Commercial pipe repair is different from home repair in a variety of ways – not the least of which involves the basic structure and overall cost of the repair process. When beginning the commercial pipe repair process, these are two important factors: how the repairs happen and how much they cost. Take a closer look at these factors to provide a clearer picture for commercial property owners facing pipe failures.
Commercial Pipe Repair Goes Trenchless
Over the last several years, pipe repair technicians have moved away from traditional practices. In traditional trench-based repairs, commercial properties are shut down to get the repairs done. This is because contractors are required to dig up dirt to access the pipe system. Digging up the ground creates a messy scenario that wastes more time than it saves. Once the system has been located, the repair project can begin. After the pipes are repaired, the dirt is replaced. These additional steps will result in delays in getting back to work–meaning lost revenue for the impacted business.
Cured-in-place piping, also known as CIPP, is the optimal method for trenchless repairs. In CIPP, no digging is required. It allows repair professionals to access the pipe and complete their work from any point. Without any need to dig, the work is done and the company can get back to doing business much faster. A reduction of time and labor will result in a lowered end cost.
CIPP: A Cost-Saving Factor
To get a clearer picture of what CIPP can do for your business, it’s important to understand that the repair process is still important. When it comes to CIPP-based repairs, the unique aspects of the process make the difference. CIPP is designed to use the existing pipe as the holder for the new portion. Inserting a vinyl liner into the pipe is a good start. Once the liner is inserted, a custom formulated epoxy resin is used to bond the two sections of pipe together. With both of the pipes bonded, the resin is cured.
Once the curing process has been completed, the two sections of pipe are good as new. Moreover, the pipe is guaranteed to remain intact for at least fifty years without showing wear and tear or experiencing additional failure. By utilizing CIPP to complete applicable repairs, savings are an added side benefit.
