How Pipes Are Professionally Cleaned and Relined | Art Insider 

this feels more expensive and laborious than replacing the pipe simply and would argue using one time stuff more (not sure). I am guessint this comes into play for sewage pipe which are underground, so replacing would mean, destroying concrete, flooring etc and replacing then the costs would be very high.

@@rahulraviprasad well yeah this was just a demonstration. Obviously it would be much easier and likely cheaper to just replace exposed pipe. This was developed to avoid the need to dig up old pipe.

I'm not entirely sure how you think shoving a long sock into existing pipes is creative or how it's making "old things new". These kinds of procedures are extremely risky and plagued with problems as epoxy can't handle heat, often worsen the existing damage (due to the "chain cleaning" needed + the air pressure + heat curing treatment) and they cannot do anything to aid areas most affected by problems, such as junctions, joints or seals. Epoxy can also be extremely devastating to marine life and if it doesn't adhere to the pipe for whatever reason or falls off after X amount of time, it can cause region-wide damage and clogging.

No man this shit does roots do get in ..

This is really required/interesting in any Plant of any industry where you you don't have the leisure of just "replace the line" and commission it out for a long period of time. Also this is more cheaper for places where you can't just excavate under building/places.

now you can save your time and energy

Work smart, not hard.

This video didn't demonstrate well enough how it can fill both the horizontal pipe and the vertical clean out pipe. What if you have an apartment, for the entire building's drainage pipe, I can't see how this wouldn't block everyone's drains

@@Jack_Krauzers and money

​@@korzym They do it sections. First the main line. After that they drill open any intersections and do the appartment lines.

They did something similar to solve to pin hole leaks in my condo building. 5 years later the epoxy got loose and started clogging hot water to many units. Practically the entire buildings hot water pipes had to be replaced. The company that gave a 25 year warranty went bankrupt.

@@MahirHB1 I'm not in the business, but sounds like the epoxy was not adhered properly to the old inner pip surface.

Just buy new one . Don't be cheap .

Can I ask whereabouts you live?

@@karenday9109 home

How does it work with T, J, and other multiple outlet junctions?

Yeah contractor seem to exaggerate , 40 50 then 80 years.

This is not good for old pipes . Don't do it ! If your old pipes are already too corroded , this tool will damage them to the point it will create an underground leak which can cause tremendous underground damage to your homes structure. Instead. Just accept that you have to replace the drain line . There is nothing difficult about except the exercise of the digging . You can do it yourself.

how has it held up?

The next generation will be screwed because it was done "cheaper".

i work as a chemist and developer specializing in resins for basf and i can only say that epoxy can do a lot.

@@gfde7421 until someone washes something down that reacts with a resin, where it wouldn't with pvc 😂

@@noviceartisan that’s gallons and gallons of nail polish remover 😂

What about the added weight to the pipes? It also narrows the pipe inner diameter. Nothing to ddbe worried about?

@Josue Gonzalez what's that in mm Josue.?

I definitely wouldn't suggest anyone ever do this, though. There's usually a very good reason for an intruded line. Doing this tactic minimizes flow and is never going to be as good as a line replacement.

@@oldandy1645 correct... this process is like putting a band aid on a bullet wound and its very expensive. For the same amount of money if not cheaper you can just get the pipe replaced and it will last longer than this.

@@The_yeffy1 I don’t know about any of this stuff, but didn’t they say it lasts twice as long?

@@thursdaytractiontuesdaytit1325 it’s a sales pitch so they will say anything as long as they don’t put a guarantee on it. A new pipe will last longer and has more structural integrity. This process keeps these guys in business because they will have to keep coming back to fix it. A brand new pipe will keep them out for 30+ years.

I think if the pipes cracked lining it would only be a temporary fix

@@lilithbean no, this is what the lining is made to repair, the resin hardens into a completely solid new pipe inside the old pipe after a couple of hours. it doesnt matter if the old pipe is cracked or disjointed

Even if you have to break concrete, that can be very expensive. I was fortunate when I had to replace my pipes at my house, all I had to do was dig, but if the pipes went underneath concrete or under the house, that would get expensive fast.

