Cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) lining is the preferred method to repair or replace residential pipes and sewer lines. Proper preparations guarantee a smooth and problem-free trenchless sewer repair in Ridley Park, PA.

Planning And Preparations Before Trenchless Operations

The trenchless pipe repair process starts with proper planning. Plumbing technicians inspect the interior of the affected pipe using pipe cameras. This identifies the specific problem and its exact location. If the session is going to be extensive, it will be good to inform your household and affected neighbors of the schedule.

Once these factors are carefully determined, prepare the workspace by clearing it of all obstructions. This prevents untoward damage to property and makes it a safe working area.

Technicians turn off the water supply connected to the affected pipe. The affected pipe receives thorough cleaning using hydro jetting. It cleans and clears pipes in preparation for trenchless pipe lining.

Trenchless Repair Procedures

Once everything is set, plumbing technicians can proceed with the repair. Depending on the type and extent of the damage, plumbing technicians use the correct length of the pipe liner.

They use the nearest access point or cleanout to insert the pipe liner, which applies epoxy resin to the inner surface. It cures to form the new inner pipe to seal minor spot damages or for full trenchless pipe replacement.

Other situations are not feasible for regular trenchless methods. If the pipe has severe damage or has already collapsed, technicians use other trenchless methods. Pipe bursting destroys the unusable, damaged pipe by using a pipe boring mechanism while pulling in a new pipe into place. It no longer needs to excavate, remove, and replace the pipe, keeping the surroundings intact.

The final step involves testing the new pipe to guarantee it works without issues. The crew does minor cleanup before leaving the property in its original condition.
