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? Learn more about permanent pipe replacement from within 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. Click Pipe Lining to learn more.
EPOXY PIPE LINING: All throughout Phoenix, 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. 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 Phoenix 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 Arizona. 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. Repiping, 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.
Stop Digging For Pipe Replacement
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 anywhere that needed repiping. Our Perma-Liner brand of trenchless technology has a 50year warranty and only takes hours to install, and costs less than pipe replacement.
Any broken or rusted pipe can be relined, whether it’s concrete, copper, cast iron, PVC, clay, 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 Phoenix AZ Job: High Rise Vertical Sewer Stack Rehabilitation On W. Van Buren St.
Symptoms: Sewer leaks in apartment walls and foul odors.
Problem: Rusted cast iron sewer pipes leaking: No-Dig Pipe Repair Needed.
Location: Phoenix, AZ
Recently we received a frantic call from a property manager of a 7-story high building with 28 corroded cast iron waste stacks, and corroded vents and connected cross-over piping. The resulting leaks in the residents’ condos were creating extensive damage to walls and floors in addition to hygiene concerns relating to sewer microorganisms and mould in walls.
The excavation and replacement of the piping would have been too time-consuming, messy and expensive. The elderly residents would have to vacated for 3 weeks while broken leaking pipes were excavated and replaced. Then came the wall and floor restoration work and cleanup.
After much research into the problem the association hired Craftsman Pipe Lining to reline the pipes using the Perma-Liner air inversion process. This repair was the least invasive and most cost-effective repipe method. It only requires one access point for the pipe lining process. The new “liner” was installed from the rooftop where these pipes emerge, and using air pressure the new pipe liner was shot down to the bottom floor. Within 3 hours the liner had hardened becoming the new pipe. So all the sewer pipe repairs or replacement was done from the roof where no residents were inconvenienced.
Recent Project: Phoenix Restaurant on W. Jefferson St.
Type: 4” sewer trunk lines and laterals
Problem: missing cast iron pipe floor causing backups under the floor and root intrusion in laterals
Location: Phoenix
A popular restaurant on W. Jefferson St. had a serious problem: 450’ of corroded cast iron sewer pipes were in danger of collapsing which would stop all food sales amounting to roughly $8,000 per day.
They needed pipe replacement fast, but without any downtime, and it had to be done at night. The economic cost of downtime to replace sewer pipes the old way had to be factored into the cost of traditional pipe replacement.
The first night we cleaned and inspected the collapsing sewer lines. We then prepared the pipe liners for installation on the second night, when Craftsman Pipe Lining used the patented Perma-LinerTM air inversion process to line all 450’ of pipe from a single access hole, in a single night.
After a cure time of 3 hours, a robotic tool was sent down the relined pipes to cut open any connections with other pipes and then a final video inspection was dine and all the pipes checked for good flow. It was estimated by their traditional plumber (who advised against pipe relining of course) that doing the repipe the old-fashioned way would have taken 11 days to complete and cost more than pipe lining. The digging and replacement would have required an industrial concrete wet saw with dust containment tenting to cut through 8” of concrete, then soil excavation and removal, then pipe replacement, soil replenishment, concrete mixing, pumping, pouring and screteing, and…. 7 days of curing before repainting!

No Digging – Los Angeles, CA Relining for Building and Home Service Laterals
No Digging is required when you use our trenchless pipe rehab services. In the past the only way to repair or replace a pipe under your home or business was to dig a trench over the damaged section of pipe. This is no longer required. Our Pipelining service allows us to install a new pipe inside the old damaged, cracked, broken or root infested pipe. No matter how bad your old pipe is, we can clean out the debris and install the new pipe sleeve inside and make the pipe new again.
The most common pipe problems in LA are root infested and leaking seams in cracked clay pipe or rusted cast iron pipe, which typically has a missing pipe floor. Our Perma-Liner system can reline these pipes in a few hours. We can handle laterals anywhere from 2 to 8 inches and using the Permaliner inversion method can install liners in 22′s, 45′s and sweeping 90′s.
Email or call us to get a free estimate to have your pipes lined. It’s so much cleaner, cheaper and faster to have your plumbing pipes fixed without excavating and digging up your concrete foundation, driveway, parking lot, flooring, dry wall, landscaping and other costly items.

