Warning Signs
A clean and properly evaluated pipe helps determine whether CIPP is appropriate.
Cured-in-place pipe technology provides a way to rehabilitate certain damaged sewer lines without excavating and replacing the entire existing pipe. Seattle Sewer Company provides evaluations for CIPP pipe lining in Seattle for qualifying residential sewer systems.
CIPP can create a new continuous pipe surface within an aging or damaged sewer line while using the existing pipe as the pathway for installation.
Call Seattle Sewer Company at (206) 495-0376 to ask whether your sewer line may qualify for CIPP pipe lining.
What Is CIPP Pipe Lining?
CIPP stands for cured-in-place pipe.
A flexible liner containing specialized resin is inserted through the existing sewer pipe.
The liner is positioned against the interior of the old pipe and cured until it hardens. The result is a continuous new lining created within the existing sewer line.
Because most of the existing sewer remains underground, CIPP can significantly reduce excavation compared with conventional replacement.
What Can CIPP Pipe Lining Repair?
CIPP may be considered for certain sewer lines experiencing:
- Cracks
- Leaking joints
- Root intrusion
- Corrosion
- Aging pipe materials
- Small structural defects
- Interior deterioration
- Recurring leakage
The existing pipe must still provide a suitable pathway for installation.
CIPP for Older Seattle Sewer Systems
Seattle contains many older homes with clay, concrete, cast iron, and other aging sewer materials.
Over time, joints can deteriorate, cracks can develop, and tree roots can enter through openings.
If the sewer pipe maintains the necessary shape and alignment, CIPP may allow the damaged line to be rehabilitated without excavating its entire length.
Preparing a Sewer Line for CIPP
A sewer line must be evaluated and prepared before installing a CIPP liner.
This may include:
- Sewer camera inspection
- Sewer line cleaning
- Root cutting
- Root removal
- Removing buildup
- Locating damaged areas
- Evaluating structural condition
A clean and properly evaluated pipe helps determine whether CIPP is appropriate.
CIPP vs. Pipe Bursting
CIPP and pipe bursting are both trenchless techniques, but they do different things.
CIPP lining rehabilitates the existing sewer by creating a new interior pipe surface.
Pipe bursting replaces the existing sewer line with a new pipe.
When the existing sewer retains sufficient structural integrity, lining may be considered. More severely deteriorated pipes may require replacement
