Sewer repair is a necessity in any populated area, small or large. Human beings need access to running water and sewer systems at all times; otherwise, a property will suffer from safety and health violations. Urban areas are no different, so it
stands to reason that commercial property managers want a reliable approach to pipe problems. Ideally, the methods should be predictable and researched to avoid unforeseen expenses. One popular choice is cured-in-place pipe repair (CIPP).
CIPP from Advanced Pipe Repair is a versatile process that works for multiple types of commercial locations. To be completely effective, sewer repair methods should be designed to benefit even the most complex jobs. A CIPP contractor has a high chance of success when their approach is adaptable to any situation and makes regular maintenance and fixes possible.
For example, repairing pipes in an urban area might require vertical pipe knowledge. CIPP works with vertical piping to be less intrusive than traditional methods. If the pipes are located inside an apartment complex, you have to plan around a job. You might need to evacuate occupants, remove interiors, and ensure structural safety. All of this is less of a concern with CIPP.
Contractors can create an entry point that is small and easy to patch up. Through this entry point, they can slip liners into place, which are used to bond sections together. Slip-liners are essentially fabric patches, cured-in-place via a quick-hardening resin mix. These are applied to pipe interiors during a sewer repair job. Unless contractors face complications, liners are cured within a 24-hour period. This is an ideal approach because the property remains undamaged, and any evacuations won’t have to last long.
In urban areas, underground pipes can be difficult to reach. Reaching clogs or finding leaks often requires trench digs. This process can be messy and costly. CIPP is an ideal approach because it's neither messy nor expensive once all is said and done. Pipes can be blown and extracted through utility hole entry points, all without leaving any fragments behind. Tools and replacement pipes are snaked into place without any damage to the property itself. Video inspections can be used for insurance claims as well, which makes this service invaluable.
Using cured-in-place pipe repair for sewers keeps a property wholly functional. When a sewer system fails, expenses will quickly accumulate. A quick response is best when the work is competent. Make no mistake - there is a difference between an emergency response and a thought-out, ready-to-go approach. The former often results in more harm than good. The latter accomplishes what needs to be done and it lasts.
A hasty, uninformed approach might come back to haunt you. Such are the risks of traditional pipe repair. CIPP from Advanced Pipe Repair is a step-by-step process that’s slowly replaced older, unpredictable methods. Sewer repair is no joke. Anyone in charge of school buildings, apartment complexes, and office buildings can rely on CIPP contractors to address pipe issues with finesse. Ultimately, these methods help property owners save thousands of dollars every year, which is certainly a desirable outcome. Contact us at (800) 468-7668 to discuss your pipe repair needs.
