Sewer Lining or Relining
This is the newest and most cost effective form of sewer repair available. It is fairly new to the US but has been used in Europe for about 40 years. Sewer Re-lining or Sewer lining saves time, energy and money for clients needing sewer repairs.
This technology is also called Cured In Place Pipe (CIPP) because a soft PVC pipe is impregnated with epoxy and inserted into the broken sewer and cured in place for several hours leaving behind a “new” seamless pipe that is as strong as the original pipe. This CIPP comes with a 50 year guarantee leaving home owners with the peace of mind they are looking for.
The technique seems simple but dealing with old sewers many feet underground which may have bends, turns and other pipes leading into them can complicate matters. Some sewers may have tree roots, missing sections, bellies and a myriad of other issues that need to be addressed. These are not unsolvable problems with the right professional, equipment and lining materials. Choosing a contractor who specializes in this type of work pays off as in any other home repair situation.
The Scottish Plumber has the technology, experienced staff and the depth of knowledge to solve drainage and sewer problems, it is our specialty. In order to get a diagnoses and an estimate on sewer repairs a video camera needs to be inserted in the sewer pipe to see the condition of the pipe and the repairs needed.
Occasionally a sewer may be so root infested a camera inspection cannot be done until the line is completely clear of tree roots and this can be performed with a stronger pipe scouring method known as hydro jetting, which is more expensive due to the nature of the equipment needed. The hydro jetting is able to cut through roots and force them out of the sewer and is often used in commercial and residential applications where sludge and grease are involved.
