Replacement Pipes in a No-Dig Situation

replacement pipes

Replacement pipes for commercial properties are often necessary to maintain good flow pressure and avoid expensive breakdowns. No-dig pipe repair is a versatile process that can adapt to any property layout, including large and smaller piping systems under courthouses, restaurants, and schools.

These examples pertain to the subject of no-dig pipe repair because the grounds themselves often add prestige to the buildings. Traditional pipe maintenance methods pose a risk of damaging already-fragile pipe situations, which can in turn cause issues with the soil and nearby nature installations. This is due to the need for contractors jarring piping loose while attempting to replace a section.

No-dig pipe repair, known as cured-in-place pipe repair (CIPP) is a surgical style of work, where each change is made without clumsy, injury-prone work. Contractors make these changes with specific tools, which Advanced Pipe Repair’s team is 100% equipped to handle.

Preparing for Replacement Pipes

In order to prepare for pipe replacement jobs, our contractors conduct a video inspection on-site. They use a “snake-like” camera to infiltrate piping systems – one that is built to bend around corners and dive inside a pipeline. This means that any hard-to-reach damages can be captured to ensure the right plan of action, no matter how narrow or deep the line goes. 

CIPP is an important evolution in the pipe repair industry, one that multiple businesses have come to request whenever they experience a leak, or any number of concerns that property owners face with commercial properties. When it comes to CIPP work, proper planning always makes jobs easier to complete.

No-Dig Pipe Replacement as an Ideal Alternative

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” the prepared liner into the target pipe through the surface through a manhole. 

This is an ideal alternative to breaking walls down or removing foundational pieces. We accomplish all of this via a small entry point. Here is the lowdown on the process: the CIPP contractor draws a replacement pipe in while “bursting” the damaged one. Next, the contractor extracts all remaining fragments, creating a safe and clean swap for the finishing touches.

Once the liner sets, 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 open and 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 than later. We know how disruptive these events can be, so it’s our goal to give you both quality and speed

No-Dig Replacement Pipes

Commercial plumbing repairs for horizontal pipes normally take place beneath the surface. This location makes strategies important so that we can complete the job in an accurate and lasting way. For a successful operation, contractors must access a commercial, industrial, or municipal sewer system without blockage. With traditional methods, businesses typically have to spend money to unearth the problematic sections. Traditional pipe repair methods can result in temporary property shutdowns for the sake of safety. After all, allowing regular patrons to be near construction or maintenance sites can lead to lawsuits and injuries. CIPP lets the contractors close up shop before shutdowns go long.

Traditional pipe repairs can be costly. For example, the actual spot or pipe location can make a big difference. If the pipes are located beneath a basement, then an extensive dig is going to be on the to-do list. Contractors might need to create trenches, this way they can maneuver in and out. After all, they need enough space to move replacement parts into place.

If you don’t install a replacement pipe carefully, you might experience more pipe fails in the future. Our experts know that vigorous trenchwork can knock the surrounding pipe sections into a loose state. Without the proper care and precision, pipe repairs can lead to costly mistakes. Cured-in-place pipework makes commercial plumbing repairs far less invasive, as well as less expensive overall. We provide contractors who are precise enough to avoid extra damage.

CIPP Pipe Repair Advantages

Cured-in-place pipe repair was created to make repair jobs far less expensive and frustrating. This is a procedure that does not require earth-moving equipment like ditches or backhoes to create side-by-side trenches for pipe specialists to move around in. In the old days, this was the unfortunate reality.

With CIPP, we can perform common replacement procedures without deep digs. In fact, our pipe specialists can extract pipe fragments while the pipe replacement itself occurs at the same time. Thanks to the help of a special resin, slip-liners will bond everything together from the inside. Each replacement tactic works for small, larger, or complex commercial locations. 

With no-dig pipe repair, our pipe specialists can effectively put pipe problems to bed. Our team will expertly set new pipes, remove shattered pipes, and patch leaks by using less-invasive CIPP methods, which means there is little reason to break ground. Keep in mind, we can offer an estimate for your situation and actively begin the preparation once we establish the scope of the job.

Advanced Pipe Repair Brings Replacements

If you are a commercial property manager or owner, you can benefit from the less expensive tactics of cured-in-place pipework. In many ways, CIPP makes commercial plumbing repairs cheaper to initiate and also safer for all the participants (this includes regular patrons and the contractors themselves). In comparison, when using traditional pipe repair methods, there is a higher chance of existing pipelines becoming structurally unsound. CIPP benefits your entire property because this method requires little-to-no excavation just to complete the job or even start it. 

Basically, CIPP’s innovative approach is low-risk because we perform all work from entry points, not trenches. Our specialists can use an upstream manhole, or just create a simple access point to slip the replacement pipes or liners into place. Advanced Pipe Repair can repair and replace broken down sections without charging you for a potentially dangerous dig. Underground work might be inescapable in some ways, at least in the realm of pipe and sewer repair. But APR’s team of specialists can minimize it for you while providing quality solutions.
