How Does Cured in Place Pipe Technology Work?
If you have a damaged leaking sewer pipe, then it’s going to need to be fixed. Traditional sewers services would come to your home and dig it up and this creates a very large hole, and the entire pipe is replaced with a new one. But with cured in place pipe technology, only one hole may be needed. If you have manhole cover access, a hole might even be completely avoided. But how does this work? An upstream access point is determined then a felt tube made out of primarily polyester is impregnated with resin. Then the tube is inserted into the pipe which is in need of repair. The tube is pushed down the pipe with either water pressure or air pressure. Once in place, the tube will be cured by either UV light, hot water, or steam. This hardens the resin and seals up any cracks or damage that has occurred.
