What Is Trenchless Pipe Lining?

For many homeowners, a leaky or broken pipe isn’t their biggest worry; the traditional repair process, however, has cost many lost hours of sleep. And the digging, mess, and inconvenience are only slightly less concerning than the cost. At Sewer Pro, we specialize in trenchless pipe lining in Columbus, OH with no digging, no mess, no inconvenience, and a much lower price than you might expect.

So what is trenchless pipe lining anyway? Trenchless pipe lining, also called CIPP pipe lining in Columbus, OH, is a process that requires no digging to access the broken pipe. Our technician will begin by performing a camera inspection of the suspect pipe. The 360-degree, high-definition camera allows a clear look at the location of the problem as well as the severity. This helps our team devise a detailed plan that addresses only the section of pipe in question.

Two common methods of repair are pipe bursting and PVC or cast iron pipe lining in Columbus, OH. In the pipe lining process, a liner is coated with epoxy and inserted into the existing pipe. A bladder is then inserted into the liner and inflated first with air and then with water, which presses the epoxy against the inside of the pipe. Heated water is then run through the bladder to “cook” the epoxy resin. Once the epoxy hardens, the bladder and liner are removed and a second camera inspection is done to insure a proper repair.

When the process is complete, a new pipe has been created within the old pipe with no excavation and no mess. Only a small access hole is necessary to allow access to the pipe, which means clean up is quick, easy, and discreet. And the cost of sewer pipe lining in Columbus, OH can save 30% to 40% over conventional old-school pipe repair methods.
