what are the four types of drain pipe lining?

What is sewer lining and why do we need it? Sewer or drain pipe lining is a method that can repair all the cracked pipes without replacing the whole pipe line. In this process, pipes are fixed without digging deeper into the ground and destroying the surrounding areas. If you observe that your underground pipes are causing leakage, you need to first consider all the options available as you might not need replacing it.

This relining process is beneficial when your pipes are under the trees, near sidewalks or driveways. This will save a lot of collateral damage from happening. Let’s discuss the four types of pipe relining.

Cured-In Place

In this process, professional companies using latest technologies are able to repair the cracked section of the pipe without digging a ditch. When the inner of the pipe is properly cleaned and dried then the lining will be applied to that particular area. Jets are used to provide hot steam to the lining which will mold into all the cracks.

Pull-In Place

If the pipes have big cracks than pull in place method is used. With using of steam the material is fixed inside the pipe which is then pulled into the proper area. And for that two access points are needed one that will feed the liner and the other will pull it to the end. Air is then led into the pipe to make it dry.

Pipe Bursting

This process includes replacing the whole pipe system because in it the pipes get severely damaged. In this the installers have to dig through the ground just to gain its physical access. Hydraulic power is used to break completely old pipes and installing a new pipe.

Internal Pipe Coating

In this process, the installers will first completely drain all of the water from the pipes and when it is done a thick epoxy coating is sprayed on the affected area inside the pipes. And this will permanently seal all the cracks and the problem will not arise for a couple of years.

These latest methods of drain pipelining using latest technology have changed the traditional methods of excavation and collateral damage and these methods have proven to last you for years. So if you need drain lining services then contact Clearway Plumbing and no one else.