Recent Job: Residential Home Pipe lining
Symptoms: Toilets clogging, sink and shower drain slow.
Broken Pipe – Trenchless Pipe Repair Needed.
Location: Los Angeles, CA
We received a call from a Los Angeles, CA home owner that was having serious trouble with their plumbing. The customer said that for over a month they have had trouble with drains, showers and toilets clogging. Using a CCTV video inspection we were able to see serious sewer pipe damage; sewer line pipe was cracked and corroded causing material to build up and block the sewer line. We were able to rehabilitate the old broken pipe and using Perma-Liner equipment and materials to line the pipe using trenchless technology. The pipe liner bridges the spaces forming one new pipe and uses the base of the original pipe to form the new CIPP pipe. The customer insisted the job had to be done fast and without tearing up the driveway to fix the pipe. We specialize in this and can fix any type of residential pipe without the need to tear up the ground including driveways, flooring, sidewalks, grass, flowers and trees.
Recent Project: Los Angeles, CA Office Tower Pipe Rehabilitation
Type: 4” and 6” roof drains (rainleaders)
Problem: Leaking joints in slab
Location: Long Beach, CA
We received an emergency call from the manager of a bank clearing operation in a large office complex. They informed us that they had leaking roof drains when it rained and needed a pipe repaired or replaced quickly. We arrived on location and performed a full video inspection. We found corroded cast iron pipe with large holes and missing portions of pipe were the seams use to connect together. We used video cameras to measure the 120’ length of pipe lining required per drain stack. Then the flexible fabric liner was cut to size, saturated with 100% epoxy, and installed from the rooftop without disrupting the employees work schedule. After 3 hours was allowed for the epoxy to cure, we took another video inspection of the internal pipeline and the pipe looked better than new and had no leaking joints. The entire pipe repair (pipe replacement alternative) was installed in 3 days, whereas pipe replacement by excavation of walls and floors was estimated to have taken 2 months.

Recent Trenchless Pipe Lining Project In Los Angeles, CA: Complete Pipe Blockage at Strip Mall
Problem: Sewer clogging daily. Complete blockage now.
Location: Costa Mesa, California
We received a call from a strip mall in Costa Mesa, CA that has backups into the shops due to a severe sewer blockage. A sewer pipe has been causing sewer clog ups for several tenants in the strip mall shopping center. We started the process with a video inspection of the sewer lines. Our inspector found major damage to the pipe, including corrosion, holes and many cracks in the main sewer pipe, which was causing waste to build up and cause a complete stoppage. The customer wanted to use our pipe lining job to rehabilitate this pipe and restore the pipe back to full capacity without having to tear up the parking lot. We prepared all the pipeline material and using our inversion unit we were able to insert the pipe liner material into the sewer line for installation. After installation and curing the pipe was re-inspected. This job was completed in one day without any digging or destruction of any roads or concrete, and no traffic control was required.

