PIPE LINING: Are you sewer pipes backing up from root infestation, or from missing pipe floors or broken sewer pipes? Are your apartment rain-leaders leaking into walls of condominiums? Modern pipe replacement installs a new pipe inside of the old pipe. It only takes 3 hours, has a 50 year warranty and is as strong as repiping with new pipe. We only need one entry point to install the new pipe liner, usually from a rooftop or a small access hole dug outside the building. Compared to old-fashioned excavation, it’s cheaper, faster and cleaner. Click Pipe Lining to learn more.

EPOXY PIPE LINING: All throughout San Antonio TX, pinhole leaks in copper pipes create slab leaks and leaking galvanized pipes cause water damage and lead leaching into drinking water. Epoxy pipe rehabilitation coats the inside of potable water pipes with EPA approved food-grade epoxy which permanently seals all leaks. It is widely used in hospitals, hotels, home, factories, aircraft carriers, oil pipelines and apartment high-rises. Click Epoxy Pipe Lining to learn more.

PIPE BURSTING & SLIP LINING: In some circumstances, pipes cannot be lined. Sometimes pipe bursting is used, which involves the physical destruction and outward displacement of the old pipe followed simultaneously by the installation of a new pipe with the same or wider diameter inside the newly created void. In other cases, a new pipe can simply be pulled into the old pipe, thereby reducing the internal diameter somewhat. Click Pipe Bursting / Slip Lining to learn more.

MANHOLE REHABILITATION: Are you experiencing water infiltration or sewer exfiltration? Are your San Antonio sewer manholes disintegrating? We offer both physical manhole rehabilitation with fiberglass linings as well as epoxy and polymeric manhole rehabilitation. Click Manhole Rehab to learn more.

We are one of the largest resources for trenchless pipe repair, repiping and relining services in Texas. Most people have never had to deal with Pipelining because blocked drain problems only occur once in their lifetime. But cities and corporations have been Pipelining for over 40 years, and the same technology was introduced to small diameter pipe for home owners, condo owners, apartment buildings, shopping centers, small businesses and anyone else with pipe problems around 12 years ago.

All of our materials have a 50 year warranty and meet ASTM 1216 specifications for air-inversion lining and ASTM specifications of pull-in-place lining. Pipe relining and CIPP works on copper, concrete, clay, cast iron, steel and other common plumbing pipes. The most common pipes that need to be replaced are sewer lines and water lines, but all plumbing pipe can be replaced without digging.

Need Pipe Replacement? Don’t Excavate!

Cured-In-Place Pipe (CIPP) or Trenchless Pipe Replacement has been around for 30 years and has been used for large diameter pipe rehabilitation by municipalities and commercial entities worldwide. But about 12 years ago small diameter pipe lining was perfected and has been in use in homes, hotels, apartments, ships, hospitals, and basically anyplace that needed repiping. Our Perma-Liner brand of trenchless technology has a 50-year warranty and only takes hours to install, and costs less than pipe replacement.

Any broken or rusted pipe can be relined, including concrete culvert pipes, copper water pipes, cast iron sewer pipes, PVC drains, clay VCP pipe, steel or corrugated pipe. The new inner liner creates a single seamless pipe with no joints and thus prevents water and sand infiltration, root intrusion and all pipe erosion and corrosion.

Signs of damaged pipe include discolored water, frequent backups, sand in water, slow flow, strange pipe noises when flushing and clogs. If caught in time before the entire damaged pipe collapses, trenchless pipelining can restore the pipe for 50 years.

Recent San Antonio TX Job: Pharmaceuticals Manufacturer CIPP Trenchless Pipe Replacement

Symptoms: Sewer drain backups, toilets flooding into laboratories
Problem: Disconnected joints in HDPE sewer pipes not fused properly, catching on debris, drain backups
Location: W. Commerce St., San Antonio TX

In January 2008 a Perma-liner installers / contractor Craftsman Pipe Lining was contacted by a distraught pharmaceuticals manufacturer in Texas. Their $150MM newly renovated manufacturing facility was shut down as the underground H.D.P.E pipes had separated at the poorly fused joints that were catching on debris causing drain blockages.

Excavation to replace these lines was not an option since they were directly beneath rooms that were under the highest levels of bio-containment, which would cost millions to restore after such invasive repairs. The pharmaceuticals company needed a way to repair five of these 110’ sewer lines with the least amount of disruption. To make matters worse, pharmaceutical equipment had somehow fallen into these lines and had become trapped in the cracks of the broken joints. The equipment would have to be removed without excavation. Furthermore, if anything went wrong with the pipe liners during installation, trenching would not be an option.

Some of the trenchless CIPP bidders were using technology that required two access points but since Perma-Liner’s technology required only one 2’x3’ entry point, they were the chosen technology. The pharmaceuticals company just had to find a capable permaliner installer in San Antonio for such a risky and complicated job. They chose Craftsman Pipe Lining due to their physical proximity and their price, which was one-fourth that of the nearest bidder.

Camera inspection indicated that four lines needed rehabilitation, so four access points were carefully selected and a containment room was built over each one to minimize debris dispersal. Furthermore, air conditioning was turned off to minimize airborne contamination and the United States Food and Drug Administration inspected sites to ensure compliance with regulations. Once the holes were dug, the water was turned off to the whole facility.

Within six hours each line was shot, cured and access points opened with reinstatement cutters. The most important main 110’ line was the most difficult as the reinstatements could not be found easily. So the Craftsman crew improvised by using a laser attached to a drain snake to run the laser through the lateral p-traps down to the main line from where the beam of light could clearly be seen by the reinstatement cutter operator.

The job was completed ahead of schedule thanks to single entry Perma-Liner technology and skilled installers that could improvise at moment’s notice.
