Step-by-Step: How Residential Pipe Lining Is Done

Sewer pipes can become less efficient over time due to various reasons. When pipes start to malfunction, property owners can count on Sewer Pro for trenchless pipe lining in Columbus, OH. Here’s how we carry out the process.

1. Cleaning and Inspection of the Pipes

When you schedule a residential sewer pipe lining service with us, we will begin by inspecting the condition of your pipes. This is done using a small, specially designed-camera that can be maneuvered through the pipes. The camera is usually connected to a screen that displays the condition of your pipes to our team.

However, debris can sometimes accumulate inside the pipes, which can make the inspection difficult. In such cases, we might need to clean the pipes so we can proceed with the inspection and get a more accurate reading.

2. Measuring the Pipe Size or Dimensions

Following the inspection, our team will assess the condition of your pipes and determine if they are suitable for the CIPP pipe lining process. We will also provide you with an estimate of the amount of lining required as well as the total cost of the service.

3. Pipe Lining

The actual process requires epoxy to repair damaged pipes. A bladder pushes the epoxy resin throughout the interior of the pipe, and a UV light is used to dry the epoxy. This is a fast, inexpensive, and high-quality repair method that we offer for aging pipes. The epoxy resin is reliable and strong enough to support future use. We understand that there are pipes made of cast iron, which is why we also offer cast iron pipe lining.

Finally, our pipe lining technicians will seal the line, and after a few hours, your pipes will be ready for use. The key reasons why many pipe lining companies offer this method are that it is quick, effective, and does not require any excavation.
