Main Line CIPP

The mainline is not the only pipe you need to worry about when it comes to your sewer system, but it is arguably the most important. If the mainline is in poor condition, it will have ripple effects throughout the system. So, protecting and repairing the mainline is a top priority. One of the best ways to do that is with CIPP.

The CIPP process is both simple and brilliant. CIPP adds an entirely new layer inside the pipe, one that can extend its lifespan and protect it from all kinds of problems. First, an epoxy composed of resin and fiberglass is mixed. Next, the epoxy is injected into an applicator tube. This tube is then forced down into the pipe, turning inside out as it moves. The action of the applicator turning inside out applies the epoxy evenly to the walls of the pipe, and keeps it there. After a few hours, the epoxy will harden into a tough shell lining the pipe. The applicator is then removed, and the pipe can be put back into service.

Though mainlines have a lot of potential problems to deal with, there are just as many possible solutions that can be used to repair and protect them. CIPP is one of the best solutions invented for mainline repair and replacement over the last several decades. There are all kinds of problems that can afflict mainlines, from corrosion, to leaks, cracks, tree roots, etc. You could replace the entire pipe if you have a lot of these little issues, but in many cases that would just be a waste. Instead, you can line the entire mainline in CIPP at once.
