CIPP lining involves inserting a flexible tube or liner into the existing damaged pipe. This liner is typically made of materials like felt or fiberglass and is saturated with a resin.
The liner is inserted into the pipe through an existing access point, such as a manhole or cleanout.
Once in place, the liner is inflated, pressing against the interior surface of the existing pipe.
The resin is then cured, either through the application of heat, ultraviolet (UV) light, or ambient curing, depending on the specific method used.
As the resin cures, it hardens, creating a new, durable inner layer within the existing pipe.
CIPP lining offers several advantages in plumbing and sewer repair:
Trenchless Technology: The method minimizes the need for extensive excavation, reducing disruption to landscaping and infrastructure.
Cost-Effective: CIPP lining can be a cost-effective solution compared to traditional pipe replacement methods, especially when dealing with lengthy or complex pipe systems.
Versatility: It can be used in various types of pipes, including sewer lines, stormwater drains, and sanitary lines.
