Jonesboro, AR – (JonesboroRightNow.com) – Pipelining repairs failing or damaged pipes without destroying your home or property, and is a proven alternative that’s faster, less expensive, and less invasive.
In traditional pipe replacement, a plumber will remove the failing pipe and replace it with a new pipe. Depending on the situation, this will require tearing out walls, floors, and/or landscaping.
As a result, this repair method has many disadvantages, including creating a messy construction site, taking significant time to complete, and being pricey.
However, there is a less expensive – and easier – alternative: NuDrain pipelining.
NuDrain, from NuFlow Technologies, is a lining technology used to rehabilitate sections of pipework, such as drains, by pulling in a ‘Cured In Place’ liner. Cured in place pipe (CIPP) lining solutions are nondestructive, eco-friendly, noninvasive, cost-effective, and can be installed in a fraction of the time.
The way the technology works is simple: a felt-based liner is formed over an inflatable bladder that’s saturated in epoxy resin. This is pulled into place inside the existing host pipe and inflated.
After the epoxy cures, the bladder is deflated and removed, leaving a new pipe inside the old pipe. This forms a structural barrier with ring strength.
Chris West Plumbing is a NuFlow Certified Contractor, meaning our plumbers have been rigorously trained and certified by NuFlow Technologies. This includes a thorough initial contractor training, an online continuing education series, a multitude of unique industry-specific educational intensives, as well as ongoing support and quality assurance practices from the NuFlow team.
Below are the steps we’ll take if you think you need NuDrain pipeling:
Step 1: Inspection and Diagnosis
As a NuFlow Certified Contractor, we will inspect the existing pipes for any corrosion, roots, or cracks using a drain camera. Based on these results, we will recommend a plan for cleaning and lining if necessary.
Step 2: Cleaning
Debris, roots and corrosion are removed from the pipes using specialized tools, restoring the pipe back to its original diameter.
Step 3: Pipelining
A resin-saturated liner with an internal bladder is inserted through the pipe using existing access points in your plumbing system. Once in place, the bladder is inflated, pressing the resin against the pipe wall.
Step 4: Curing and Evaluation
The resin is left to cure, and the bladder is removed, leaving behind a clean, strong and seamless “pipe within a pipe.” We will perform a final inspection for quality assurance.