DC Pipe Liner Featured Project: Municipal Pipe Lining Service – Municipal CIPP – Trenchless Pipe Rehab / Repair
| As we offer a wide range of pipe lining services to Washington municipalities that allow them to repair and rehabilitate your existing underground sewer, drains and water pipes, we have great experience in minimizing pipe downtime and pipe rehabilitation cost. It is no longer necessary to replace damaged underground pipes, excavate roads, sidewalks and buildings. We offer the alternative called CIPP (Cured in Place Pipe). One variation of this trenchless technology is called “sectional repair” where only the broken section of pipe is relined. This technology is in use all over the country in many municipalities and we use the best liners and resins available. What makes it so convenient is a flow-though pipe in the center of the inflation bladder that allows sewer flow to continue during the pipe lining installation process. That means the municipalities to not have to redirect traffic around any bypass pumping equipment. The liners we use meet ASTM F1216 specs and are the only lateral pipe liners approved by the Los Angeles, California Department of Building and Safety.
Many DC municipalities are discovering that existing sewage, water and storm drain pipes are starting to fail. Most of these failing pipes are cracked, have root growth coming through, separating or failing joints and corrosion. These failing underground municipal sewer lines, storm drains and water lines are only getting worse. We have the solution. Pipe Lining CIPP Process for Washington DC1. Clean and then perform video inspections of sewer lines, storm drains, manholes or water pipes. 2. Ensure the pipes that are being rehabilitated have had complete debris removal, root growth removal and corrosion. 3. Mix epoxy and resins. Cut pipe liners to correct length. 4. Install the epoxy/resin impregnated pipe liners into the damaged pipe. 5. Let rehabilitated pipes cure for 3 hours. 6. Video inspection and testing.

Pipe Lining / Trenchless Pipe Repair / Pipelining / RePipe Without Digging
June 14, 2010 by admin
Filed under Back-ups & Pipe Lining
Whether you have roots causing blocked drains, rusted iron pipes, leaking pipes in walls or floors, pipe lining is the modern alternative to pipe replacement. In fact, pipe lining IS pipe replacement, as the new lining that is installed inside the old pipe is as thick and strong as new pipe, has a 50-year warranty, only reduces the internal diameter by 5%, and only takes 3 hours to install.
Let’s not forget, since pipe lining requires no excavation, it is cleaner, less invasive and much faster than repiping the old-fashioned way.

Pipelining Is Fast and Clean
In essence, pipe rehabilitation process works like this:
- Clean the pipe using high pressure jetting, or in the case of leaking pipes in apartments, using mechanical brushes
- Video inspect the pipe to gather distance information
- Cut to size the correct length of felt tube liner material that will be impregnated with self-hardening epoxy resin
- Saturate the lining material with the resin and install the liner, usually from outside the building or from the rooftop
- Inflate the liner to push the resin against the inside pipe wall
- Cure for 3 hours
- Video inspect the final lined pipe and test all plumbing
Pipe Lining FAQ:
Which Pipes Can Be Lined?
Pipelining, also known as Cured-In-Place Pipe (CIPP) is used for clay pipe replacement, cast iron pipe repair, HVAC pipe repair, storm drain replacement, golf-course overflow drainage pipes, and most of all sewer pipelining of sanitary sewer pipe.
Does The Whole Pipe Have To Be Lined?
No, especially for clay pipes, only the cracked pipe or root intrusion area is relined. This “sectional repair” is also called a “point repair” and costs a fraction of what relining the whole pipe would cost.
But usually cast iron pipes in residential dwellings and apartments are all of the same age and have experienced the same corrosive environmental conditions, so when one portion of the sewage pipe starts leaking of backing up, usually the rest of the cast iron pipe has to be lined too.
What Type Of Warranty Comes With The Pipe Lining?
This type of sewer pipe repair comes with a 50-year materials and labor warranty.
Do you use an epoxy spray-on system or is it a physical new pipe that you install inside my old pipe?
One common way to line pipes is to spray a thin layer of food-grade epoxy inside the pipe, like the inside of a can of food. This is called “Epoxy Pipe Lining” and it offers no new physical pipe and so the strength is remarkably less than a pipe liner. Epoxy pipe lining is commonly used in drinking water pipes but is not recommended for pipes that bear any physical load. The slightest ground settlement for example will crack the epoxy and the pressurized water will leak out.
How Much Does Pipe Lining Cost?
Trenchless pipe rehabilitation costs much less than a sewer repipe project. For actual cost comparisons of residential pipe lining, commercial pipe lining and apartment pipe lining jobs, see our Featured Projects section.

