Slip lining is a type of no-dig pipe repair that is designed to improve the plumbing function, save money, and reduce the time that your commercial plumbing is out of commission. In today’s blog, we’ll take a look at the ways that slip lining repairs can achieve these three situations.
What is Slip Lining?
In this method of pipe repair, the original pipe is strengthened by inserting a smaller pipe. In slip lining, aging and filing pipes can be saved without digging into your landscaping. It is designed to be completed by installing the liner through an opening in the existing pipe. When possible, this work is completed in a small space that requires no expensive tools.
How Does It Improve Pipe Function?
As we’ve already discussed, slip lining is a technique used to strengthen an old or weakened pipe by installing a new piece of material to strengthen both sections of pipe. It has been shown to make liquid flow faster and smoother through your entire plumbing system. At Advanced Pipe Repair, we guarantee that your repaired pipes will last–up to 50 years or we’ll make it right.
How Does It Save Money?
To put it simply, traditional pipe repair can be pretty expensive. On average, a dig-based pipe repair can cost anywhere from $4,000 to $13,000, depending on the amount of time and labor involved in digging, doing the work, the parts, the labor, and filling in the hole afterward. Since a considerable amount of time is spent digging to reach the problem area, slip lining is a much cheaper alternative. In these jobs, skilled plumbers access the problem area through an access point in the pipe itself. Since the problem is usually easier to access through the pipe itself, the average cost of a slip lining job is around $6,000.
How Does Slip Lining Save Time?
Slip lining your pipes is a great quick fix for plumbing problems throughout your commercial property for a variety of reasons. Since the work is done inside the existing pipe, the work can be completed cleanly. There’s no dirt and no mess to clean up. With new technologies like LED curing, the new section of pipe can be cured and ready for use in a matter of a few hours instead of days through traditional methods. Why waste time when you can be doing what you do best: running your business and serving your customers.
