Sewer rehabilitation is the process of repairing, replacing, or upgrading your sewer pipelines, often due to age, underground pipes shifting due to soil erosion, tree root intrusion, improper installation, and severe clogs.
It can be completed via various trenchless methods, usually in less than a day, leaving a pipe that will be leakproof and extremely durable.
Pipe Relining
If our Austin plumbers deem your pipe can be relined after a quick video inspection, we'll dig two small holes at each end of the affected pipe. We'll then slide a custom liner through the pipe's entrance.
Once in place, the resin that holds the liner in place is then cured quickly using ultraviolet light, creating a pipe within a pipe. The UV light allows the lining to be dried completely within minutes, which is much faster than the hour's traditional pipe lining methods can take.
Your new pipe will be well protected against damage and ensure things flow properly for your plumbing. Whether your pipe is PVC, cast iron, clay, or another material, pipe lining may be a good fit for your system's current issues and can provide long-lasting protection for up to 50 years.
Epoxy Coating
Instead of replacing your relining your old plumbing, your plumber may recommend applying an epoxy coating to the inside of your pipes. This is another non-invasive form of line repair that helps create a new pipe within the old, patching up cracks and providing protection against future issues.
Once the line has been cleaned of buildup and debris, a flexible tube is slid through the entrance into the pipe, pushing a fast-setting resin through. This will coat the pipe from one end to the other. We then quickly cure the new coating and get things flowing again.
