I've been a corrosion engineer for 26 years and have seen a lot of corroded pipes in my time. For pipe interiors, this is a great method to prolong the life. The outside of the pipe which is buried in the ground can be protected with a protective coating system and an electrochemical method widely used called cathodic protection. Coatings, linings and cathodic protection can increase the useful life of metallic pipes by dozens of years or longer, if properly installed and maintained. Great video 📹 👍 👏
Technology is sure doing a great job, just look at how well the earth, the environment, and all its species are doing now that technology is more advanced than ever!
Great for cracked pipes under slabs or in walls where it would be tough to replace. More expensive than pvc alone, but less expensive than tearing up slabs or walls.
Even if you have to break concrete, that can be very expensive. I was fortunate when I had to replace my pipes at my house, all I had to do was dig, but if the pipes went underneath concrete or under the house, that would get expensive fast.
Actually, the materials we use in the US are considerably more expensive than jack-hammering. On average it costs twice as much to line than it does to bust up some concrete.
What about the ceramic tile in the kitchen/bath or the hardwood floors? How long is all this gonna take? When you take all that into consideration… Is it worth your wife’s headache?
@@TheBugkillah Very, very uncommon to have wood floors in a basement. If you're solely wanting to discuss a house built on a slab then I see how your questions are pertinent. Pipes under a slab, including a basement, are either iron or pvc. The purpose of a liner is to replace clay tile or patch pvc. Proper maintenance of iron pipes is definitely needed. Descaling or picote machines, that's the machine with chains, should be done every 25 years. Lining an iron pipe is nonsense. If it is structurally sound, just maintain it.
I love how they omit to mention the shrinkage in diameter and flow of the pipes. It's definitely insignificant when compared to a clogged pipe. I'm sure however, that there is a minimum diameter requirement for pipes, to be repairable using this method. Nonetheless, the method its genius!
I can't believe this just came up for me as a recommended video, thanks so much! It was only two week ago we had the drains cleaned, and the contractors said we had cracked pipes and would need to dig up the whole of the front of the house. Defo something I'll look into this thank you!
@@lilithbean no, this is what the lining is made to repair, the resin hardens into a completely solid new pipe inside the old pipe after a couple of hours. it doesnt matter if the old pipe is cracked or disjointed
Yeah Google knows way more about you than you think. Most likely it tracked that you were speaking to contractors so understood that this kind of work is going on at your house, so this video came up in your feed. Trust me it's not accidental
@@PrateekJain-pi9jc you sometimes get recommendations based on google search history, but i got this without expressing any interest in plumbing... its just a cool popular video
You can also run cables along with these inliners "outside" the new pipe: If you use fiber cables, for example, specialized controllers can detect if and where you have a new leak (or: the first leak in your pipe) AND you can still use the cable for a data transport. People are also researching, whether this technology can be used to make existing methane / natural gas or even oil pipelines fit for hydrogen transport, which is a huge challenge for all involved materials.
i had this procedure done several years ago. When the city replaced old septic tanks and hooked my house to the sewer network, the digging apparently disrupted the concrete pipes that lead from my foundation out to where the septic tank was located. this resulted in roots getting into the cracks and clogging up the sewerline. instead of an expensive job of digging up the pipes and replacing them, the norwegian company SJT in my area went down a 90 degree inspection tube and performed this procedure. never had an issue since..
We use this method on our stormwater pipes, usually about 36” in diameter and sometimes bigger but we were told the life expectancy is over 80 years. Sure saves a lot of time not having to dig up the old pipe and worry about utilities, landscape, sidewalks, or roads.
This is not good for old pipes . Don't do it ! If your old pipes are already too corroded , this tool will damage them to the point it will create an underground leak which can cause tremendous underground damage to your homes structure. Instead. Just accept that you have to replace the drain line . There is nothing difficult about except the exercise of the digging . You can do it yourself.
I work for a plumbing company in Ontario that does pipe lining, one would be surprised how many different ways there is to do it, my favourite thing is always seeing the wonder in a clients eyes when we show them the finished product of a well done liner
I’ve been using this same system here in the US for years now. He’s actually using flex liner which is easy to work with. The red tube is actually calibration tube that holds the flex liner tight against the pipe as it cures.
@@BlueFlash215 I’m going off what she was saying not so much what we were looking at. After all she called the pressure drum a compressor and the cal tube liner.
I work for a company in BC that does this. We don't use a flex liner. We have a boiler/compressor trailer that sends compressed air to shoot the liner and when in place steam to start the cure.
It is until you are the guy cutting the tip of the endings down in the sewage system :D I always carried a flamethrower with me to defend against hoards of rats :))
As opposed to having the resin mixed in a factory by machines. I saw no issue with saying that they mixed by hand. However, I do wonder why it was mentioned at all. It's like saying that when building a concrete building they mix water with a dry powder before using it as concrete.
Thats the first thing i noticed as well When i think of mixing by hand i think of someone whisking something with a spoon. This is the equivalent to using a mixer which isn't by hand anymore. Its a machine. They're not mixing anything the tool they're using is mixing it. They're just holding it.