Highlighted Case Study for 2010: Repeated Sewage Backups On Playground
We were called out to a condominium complex that has been experiencing repeated sewage drain line blockages. But the matter has become more urgent, as various unsanitary products are backing up and then bubbling up into family’s gardens where their small children play!
We video inspected their 8″ main sewer pipe line under the road that receives all the waste from the adjacent condos, and it clearly showed that the clay pipe had cracked and pipe joints had opened up, allowing roots to grow into the broken pipe. Those roots were creating the backups reaching all the way into the first floor bathrooms, and when the upstairs second floor toilets were being flushed, the lower floor toilets and sinks would flood. Homeowners are waking up in the morning to find their bathrooms literally swimming in feces.
Plumbers had been out many times to clear out the roots and obstructions, but the pipe perforations simply allowed the roots to grow back later. After charging customers repeatedly for this service, the plumbing companies ultimately recommended the traditional pipe replacement which is very expensive, messy and time consuming.
To replace 350′ of the problematic pipe the old-fashioned way meant that they would first have to apply for a permit which could take days or weeks. Then all the various utilities companies such as city water departments, cable companies and power companies would have to locate and identify where their assets are buries underground so that the excavation hoe does not break them. During construction all the water supply would have to be shut off to the entire neighborhood for weeks, not to mention the damage to people’s yards and landscaping. Also, part of the pipe passes under a road, so traffic would have to be redirected for a period of time. To make matters even worse, the water table was really high, which meant ground water control would have to be applied along the 350’ stretch of excavation.
The plumbing companies estimated the trenching and replacement of pipe would take around 3-5 WEEKS to do and would cost around $60,000 – $75,000.
We repaired the four problematic pipe sections in 1 day for $22,000 using what are called “point” or “sectional” pipe lining.
Sectional pipe lining only re-lines the portion of pipe that is defective, which is ideal for clay pipes which are much more durable than cast iron or Orangeburg pipes. It is estimated that 95% of all clay pipe is in good condition, leaving only 5% that requires lining. What’s more, the pipe lining technology that we used had a “flow through” pipe which allowed for continuous flow inside the pipe during the repair, so that no-one was inconvenienced in the condominium complex.
Also, since sectional lining is generally considered to be a pipe “repair” not “replacement”, no permitting was required and the work could start immediately.
Pipe relining has been used widely in California where broken sewer pipes are common. Some properties like factories and restaurants simply cannot afford the business losses associated with the downtime of replacing the pipes.
Highlighted Case Study for 2009: Chicago Residential Home Pipe lining
We received a frantic call from a residential customer in Chicago. The customer informed us that their sewer line under their house was backed up. We sent out our pipe lining technicians to perform a video inspection. The pipe lining tech performed a full sewer line pipe inspection using CCTV video inspection. The pipe was severely damaged and multiple cracks were seen as well as severe corrosion and joint leaks. The pipelining technician recommended trench less pipelining to reduce downtime and to avoid having to destroy the landscaping and wooden floors inside the house. Our mobile pipelining team was dispatched onsite and a trenchless job was performed without any problems. We performed a full inspection and it was determined that our installation / re-lining was successful. The property manager was ecstatic that we didn’t have to tear up the ground and the job site was left clean without a mess or any property damage from digging. We aim for a clean work site that looks like we were never there and we take the time needed to get it right the first time. Our plumber/pipe lining techs are all certified and they are constantly being educated on new techniques. We take pride in being the best pipelining company in all of Illinois and it shows.
So Remember, Pipelining offers

