Trenchless Pipe Repair: A Game-Changer in Modern Plumbing

At S.W.A.T. Plumbing LLC, we pride ourselves on staying at the forefront of plumbing technology. One of the most innovative advancements in our industry is trenchless pipe repair, a method that has revolutionized how we approach underground pipe maintenance and replacement.

What is Trenchless Pipe Repair?

Trenchless pipe repair, also known as no-dig technology, is a method of repairing or replacing underground pipes without the need for extensive excavation. This technique offers numerous advantages over traditional pipe repair methods, including:

• Minimal surface disruption
• Reduced repair time
• Lower overall costs
• Environmentally friendly approach

Technical Details of Trenchless Pipe Repair

There are two primary methods of trenchless pipe repair:

1. Pipe Lining (Cured-In-Place Pipe – CIPP):
This method involves inserting a flexible, resin-coated liner into the damaged pipe. The liner is then inflated and cured using hot water or steam, creating a new pipe within the old one.

2. Pipe Bursting:
In this technique, a new pipe is pulled through the existing damaged pipe, simultaneously fracturing the old pipe and replacing it with the new one.

The CIPP Process in Detail

1. Inspection: Using advanced camera technology, we thoroughly inspect the damaged pipe to assess its condition and determine the best course of action.

2. Cleaning: The existing pipe is cleaned using high-pressure water jetting to remove debris and scale.

3. Liner Insertion: A flexible liner, saturated with epoxy resin, is inserted into the damaged pipe using air pressure or winching.

4. Curing: Hot water or steam is circulated through the liner, causing the resin to cure and harden, forming a new pipe within the old one.

5. Reinstatement: Any branch connections are reopened using a robotic cutter.