I’m glad this is an option. I’m dealing with trash in my pipes (rental) and need to fix. But I may opt to just replace since my house is only 905 sq ft with 1 bath, kitchen, hot water heater, & laundry. I may do some conversions though.
It's mainly used in underground. And it's definitely not cheaper, the pipe itself may be cheaper but now you have to pay for the trench and removal of old pipes and you have to pay for the finish work after the pipes are replaced whether that's concrete put back or tile or grass or black top. Lining will always be cheaper and non invasive
Crazy thing is I have looked into the relining option, we have clay sewer pipes 😓 and in my area it's actually more expensive then just having them dig out the pipe and replace it, which doesn't seem logical to me
Pipe lining is not the best bet when digging the old pipe up is easy. Pipe lining is best for under houses that way you don't habe to tear up the floor. Also if there is a retaining wall or pool etc outside that's in the way of digging it up. Pipe bursting is another way of minimal digging.
You are better off, you will get new pipe down at proper grade and less stuff can go wrong by just digging it up and doing it right. The only time I would recommend a reline is if the line was absurdly deep or if a wall or some other obstacle was in the way of digging.
We had this done and it was the best thing we ever did. We had to have plumbers come annually to snake the pipe because of tree roots and it always seemed to happen at Christmas time. It's not cheap however and was not covered by insurance....but (knock on wood) haven't had an issue since! We can 💩 without having to give our guests special instructions when they use the bathroom 😆
We had this done as well, our house is from 1952 and the old pipes are made of cast iron and some had cracked having roots and dirt enter them, making them clog sometimes several times a month, now the only time we’ve had a clog is when too much dirt from the outside got flushed in through a now closed external drain.
"This will last 50 years which is twice as long as PVC...." Yeah that's a complete lie. The USA, Canada, and Australia have performed dig up studies of PVC pipe after 100 years and found 0.00% pipe degradation. PVC is one of the most amazing plastics that has ever been invented. The chemicals to make it are super cheap, and the waste and pollution materials are very small, and the plastic lasts forever if you set it and bury it properly in the ground. The only thing you have to be mindful of is to keep massive tree roots away from the pipes and the PVC pipe will outlast 10 generations. But you have to keep trees away from all pipes. Not just PVC.
The cost of PVC has quadrupled this year, so I wouldn’t classify it as inexpensive any more. Also the chemical process to manufacture poly vinyl chloride is quite toxic. It does last indefinitely when not exposed to UV light from the sun, which is good for a drainage pipe but bad for the landfill, although as long as it isn’t burned it is relatively inert.
@@WaltWW @WaltWW *The cost of PVC has quadrupled this year, so I wouldn’t classify it as inexpensive any more.* Because the cost of petroleum has increased 4 times because of the incompetence in the White House destroying the economy and disrupting the supply chains. And that means everything has increased in cost 4 times. *Also the chemical process to manufacture poly vinyl chloride is quite toxic.* Nope! PVC is created by cracking petroleum and extracting chlorine out of seawater and some other additives. And when you are done polymerizing the waste products are not bad either. Not anymore toxic than anything else. *It does last indefinitely when not exposed to UV light from the sun, which is good for a drainage pipe but bad for the landfill, although as long as it isn’t burned it is relatively inert.* Nope! When the correct additives are put in PVC, PVC lasts forever in UV light. My father has some PVC that is at least 40 years old exposed in direct Arizona sunlight 24/7, and the worst that has happened to it is that it gets slightly discolored. Cut it with a saw or knife and it's like brand new. All except the topmost .001 inches. I would not use PVC pipe as a direct fitting for a spigot or exposed to the air due to freezing or breaking it off. But PVC is a miracle plastic that is cheap, safe and lasts forever. You couldn't ask for a better plastic. And if you put it in the landfill and it lasts for the next 700,000 years, so what? Non-toxic and does not release chemicals. Compare that with the polybutylene nightmare back in the 2000s, and I am not convinced that PEX is much better. If I built a home, it's PVC Schedule 80 and/or copper 100% and ABS for drains and sewers. Would last forever.
They typically use this process under roads where the road is in excellent condition or where full excavation would be difficult. The video though is only for private pipes and really did not go into detail about how they address issues such as connections along the pipe; those have to all be cored as they are blocked by the re-lining process. It is actually one of the more innovative parts of the re-lining process.
I recently had this process done. The company that I chose to do the job had a sophisticated, large flex-type Dremel with a cutting head / camera to cut the connecting holes to the main sewer line. After the liner was installed and cured, one worker moved the hose around at the direction of the other worker who had a laptop and controlled the cutting process from inside the liner. Very precise work. Other companies gave bids that required digging extra trenches and doing the connections manually.
We just had a trenchless done, and it saved us thousands in yard and street damage. They guaranteed it for 50 years and it’s projected to last around 100 👍🏼 Worth the money, no question.
