If you are responsible for major municipal waterways in Cottonwood and a pipe burst, it can be a serious hassle. Not only do you have the damage done by the water leak or break, but you also have to worry about repairing and replacing the burst pipes. The good news is that things just got easier and way less expensive. Burst pipes in Cottonwood are no longer a hassle or a huge expense. In fact, they can be fixed without having to dig to replace or repair them at all.
Traditional Ways of Repairing and Replacing Pipes
In the past, if pipes burst in Cottonwood, you would have to excavate the entire pipe to investigate. Not only did you have to disturb the area around the site itself, but you also had to isolate the pipe to figure out how to fix it. Once that was done, you had to fix and rebury it. After that, work had to be done to fix what was destroyed by excavating the pipe. That was no small expense. Thanks to the innovative new CIPP lining, now it is a lower expense.
What is a CIPP Lining?
A CIPP lining is a new epoxy product that is injected into the pipes. Once there, it coats the pipe from end to end. This means you don’t have to waste time looking for and repairing the leak or crack. The epoxy coat does it for you. After the epoxy cures, robotics are used to piece the pipes back together. And then the pipes are ready for immediate use. So not only does it cut down on the mess involved in replacing and repairing pipes; it also cuts down on the time needed to complete the entire process.
What Else Does a CIPP Lining Do?
All around Cottonwood, pipes are aging and degrading. But due to budgetary constraints, pulling them up and replacing them just hasn’t been feasible. Most municipalities wait until a pipe burst to fix it. But that doesn’t help with things like lead contamination. As a pipe begins to degrade, it can leak harmful metals into the waterway systems. Lead poses a health hazard for the people served by the water systems. The CIPP lining can also coat the pipes against contaminating the waterways, which means that it cuts down on the potential that aging pipes can adversely affect the populations that they serve.
If you are managing municipal waterways and have burst pipes in Cottonwood, the fix is no longer expensive and arduous. You can repair and replace aging and degrading pipes before they even have a chance to break thanks to the CIPP lining system.
