Getting the Facts About Sewer Pipe Lining

You may have heard of sewer repair but have you heard of sewer pipe lining? Sewer pipe lining aka trenchless sewer pipe repair offers an innovative and environmentally friendly way to repair sewer pipes with minimal impact on the environment. As experts in sewer pipe lining for Roseville and the surrounding areas, we’d like to tell you more about the sewer pipe lining process and how it could benefit your home and property. 

When it’s needed. Two common types of pipe failures are pipe corrosion and tree roots growing into the pipe. Four elements come together and lead to the deterioration of pipes: oxygen, metal, water, and minerals which are chemicals. This chemical reaction causes a build-up called scaling which eats away at the pipe. Sewer pipe lining on the contrary can survive the environmental or soil conditions that likely damaged your sewer pipe to begin with. Once in place, the resulting, full-bodied pipes form entire pipe sections, without faulty joints or weak connections that can last for several decades. 

What it is. A way to restore a pipe from corrosion, leaks or cracks. It’s a four-step process and essentially puts a new pipe within a pipe. Lining is cost-efficient and less disruptive in comparison to replacing the entire pipe. Pipe lining also increases the life span of a piping system, preserves the building structure, landscape, and causes little to no destruction to the property. 

How it works. The first step in the lining process is to clean the pipe so that the liner will adhere to the old host pipe. Pipes are cleaned with mechanical cutters that can remove scale buildup and roots. 

Once the pipe is cleaned the technicians saturate a felt liner with a two part epoxy. They then score the outside of the liner so that it will adhere to the inside of the pipe. No water will be able to get in-between the liner and the inside of the pipe. The liner is then pulled through the pipe and the rubber bladder inside the felt is expanded to allow epoxy liner to cure, adhering to the pipe. 
 
The sewer pipe liner then hardens to the pipe and the rubber bladder is deflated and removed, leaving behind a better than new pipe within the existing system. Lining works because it separates the original pipe that is susceptible to failure from the material flowing through it. The new Cured In Place Pipe (CIPP) or epoxy lining provides the same strength as a new pipe but without the hassle!

We specialize in helping with sewer lining in Minneapolis MN and the surrounding areas, but we thought we would take the time to discuss how to prevent frozen pipes. The first thing you should do is turn off any outside water lines. Take your garden hose, if you have one, and remove it from the hose bibb. Drain the hose in your garden or shed and then make sure the interior shut off valve is fully closed. Pipes that run along exterior walls are especially at risk of freezing.