Actually, the materials we use in the US are considerably more expensive than jack-hammering. On average it costs twice as much to line than it does to bust up some concrete.

What about the ceramic tile in the kitchen/bath or the hardwood floors? How long is all this gonna take? When you take all that into consideration… Is it worth your wife’s headache?

@@TheBugkillah Very, very uncommon to have wood floors in a basement. If you're solely wanting to discuss a house built on a slab then I see how your questions are pertinent. Pipes under a slab, including a basement, are either iron or pvc. The purpose of a liner is to replace clay tile or patch pvc. Proper maintenance of iron pipes is definitely needed. Descaling or picote machines, that's the machine with chains, should be done every 25 years. Lining an iron pipe is nonsense. If it is structurally sound, just maintain it.

@@joegee3780 bladders are used for point repairs yes.

But they used their hands to grasp the tool!

I came looking for this comment xD

As opposed to having the resin mixed in a factory by machines. I saw no issue with saying that they mixed by hand. However, I do wonder why it was mentioned at all. It's like saying that when building a concrete building they mix water with a dry powder before using it as concrete.

Thats the first thing i noticed as well When i think of mixing by hand i think of someone whisking something with a spoon. This is the equivalent to using a mixer which isn't by hand anymore. Its a machine. They're not mixing anything the tool they're using is mixing it. They're just holding it.

I guess "by hand" doesn't mean what they think it means!

It's mainly used in underground. And it's definitely not cheaper, the pipe itself may be cheaper but now you have to pay for the trench and removal of old pipes and you have to pay for the finish work after the pipes are replaced whether that's concrete put back or tile or grass or black top. Lining will always be cheaper and non invasive

I once had a backup and had to go rent a snake machine on Christmas Eve day!

shit without special instructions is priceless XD

We had this done as well, our house is from 1952 and the old pipes are made of cast iron and some had cracked having roots and dirt enter them, making them clog sometimes several times a month, now the only time we’ve had a clog is when too much dirt from the outside got flushed in through a now closed external drain.

But more expensive in the short or long term? But if you plan to not live there fir the long haul it makes sense to spend less short term

Perhaps relining pipes is the way to go when having to dig and completely replace them is not an option.

Pipe lining is not the best bet when digging the old pipe up is easy. Pipe lining is best for under houses that way you don't habe to tear up the floor. Also if there is a retaining wall or pool etc outside that's in the way of digging it up. Pipe bursting is another way of minimal digging.

You are better off, you will get new pipe down at proper grade and less stuff can go wrong by just digging it up and doing it right. The only time I would recommend a reline is if the line was absurdly deep or if a wall or some other obstacle was in the way of digging.

Yeah if pvc only lasted 25 years that would be a huge problem.

@@mushieslushie Totally. My family would have had to replace the pipes 2 or 3 times in most of the houses we own if it lasted only 25 years. LOL

The cost of PVC has quadrupled this year, so I wouldn’t classify it as inexpensive any more. Also the chemical process to manufacture poly vinyl chloride is quite toxic. It does last indefinitely when not exposed to UV light from the sun, which is good for a drainage pipe but bad for the landfill, although as long as it isn’t burned it is relatively inert.

​@@WaltWW ​ @WaltWW *The cost of PVC has quadrupled this year, so I wouldn’t classify it as inexpensive any more.* Because the cost of petroleum has increased 4 times because of the incompetence in the White House destroying the economy and disrupting the supply chains. And that means everything has increased in cost 4 times. *Also the chemical process to manufacture poly vinyl chloride is quite toxic.* Nope! PVC is created by cracking petroleum and extracting chlorine out of seawater and some other additives. And when you are done polymerizing the waste products are not bad either. Not anymore toxic than anything else. *It does last indefinitely when not exposed to UV light from the sun, which is good for a drainage pipe but bad for the landfill, although as long as it isn’t burned it is relatively inert.* Nope! When the correct additives are put in PVC, PVC lasts forever in UV light. My father has some PVC that is at least 40 years old exposed in direct Arizona sunlight 24/7, and the worst that has happened to it is that it gets slightly discolored. Cut it with a saw or knife and it's like brand new. All except the topmost .001 inches. I would not use PVC pipe as a direct fitting for a spigot or exposed to the air due to freezing or breaking it off. But PVC is a miracle plastic that is cheap, safe and lasts forever. You couldn't ask for a better plastic. And if you put it in the landfill and it lasts for the next 700,000 years, so what? Non-toxic and does not release chemicals. Compare that with the polybutylene nightmare back in the 2000s, and I am not convinced that PEX is much better. If I built a home, it's PVC Schedule 80 and/or copper 100% and ABS for drains and sewers. Would last forever.

