The Basics of Trenchless Pipe Lining

Trenchless solutions have become the most preferred method of repairing and restoring old and damaged pipes. Because trenchless pipe lining in Seattle, WA, is still relatively new among homeowners and businesses, Sewer Solutions NW shares the essential things about this innovative method:

When To Use Pipe Lining

When clients contact us to rehabilitate their pipes, we first inspect the damage and its extent to determine the appropriate approach. We often recommend trenchless pipe repair when the lines are corroded, leaking, cracked, or have roots growing through them.

Trenchless Pipe Lining Process

We start the process with a sewer camera inspection to identify the issue. We then clean the pipe’s interior to eliminate buildup, debris, and roots, to ensure the liner adheres to the system. We follow this by measuring the pipe to determine how much liner and epoxy resin we need for trenchless sewer repair.

We then cut the liner according to the measurement, mix it with resin, and insert it into the pipe. We use air pressure to invest the liner inside out, allowing the epoxy to bond against the line and seal it.

After letting it cure, we finish the trenchless sewer replacement with another camera inspection to confirm that everything has cured. We also let water or waste run through the pipes to ensure no leaks are present.

Benefits

One of the main benefits of trenchless methods is that it eliminates the excavation involved in traditional repairs. This means homeowners will not have to worry about restoring their yards or buying new pipes, saving time and money. Trenchless pipe replacement and repair are less labor-intensive and can be done in a day or two. Furthermore, they extend the lifespan of your sewer lines for up to 50 years.
