Understanding the Pipe Coating Process

Trenchless pipe repair has become the main method for pipe repairs all across the country. The seamlessness of the process along with the stellar results make it far and above the prime way to reinforce existing pipes and avoid the work involved in full replacement.

There are many benefits to internal pipe coating, which is a process that takes much less time and works for both pressurized and non-pressurized systems it is the best option for all types of mechanical pipelines when they have deteriorated or are not allowing a productive flow anymore.

As an economical and efficient process, both home owners and businesses prefer internal pipe coating as opposed to other methods. There is minimal excavation and those in the building can go on with their daily routine during restoration. Pinhole leaks can be repaired with ease during this revolutionary internal pipe coating process.

Having been in North America since 1987, this method of pipe repair has taken some time to become popular. The United States Navy was the first customer to this process. The success is what led others to trying it out.

EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) approval in 1988 was a turning point, and many companies both manufacture and install the liners or internal pipe coating. This gives those companies an edge over others that may do just one or the other.

Regardless, home and business owners will find that this method is extremely affordable in comparison to full replacement. It's also much more economical, which may give the owner peace of mind.

The first step is pipe cleaning. This is where all water is drained from the pipes, and dry heated air is pumped through to ensure there is zero moisture left. Then sandblasting ensues which cleans and removes all corrosion that has built up and destroyed the pipes over time. It also creates a surface that is perfect for allowing epoxy to adhere.

Professionals then apply the internal pipe coating to the piping system using a filter system and quality air. This is done until the pipe is completely coated and a barrier is created consisting of internal pipe coating between the water and the pipe.

The process helps prevent future corrosion. It has been found that if done right, internal pipe coating outlasts all other methods of repair as it seals and protects the pipe's interior. Steel, copper, iron and lead pipes can all benefit from internal pipe coating application.
