CIPP
What is CIPP?
CIPP is a pipe repair and installation method that helps streamline services and improve the durability of your pipelines. CIPP methods utilize durable liners to fix pipes from the inside out. Instead of having to dig expensive and disruptive trenches, most CIPP jobs can be completed using access-points such as a drain or manhole.
The CIPP Process
At Advanced Plumbing and HVAC, we believe in quick and efficient work. The CIPP process is often faster than other pipe repairs or installations. In many cases, your new pipeline could be ready in under 24 hours! We have the technology needed to start manufacturing and installing your CIPP liners onsite, right from our trucks.
Video Inspection
Before starting any repair or installation work, it’s crucial for our technicians to properly inspect your pipelines. We use video cameras to get a full picture of the damage. This allows us to customize your CIPP liner to match the repair job perfectly. It also helps ensure there are no blocks or unexpected hazards that could prevent a swift and efficient job.
CIPP Liner Insertion
Once our technicians have identified the problem, they’ll work quickly to get your CIPP liner ready using equipment in our trucks. Using an access point, we carefully insert the liner into your pipe until we’ve reached the damaged section. The inserts are lined on one side with a high-quality resin material that will create a watertight seal in your pipeline. Once the liner is in place, technicians expand the material until it’s secured properly along the host pipe.
Drying
Once the liner is in the right location, it’s just a matter of waiting for the resin to dry. Trying to use your pipes too soon can cause the bond to weaken, making your new piping inefficient and increasing the risk of water damage. For most properties, the drying time can take between a couple of hours and a day. However, there are additional drying techniques that could help expedite the process and get your business or home back to working condition even sooner.
Final Inspection
To ensure your property is fully protected, we always perform a final visual inspection. This allows our technicians to view the new pipeline and check that the seal is tight and waterproof. If we detect any issues, we’ll act promptly to resolve them, ensuring your pipes are ready for use as quickly as possible.
UV CIPP Technology
Part of our commitment to using the latest in plumbing technology includes incorporating UV technology in our CIPP projects. UV lights can help expedite the resin drying time for many installations and repairs. A project that could have taken a full day to cure could instead be completed in just a few hours. After inspecting your pipelines, we’ll discuss the possibility of using UV CIPP technology on your property.
Benefits of CIPP for Sewer and Water Lines
Sewer and water lines see a lot of wear and tear, especially on commercial properties. Keeping them maintained isn’t always easy, but it’s often better than a sinkhole or sewage backup. At Advanced Plumbing and HVAC, we recommend using CIPP technology to help increase the durability of your pipelines.
No Digging
CIPP technology means you can get trenchless pipe repair and installation. Because CIPP liners fix pipes from the inside out, you don’t have to worry about digging up your street, sidewalk, or parking lot. This means the job can be done quickly and efficiently, saving you both time and money.
Minimal Disruptions
Not having to dig trenches doesn’t just save you time and money. It also helps keep your property in business. No-dig pipe repair often means you can maintain regular traffic around your building without much trouble. If your business doesn’t rely on water flow, you can often remain open. And residential properties can often still be used as well.
Increased Property Value
CIPP technology provides strong and durable pipelines that can last a lifetime. Adding CIPP to your property means boosting its value. If you’re looking to sell your building, updating your pipelines could help increase profits. Not only does a new pipeline encourage buyers; it also means easier repairs in the future, further enhancing value.
F.A.Q.
How Much Does CIPP Cost?
Because every job is unique, there’s no one-size-fits-all answer for the cost. At Advanced Plumbing and HVAC, we never provide a quote without first inspecting your pipes. Contact us today to schedule your free consultation and inspection for an accurate onsite quote.
How Long Do CIPP Jobs Take?
How long your job takes depends on the size of the pipe and the extent of the damage. A quick fix for one section of a pipeline can often be completed in a few hours. But if you’re installing a new pipeline for a large property, it may take a few days. After inspecting your pipeline, we’ll do our best to provide you with an estimated timeline so you can plan accordingly.
Will CIPP Liners Affect Water Flow?
CIPP liners are designed to be thin and durable. This means they can provide a strong, watertight seal without increasing the bulk of your pipes. When you use CIPP for pipe repair or installation, you can rest assured knowing your water flow won’t be affected.