Craftsman Pipe Lining – Underground Pipe Repairs
Craftsman Pipe Lining specializes in trenchless pipe repairs with the Perma-Liner™ inversion process that uses the existing pipe as a host for a new inner pipe. Since no excavation is required it is less expensive and faster than traditional dig-and-replace methods, so municipalities and property owners save millions in construction work and downtime. We can line any 2”-10” pipe whether it is cast iron, clay or Orangeburg without damaging utilities and sprinkler lines, and put back in service the same day. If needed, collapsed sections of pipe are replaced with PVC before the entire length of pipe is relined to ensure total seamlessness.
“The plumber quoted $50,000 to replace our sewer plumbing in the walls and in our antique marble floors. We would have had to stay in a hotel for 3-4 weeks! Instead we re-lined the pipe from the roof, through the walls and under the floor for only $10,000 in 1 day.” (Graham Thomas, Clearwater, FL)
Typical Applications
- Damaged sewer lateral relines with water infiltration or ex-filtration
- Hurricane-damaged down spouts, cracked vertical internal gutters in high rises
- Rotted pipes beneath restaurant and factory floors
- Corroded cast iron or deteriorated clay pipes
- Cracked pipes and offset joints from settlement or earthquakes
- Root intrusion & damage
- Repairing storm water lines

Since Perma-Liner™ pipe restoration can be installed quickly and quietly beneath houses, apartment buildings, driveways, sidewalks, landscaping, railways, tunnels, shopping centers, malls, military bases and inside ships, there is usually no need to install a plumbing bypass to handle the regular flow.
Even though the diameter of the resulting pipe is slightly reduced, flow actually improves because the smooth PVC lining has a lower coefficient of friction than concrete or clay.
This technology can rehabilitate a 2″-10″ pipe of any kind, and has stood the test of time. It
- Renews pipe life to a minimum of 50 years as per ASTM 1216 third party testing
- Is IAPMO approved and NSF-Sewer Standard 14 Certified
- The Perma-Lateral™ Lining System / Cured-In-Place Pipe (CIPP) is the only system and materials to be approved for lining pipelines in the City of Los Angeles and New York City. The approval has been granted by the Department of Building and Safety per strict Los Angeles Plumbing Code (LAPC) requirements and 3rd party testing. Perma-Lateral™ Lining Materials meet their strict non-stretch liner requirements. Only Perma-Liner™ provides patent non-stretch lining materials. The Perma-Lateral™ liner allows the installer to invert the liner through the existing building sewer pipeline to the city main sewer connection without stretching into the city sewer main. Normal felt liners without the patent scrim can stretch into the city sewer main and cause blockages that require emergency digging and/or robotic cutting devices.

STRUCTURAL PIPE LINING: Are your sewer pipes backing up from root infestation, or from missing pipe floors or broken sewer pipes? Are your apartment roof rain leader drains leaking into walls of condominiums? Modern structural 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. The internal diameter is only reduced by 5%. 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, this new inner pipe is cheaper, faster and cleaner. Click Pipe Lining to learn more.
EPOXY PIPE LINING: In Chicago, due to it’s thousands of miles of deteriorating water pipe infrastructure, is especially prone to pinhole leaks in corroded or damaged pipes creating slab leaks and it’s leaking galvanized pipes cause water damage and lead leaching into drinking water. Large and small diameter epoxy pipe rehabilitation coats the inside of any pipes with EPA approved food-grade epoxy which permanently seals all leaks. The epoxy coating is applied in varying thicknesses, depending on if it is used in oil refineries, hospitals, hotels, home, factories, aircraft carriers, water pipelines and apartment high-rises.

PIPE BURSTING & SLIP LINING: In some circumstances, pipes cannot be lined so “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 (“slip lining”), thereby reducing the internal diameter somewhat. Click Pipe Bursting / Slip Lining to learn more.
MANHOLE REHABILITATION: Are you experiencing water infiltration or sewer exfiltration? Throughout Illinois sewer old manholes are disintegrating and we offer both physical manhole rehabilitation with fiberglass linings as well as epoxy and polymeric manhole rehabilitation.

