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 Diego 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.

We are a certified Perma-Liner pipe rehabilitation installer operating throughout California. Our cured-in-place-pipe (CIPP) enables us to repair all pipes, such as VCP clay, cast iron, steel, corrugated and copper pipes without trenching or digging through floors, walls, basements, concrete slabs or foundation and landscaping.

This type of pipe repair lasts 100 years and can protect all plumbing pipes, septic pipes, sewer lines, water pipes from root infestation, pipe cracks, missing pipe floors and corrosion. The trenchless pipe installation is fast, taking only 3 hours to install. First we perform a pipe video investigation to find the broken pipe sections. Then we jet the line to clean it and to measure the length that has to be relined with the pipe liner. After that the pipe liner is thoroughly wet out or saturated with pipe lining epoxy resin that will self harden in 3 hours.

Using air pressure the trenchless pipe liner is installed inside the broken pipe, and air pressure is maintained until te cure is complete and the perma-liner CIPP process is complete. The process is used in hotels, residences, condominiums, ships, hospitals and many municipalities actually own their own CIPP equipment.

Recent Project in San Diego CA:  Hotel Pipe Relining on E Harbor Dr.

We got a call late at night from a distressed hotel along the waterfront. They had a broken cast iron sewer pipe that ran vertically from the top to the bottom floor and was leaking sewage into the walls and causing mould and other sanitary problems. They were also concerned about liability and law suits. Their research indicated CIPP pipe lining was the cleanest and fastest type of pipe replacement that would allow the convention that they were hosting to continue.

Our video inspection showed a pipe blockage on the bottom floor due to broken cast iron pipe edges (the pipe was 48 years old and very rusted). Regular pipe cleaning with a water jetter was not an option as it could destroy the pipe even more preventing pipe relining. So we used mechanical brushing equipment used in boiler heat exchanger cleaning, which removes corrosion deposits in a dry manner.

Then we moved our Perma-Liner CIPP equipment onto the rooftop, and installed the new pipe liner through the stack that emerged from the roof. There were 2 x 90-degree bends in the lined pipe, but our proprietary multi-sectional air inversion technique allowed for the simultaneous installation of seven sections of pipe liner from only one access point. To date, no other company has been able to replicate this installation without doing a pull-in-place pipe liner.

We deliver CIPP trenchless pipe installations to commercial, municipal and residential properties throughout Texas. We are a qualified Perma-Liner installer operating primarily Dallas and rehabilitate sewer laterals, city sewer main lines, apartment vertical waste stacks and rainleaders.

Cured In Place Pipe is the modern way of pipe replacement that avoids excavations of structures like roads, driveways, parking lots and restaurants and provides great savings in downtime and structure repairs. Pipe replacement by digging can take weeks to complete and is very messy. The Perma-Liner CIPP system only takes 3 hours for the pipe liner to cure and for the rehabilitated pipe to be put back into use.

Recent Project in Dallas:  Residential Pipe Relining on Lakeland Dr

We got a call late at night from a distressed residential customer. Their toilets were clogging, and their sink and shower was draining slow. Trenchless pipe replacement was needed as they were having a function in their home soon and could not have any excavation to replace broken pipes.

Our video investigation of their plumbing showed serious pipe damage, the sewer line pipe was cracked and clogged, causing a blocked sewer line.

The following morning we cleaned the corroded and broken sewer drain line, then we measured the length of pipe liner needed, saturated it with self-hardening resin, and used air pressure to install the liner from the cleanout outside the house. After 3 hours the pipe liner was fully cured and the sewer pipe rehabilitation was complete. Since we specialize in residential pipe lining, we didn’t have to tear up floors, walls and kitchen cabinets.

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.

Recent Philadelphia PA Job:  High Rise Trenchless Sewer Pipe Re-Lining on Market St.

Symptoms: Sewer drain backups, toilets flooding into offices
Problem: Rusted cast iron sewer pipes with missing pipe floor: No-Dig Pipe Rehab Needed.
Location: Market St., Philadelphia PA

Like many businesses, a multi-story office tower needed to have their broken cast iron sewer pipes replaced due to missing pipe floors. The repeated drain backups were causing property damage and lost productivity as carpets and wooden flooring had to be replaced. Trenchless pipe lining was the fastest pipe replacement option for the pipe under the building and the sewer lateral going to the city sewer main line in the road.

Traditional digging and replacement of pipes would have meant that tenants would not have bathroom facilities for a couple of weeks. That would prove too inconvenient and could breach lease agreements. So the landlord opted to have their waste pipes lined instead. The pipe lining has a 50-year labor and materials warranty, and engineering tests estimated the actual life of the new pipe inside the old pipe would be closer to 100 years.

So Craftsman Pipe Lining located and accessed the sewer trunk line outside the building from where they were going to reline 80’ upstream under the building, and then 140’ downstream to where the property border was (the city is responsible for the remaining pipe rehabilitation from the property easement to the sewer main under the road). This type of cured-in-place-pipe (CIPP) rehabilitation work was scheduled to occur at night so there would be no sewer service downtime.

On the first night, the first section of pipe was re-lined, and a robotic cutter was sent into the pipe to cut open the connections where other pipes used to have connections. During the daytime the pipe was completely operational for use by the bathrooms in the office complex. The second night the next section of pipe was lined, and the service connections of adjoining pipes also cut open. So in two nights there was complete sewage pipe replacement that would have taken weeks to complete by excavation.

Recent Project: Sewer Main Line Pipe Rehabilitation (CIPP), Philadelphia PA

Type: 6”-10” VCP clay pipe sewer main lines under roads
Problem: cracks in clay pipe causing sinkholes from pipe collapses and root intrusion at pipe joints causing backups
Location: Mobile Home Community, 1000 Park Avenue, Philadelphia PA

We received an urgent call from a property manager at a large mobile home community in Philadelphia.  A sinkhole in the road was caused by broken clay sewage pipe that needs replacement. The community consists of 800 properties served by sewer main lines that have deteriorated over the last 40 years showing extensive root intrusion, water infiltration, cracked pipes and offset joints.  They were experiencing severe main sewer line back ups and flooding inside homeowners’ properties. The city was not responsible for pipe repairs as the community owned the entire property.

The pipe under the sinkhole was cleaned from within and a “point repair” or “sectional repair” pipe lining was installed where the missing pipe was. The new pipe was as hard as PVC and served as a stand-alone new pipe.

Further video inspection by Craftsman Pipe of the property of 22,000 feet of clay pipe showed 96 other problematic sewage pipe areas.

Initial estimates from plumbing companies to repipe all these drain pipes were in the $2 – $3 million range, but Craftsman recommendedmaking sectional/point repairs only in the areas that were having problems (saving at least $2 million dollars). Work was scheduled over 5 years to ease the assessments on the tenants, and since the sectional pipe lining technology from Perma-Liner allows flow to continue during the pipe relining, no bypass pumping was required.
