hole is created. CIPP pipe lining in Paoli, PA involves fitting a felt liner to the pipe, impregnating it with epoxy and then positioning it into the pipe’s interior. A bladder is then moved into place and filled with air and then water to press the epoxy firmly against the inside of the broken pipe. The water is run through a heater until it reaches the correct epoxy “cooking” temperature and the epoxy is given time to harden.

The bladder and felt liner are then removed and a second camera inspection is carried out to verify the repair. The process of trenchless pipe lining in Paoli, PA usually takes around 24 hours to complete and the repair can last up to 50 years.
