What is Sewer Pipe Lining?
Epoxy pipe lining, cured-in-place pipe (CIPP lining), or pipe relining, commonly referred to as pipe lining, is a minimally invasive method of repairing sewers. This method involves creating a new pipe within the existing one without digging or creating trenches. It is a fast, easy, and cost-effective solution to sewer pipe damage.
To initiate the pipe lining process, the plumbing lines are first examined with a sewer camera and then cleansed with hydrojetting. Following that, a new pipe liner is inserted and expanded within the old one, resulting in a new and long-lasting pipe that eliminates any pinhole leaks.
The Benefits of Sewer Relining
Cost-Effective
Due to the reduced need for labor, the cost of sewer pipe lining is significantly lower than that of traditional sewer pipe replacement, potentially resulting in savings of up to 50%.
Durable and Long-Lasting
When handled by a skilled and certified contractor such as Contour Inc., sewer pipe lining can provide a reliable, long-lasting solution for 50 or more years. The newly installed piping is built to endure, boasting strong durability and resistance to corrosion.
Non-Invasive
With pipe lining, there is no need for trenches as repairs can be done without causing damage to your floors, walls, or ceilings. Additionally, Contour is skilled in performing repairs through pre-existing access points, making the process even more convenient.
Minimal Disruption
Pipe lining can be efficiently executed in a single day without the need for excavation or destruction. As a result, our innovative solution yields a more streamlined process that reduces mess and disruption to your daily routine.
Quick Process
The lining cures very quickly, allowing our team to complete most jobs in less than 1 day, compared to conventional methods may take weeks and will put your family out of the house.
Environmentally-Friendly
The process of pipe lining is not associated with any generation of waste that would require disposal or recycling. Moreover, during the production of epoxy, no carbon emissions are generated, which serves as a positive environmental factor.
