CIPP repairs, or cured-in-place pipe repair, helps keep commercial pipe systems free of small, accumulative problems. By using variations on tested methods, a pipe specialist can address these troublesome happenings from occurring again in the future. Think of it as “future-proofing” your commercial properties against costly messes that take weeks to fix.
Because the fact is, if you are responsible for maintaining a commercial property, then you will eventually face a pipe failure of some kind. However, this scenario is not as alarming as it may seem if you know the correct steps to take, which Advanced Pipe Repair does. Basically, an inspection should be the first priority to assess the issue, followed by addressing the results with the proper repairs or maintenance steps.
CIPP Repairs as an “In-Place” Fix
Cured-in-place repairs are location-based, meaning each step is accomplished onsite without creating any extra damage to the surrounding environment. Instead, a pipe specialist can repair the pipe in its original installation spot, and without further complications. To accomplish this, Advanced Pipe Repair uses an industrial slip-lining procedure to simplify leak stoppages.
Industrial slip-lining can strengthen an entire piping system by securing any loose or affected sections. Once the work area is free of debris and water, the contractor inserts or “slips” a liner into the pipe from the surface through a utility hole. This is an ideal alternative to breaking walls down or removing foundational pieces. All of this is accomplished via a small entry point. Basically, the contractor draws a replacement in while “bursting” the damaged pipe. Next, the contractor extracts all remaining fragments, creating a safe and clean swap.
Once the liner is set, the contractor exposes it to heat or ultraviolet light. This exposure quickly cures the liner, cementing it to the pipe’s interior. Soon after, you can reinstate any sewer service lateral connections that needed to be shut down for repairs. The CIPP resin bonding procedure typically takes less than 24 hours to cure, so anyone living or working inside can soon return. Advanced Pipe Repair prefers to finish the job sooner rather than later. We know how disruptive these events can be, so it’s our goal to give you both quality and speed.
CIPP Inspections: The Initial Step
A core part of CIPP is the video inspection process. Unlike traditional methods, our approach lets contractors assess the damage without much trouble. The camera itself is “snake-like,” meaning it’s built to bend and reach inside a pipeline, no matter how narrow or deep it is. This is an important evolution in the field, because the setup of commercial property does not always provide good workspace. Here, our tools do the work, squeezing into places that the human body can’t.
Once the inspection is complete, our contractors will discuss the options with you. We’ll supply you with the images, which these can be used for insurance purposes, as well as a blueprint for repairs. APR takes documentation and maintenance seriously, which enables us to replace whole sections, clear clogged pipes, and stop leaks in an informed way. As the initial step, an inspection sets the table for what’s to come. Without it, there is a higher chance of mistakes.
Dealing with Wear and Tear
Commercial pipelining systems often take a beating from constant use. Since pipes are located under or around your properties, years are going to pass by, and all that pressure leads to pipe failures, leaks, and the like. As a property owner/manager, one must look for signs of a problem.
However, when a leak occurs, it’s easier to miss the signs than you might think. After all, wet grounds, soggy walls, and strange noises are not always apparent. Sometimes they go unnoticed until things become worse. Dealing with wear and tear is one of our specialties. CIPP maintenance is applicable following fresh or long-running pipe problems. We can follow the trail that leaks create and determine the origin point.
If you notice any of the above signs, our pipe specialists can make repairs without creating more woes. With traditional methods, workers often knock loose other pipe sections, creating unintentional problems that led to more problems, and so on. Clearly, you want to reinforce pipes, not make them worse. CIPP is pipe repair without extra expenses and commercial delays.
Higher Rates of Success with CIPP Repairs
With reinforcement, a proper rehab job can add up to 50 years of pipe-life. For example, pipes that have been sufficiently rehabilitated will last longer against quakes and storms—basically any forces that might knock pipes loose. Flooding or harsh winds might knock around your commercial properties, but the good news is that CIPP repairs have a high rate of reinforcement success.
After all, pipe repair can be accomplished without harming surrounding sections. Thanks to ingenuity in the field, your regular patrons, customers, or employees won’t need to postpone their activities in the wake of a storm or natural disaster. Your pipes become our pipes, and we take great care in securing them with a high rate of lasting success. CIPP can armor both pipe interiors and exteriors.
