Understanding the Benefits of CIPP in Sewage Disposal Systems
CIPP is a great choice for sewage disposal systems. There are many wonderful benefits. It’s no secret that cured-in-place pipe technology is revolutionizing the market. If you aren’t familiar with these trenchless solutions, this guide is for you.
There are few things more disruptive than a damaged sewer pipe, right? Fixing those lines used to require excavation and major downtime. But that is no longer the case. Thanks to new technology, there are far less invasive options and they bring long-lasting results.
What is CIPP?
CIPP stands for “cured-in-place pipe.” This is a trenchless method that repairs and rehabilitates existing pipelines. The method will extend the lifespan and effectively repair the line. It works by using a liner that has resin on it that gets put into the line. The resin goes through a curing process, which hardens the material and adheres it.
The end result is basically a brand-new pipeline that is strong, sturdy, and durable. Did we mention that this entire process is trenchless? That’s right – no excavation, tearing up the grounds, or dealing with repairs after the fact.
How CIPP Works for Sewage System Repair
The process is simple, but it should always be handled by a qualified professional. The steps include:
- Inspect the sewage line with a high-definition camera to determine what the issue is and plan for repairs.
- Clean out the sewer line with hydro jetting to clear any debris, roots, etc.
- Prepare the liner to fit it properly to the pipe, saturating it with resin. The material will match the dimensions of the pipe.
- Insert the liner into the sewer line and place it accordingly. We can use a single access point or even a utility hole for access and pull the liner into place with technology.
- Cure the resin with UV or another method to harden and create a brand-new pipe within the existing one.
- Complete a final inspection of the work to check for proper sealing and functionality.
Key Benefits to Know
There are some very strong benefits of using CIPP and other trenchless methods. Let’s dig into the benefits:
- Trenchless: this is a trenchless solution, which also makes it minimally invasive. There is no digging or repairs that come from digging; there is also very little disruption for digging and excavation.
- Cost-Effective: this will be cheaper to complete now, and the cost-effective benefits last over time because the method creates the essence of a brand-new pipe.
- Lasting: Cured-in-place pipe is lasting and durable. It will be resistant to corrosion, root intrusion, and more, and it will likely last for 50+ years.
- Quick: excavating can take weeks or even months, but this method takes a matter of hours to maybe a day or two for large projects.
- Versatile: it’s highly versatile and will work for almost any pipe size, material, or use.
There is almost no scenario in which you cannot use cured-in-place pipe to make your repair. It’s reliable, simple, convenient, and far better than the trenching alternatives.
CIPP is the Way to Go
CIPP technology is the most innovative option for repairing sewage disposal systems. It’s a fix that requires minimal disruption and yet provides lasting results you can depend on.