Welcome
Our Chicago Illinois trenchless pipe lining company is the only pipe replacement contractor in Illinois that offers a complete array of pipe rehabilitation techniques for residential, commercial, city and industrial applications. Hospitals for example will use Cured-In-Place pipe (CIPP) to rehabilitate their vertical leaking rain drain stacks and leaking sewage pipes, and high-rise apartments would use our epoxy pipe lining process to stop pinhole leaks and slab leaks in their copper water pipes. Cities use our sectional repairs to stop root infiltration at separated clay pipe joints and they use our manhole rehabilitation techniques to stop water infiltration and water exfiltration.
Our modern pipe lining techniques allow the trenchless pipe restoration of broken pipes or cracked sewer pipes without excavating floors, walls, driveways, foundations, basements and concrete slabs. This no-dig method of pipe repair is cleaner, cheaper and faster than excavation and repiping of damaged plumbing in Chicago.
Our Permaliner brand pipe liners have a 100-year life expectancy and come with a 50-year warranty. The pipe liners are installed from one access point, like a rooftop or from an outside cleanout so that there is no invasion of living space or workspace. Although underground pipe lining has been around for over 35 years, small diameter CIPP pipe lining was pioneered by Perma-Liner manufacturing. We are an experienced certified Perma-Liner installer and contractor with extensive experience in high-rise apartment CIPP trenchless pipe replacement, sewer main line lining, industrial pipelining, manhole liners and manhole epoxy lining and residential sewer lateral lining in Chicago Il.
The Structural Pipe Lining Installation Process
- The pipe lining contractor uses a water jetter or mechanical pipe cleaning brushes, remove all scale and corrosion deposits causing drain pipe backups in your broken underground sewer pipes
- Then the pipe lining company uses a video camera to inspect the sewer plumbing pipes and gets a distance measurement for the trenchless underground pipelining
- The pipe liner is cut to length and 100% epoxy resin is mixed and used to saturate the pipe sleeve thoroughly
- The new liner is installed and the epoxy resin saturated pipe liner is allowed to harden under air pressure against the walls of the broken leaking pipe that needs replacement
- After 3 hours the new pipe liner has formed a new inner pipe inside the old pipe and the trenchless pipe process is complete

Featured Project: Chicago Office Tower Pipe Rehabilitation
Type: 4” and 6” roof drains
Problem: Leaking joints in slab
Location: Oak Park, Chicago, Illinois
We received an emergency call from the manager of a bank clearing operation in a large office complex. They informed us that they had leaking roof drains when it rained and needed a pipe repaired or replaced quickly. We arrived on location and performed a full video inspection. We found corroded cast iron pipe with large holes and missing portions of pipe were the seams use to connect together. We used video cameras to measure the 120’ length of pipe lining required per drain stack. Then the flexible fabric liner was cut to size, saturated with 100% epoxy, and installed from the rooftop without disrupting the employees work schedule. After 3 hours was allowed for the epoxy to cure, we took another video inspection of the internal pipeline and the pipe looked better than new and had no leaking joints. The entire pipe repair (pipe replacement alternative) was installed in 3 days, whereas pipe replacement by excavation of walls and floors was estimated to have taken 2 months.

Recent Trenchless Pipe Lining Project In Chicago: Complete Pipe Blockage at Strip Mall
Problem: Sewer clogging daily. Complete blockage now.
Location: Burbank, Illinois
We received a call from a strip mall in Chicago (Burbank, IL) that has backups into the shops due to a severe sewer blockage. A sewer pipe has been causing sewer clog ups for several tenants in the Chicago strip mall shopping center. We started the process with a video inspection of the sewer lines. Our inspector found major damage to the pipe, including corrosion, holes and many cracks in the main sewer pipe, which was causing waste to build up and cause a complete stoppage. The customer wanted to use our pipe lining job to rehabilitate this pipe and restore the pipe back to full capacity without having to tear up the parking lot. We prepared all the pipeline material and using our inversion unit we were able to insert the pipe liner material into the sewer line for installation. After installation and curing the pipe was re-inspected. This job was completed in one day without any digging or destruction of any roads or concrete, and no traffic control was required.
