Sacramento Pipe Lining

Seeing as pipes are the way all water flows from fixture to fixture or from inside the home to the outside, having pipe problems can cause a great amount of stress. There are several pipe problems that should be addressed by a professional plumber as soon as possible to limit the amount of damage to your property; these include:

• Pipe leaks
• Pipe breaks
• Pipe corrosion
• Sewer main problems
• Water main problems

Pipe Repair Solutions

In the past, a pipe repair would have consisted of excavating the landscaping and tearing through walls and floors. With an upgrade in technology, that is no longer the case. In most instances, pipe repairs can now be completed by relining the pipes. Pipe relining is a revolutionary process that uses the existing pipe as a base while providing a new pipe surface. There are three types of pipe lining solutions:

• Epoxy Lining– Epoxy lining uses food grade epoxy to coat the interior of the pipes. This method fills pin hole leaks, small cracks and gaps and puts a stop to corrosion.
• Resin Pipe Lining– Resin pipe lining uses a liner that has been soaked in a resin and then inserted into your pipes. The liner will harden and provide a durable, structurally sound pipe surface. This option is great for pipes under extreme pressure and pipes with large holes or breaks.
• Slip Lining– If your pipes are too large or there is extensive damage, slip lining may be the best option. A smaller diameter pipe is threaded into the existing pipe, giving you new pipes without the need to remove the old one.

Pipe Lining Benefits

There are several benefits to pipe lining, including:

• Less damage from excavation
• No need to break through walls or floors
• Increased home value
• Essentially new pipe surface with warranties in tact
