Ways to Repair PVC Pipes

To help you navigate the replacement or repair of your PVC pipes, we have outlined various ways you can replace or repair your pipes, such as trenchless pipe repair in Newton, MA.

Cured-in-place pipe lining (CIPP)

CIPP is a trenchless pipe lining method that uses epoxy to strengthen and seal a broken pipe internally. After putting a liner soaked with epoxy in the existing pipe, we use special inflation equipment to expand the liner to ensure it forms a bond to the old pipe. Once cured, the liner fixes leaks resulting from cracks and any other damage in the drainpipe.

Pipe Bursting

Pipe bursting is another method for trenchless pipe replacement. Instead of repairing the old pipe, we use this method to replace the old underground pipe. The process uses the infrastructure that already exists in the sewer lines. The equipment works as a guide for placing new pipes with minimal disturbance to the ground. We replace the old pipe with a pneumatic hammer or a bursting head. We then break the old pipe and shift it outwards into the nearby soil and fill the existing pipe's space with the new pipe.

Pipe Lining

Pipe lining is a trenchless sewer replacement method that involves placing new pipe tubing saturated with epoxy into existing pipes, expanding the tubing, and curing it into place with steam or blue light LED technology. It's essentially putting a pipe in a pipe.
