Our Pipe Re-Lining Sewage Repair In Coral Gables Restores Cast Iron Drains And Stops All Future Backups For 100 Years!
We offer sewage repair in Coral Gables without the need for excavation. Our trenchless pipe lining technology installs a new inner pipe liner inside the old cast iron drain. The new inner pipe lining is rock hard and will last 100 years. No excavation is needed.
So how does Coral Gables sewage repair by pipe lining work?
First we find the access point outside of your house where all the drains leave to go to the street. At this location, usually in the grass, we dig up the pipe and from here we remove all that rust and scale and sand that’s in the old pipe. We make multiple video inspections to determine when the pipe is smooth and ready to receive a new inner pipe liner.
The new internal pipe lining consists of a long polyester felt tube which is saturated with a self hardening epoxy resin. The epoxy resin is super hard, and can withstand all acidic and alkaline substances. Once the pipe is clean we do a video inspection to see how long the pipe is that has to be relined. The video inspection also tells us where the incoming pipe branch connections are so that we can cut out specific pieces of lining that would normally obscure branch connections. These cutouts are made before the lining is installed.
Once the polyester felt tube has been saturated with epoxy resin come we pull the lining into the pipe and a temporary internal balloon is inflated for 3-4 hours. Later we remove the balloon and install a new external clean out. We make a final video and the pipe can be used immediately.
The whole process takes 1 to 2 days and cost about half as much as excavation. The old method of digging through the floors, or excavating under the house are very old school and should no longer be used.