@@bryanboone7363 you forgot to say thanks joe , let's go brandon

That was the first thing I was thinking, and then they start fisting it...

You lie.

it's not plastic though

It's a polymer, just like plastic and the microplastic will end up in our oceans, groundwater and fish

I just wonder how long it really lasts. I say that because the old iron pipe will continue to rust. As it rusts it expands and shrinks the size of the opening, that would crack the new epoxy pipe. As it cracks, more water gets behind it helping it rust faster, etc. Just my thoughts. Idk. Rust has to go somewhere..it cracks concrete, it lifts and cracks brickwork on houses from rust lintels, etc.

I love drinking microplastics

You really need to try very hard to damage dry cured epoxy. It is much tougher than pvc. Yet doesn't rust and become brittle like iron.

That is for someone else to worry in 50 years lol. But by then I'm sure there will be new ways to fix them.

The warranty on a CIPP (cured-in-place-piping) job like this is 50 years.

@@poppinthatcootchie6796 There are several variations of this process in use today. It's not theoretical.

@@IHateHandleNames many sewer pipes are made of clay. You can imagine that is more brittle than resin. Composite resin pipe has higher crush and burst strength than UPVC or AC pipe but you are probably right that it is less flexible.

@@thorr18BEM Its more flexible than PVC and has no joints to break or move causing offsets with.

what

For the last 10 years or so in America, every promise from every leader has included the updating or repairing of our crumbling infrastructure. So watching a video on repairing a key part of that infrastructure is not only informative to the population but also inspiring to others and providing hope for the future of infrastructure:) Hopefully that answered your “what”

I recently had this process done. The company that I chose to do the job had a sophisticated, large flex-type Dremel with a cutting head / camera to cut the connecting holes to the main sewer line. After the liner was installed and cured, one worker moved the hose around at the direction of the other worker who had a laptop and controlled the cutting process from inside the liner. Very precise work. Other companies gave bids that required digging extra trenches and doing the connections manually.

well to be honest are you really going to mix epoxy resin by hand, you’d never get through it. I think what she meant is they didn’t have to buy it premixed or have to use an industrial mixer. Idk whatever

They do have t connections you line both lines to the T and then have a smaller T shaped liner that is fed in and lines over both completing the seal.

@@1WithTheDark awesome! Thank you for the insight.

It depends. Bursting is obviously better in that an entirely new pipe is put into place. For larger diameters, and cost conscious municipalities, lining may be preferred. Also, sensitive areas that need no disturbance may be better for lining as bursting usually requires some, albeit minimal excavation for entry and exit.

I own 3.1 patent in the solar system and I too am impressed eventhough I am rarely impressed. Yes. I give my concurence to your concurrent. Yes indeed.

You wouldn’t really be able to see it though. You would only be able to see it at the very beginning and end of the pipes, which is exactly what you see here

@@garticus4426 they could use the same camera that they used in the old pipes that wouldn’t be hard to see results after. The problem would be getting that pressurized sleeve to get through fittings. It would only work on straight lengths.

@@calebking1002 When performing this work, you line over any connections. Then you take a cut-out machine and cut through any connections that were lined over. Also, there are many forms of this technology: this video shows a "blow in place" method. There is also "drag in place" where the connections are already cut into the liner. This works on more than just sections of straight pipe.

I was thinking the same thing lol 😂

Hope so, implementing this at works soon.