I use to do this sort or thing for a living about 40 years ago and alot has changed . We had a contract to clean a number of mains in a small town . We had a big pumper truck that would attach to the top of a disassembled fire hydrant with a place to load a giant bullet . Basically a big sponge bullet the diameter of the pipe was forced down into the main with the city water shut off and valves shut off on the side streets . You better hope the city drawings are accurate . Basically you could steer where the bullet went and what hydrant it was coming out of by shutting off certain valves along the route . We lost some , like i said drawings arent always accurate but recovered thankfully . Bullet would go in whole and come out the other hydrant alot smaller . you knew the bullet was on the way when all the tuberculation starts pouring out by the buckets , if the bullet did its job . Last out is whats left of the bullet , like a limp dick , soaked with water , saggy and much smaller . This procedure is repeated till the bullet is close to the same size in and out .This all happens in the middle of the night when everyone is sleeping , they are notified though ..
@@DavidLinn i didnt think anyone would even read this novel but yes it was a long time ago . I hated that job especially the time of year and time of day we did this . Its just a memory now and thanks for taking the time to read it ..
Interesting..but if you 'lost some' wouldn't there be a clog/backup? My numbnuts landlord has a few different size rubber bladders that sort of worked unclogging. Also used cutters on snake but finally called city crew to clear roots last year. Looks like it's that time again:/
@@brianstratton8767 Yes there would be a backup which is why what goes in must come out at all cost . I had performed this procedure a couple times and sometimes the city plans are wrong but we never left a bullet behind . I am sure today there is a better way but this was 40 years ago and i am long past that job and glade . You werent going home till we were able to turn the water back on by morning . Was one hell of a job although i have been a auto mechanic for the last 37 years which is not much better . lol Have a good night Brian and thanks for your interest on a topic i didnt think anybody would be interested in ..
PVC Pipe has a life span of 100 years; not 25. The video states that the resin lasts 50 years, or twice as long as a PVC pipe. Either the life span is half that of PVC, or it is 200 years and not 50.
Yeah this video is inaccurate in several ways..also I noticed they didn't show how to join other pipes underground for inlets/outlets. It looks cool but very limited practical applications
@@IHateHandleNames many sewer pipes are made of clay. You can imagine that is more brittle than resin. Composite resin pipe has higher crush and burst strength than UPVC or AC pipe but you are probably right that it is less flexible.
THANK YOU, I NEEDED TO SEE HOW THEY WOULD REPLACE OR FIX WATER SEWER PIPES, BECAUSE THEY WILL BE DOING OUR NEIGHBORHOOD SOON, AND WE DID NOT KNOW, IF WE WOULD HAVE TO MOVE OUT OR NOT, SO NOW THAT I SEE THE NEW TECHNOLOGY THEY ARE USING TO FIX NEW PIPES, IT HAS SET MY MIND AT EASE, HOPEFULLY THEY WILL USE THIS MENTOD. THANKS AGAIN...😀
Huh never even imagined that epoxy could be used for that purpose. It is a great material that is for sure. I have epoxy flooring in my workshop and after 15 years it still looks brand new, all sorts of heavy tools have been dropped on it and they never even make a dent.
Everybody’s giving it the big thumbs up. Okay, great. But nobody seems to be asking the relevant questions that consumers want to know-such as: Where do you get the stuff? Is it readily available everywhere? (I’m in California.) How do you arrange to have it done on your own pipes? And what is the exact procedure? (Does every pipe on the property need to be completely excavated in order to make this whole process work?) And of course, what is the cost of doing so?
Hey, so we had it done a couple of years ago. (Cali). We opted to obtain a sewer permit which was just under $300. We used a plumber that our contractor friend worked with. I don't remember exactly how much, but I want to say under $1200 including the permit cost. We only had to do it from the end of our front yard, by the sidewalk, because we had already replaced the clay pipe with pvc pipe up to that point. The cost for this work was THOUSANDS less. We would have had to also re-pave the street because it was just done the year prior.
I'm in LA, but the name of the plumbing company was "Drain Aid". I opted for a permit, because an inspector comes out to check it once it is done, and you have proof it is done if you decide to sell.
I'm in Minnesota and currently having this done. Most plumbers here offer it. One small section of my sewer line is bellied and needs to be replaced, but the rest will be lined. It's half the price of excavating the whole line and there will be no damage to any concrete. I'm grateful and amazed by the technology.
Interesting technology. It allows to use old metal pipes together with plastic tube inside. Metal has good durability and protection from outer influence and plastic has possibility to serve 50 years.
I just wonder how long it really lasts. I say that because the old iron pipe will continue to rust. As it rusts it expands and shrinks the size of the opening, that would crack the new epoxy pipe. As it cracks, more water gets behind it helping it rust faster, etc. Just my thoughts. Idk. Rust has to go somewhere..it cracks concrete, it lifts and cracks brickwork on houses from rust lintels, etc.
Very cool innovation. We need this in our kitchen. But what happens after it's damaged again? Recoating will make the inner circle smaller and smaller.
well to be honest are you really going to mix epoxy resin by hand, you’d never get through it. I think what she meant is they didn’t have to buy it premixed or have to use an industrial mixer. Idk whatever
1:10 - idk why, but I instinctively closed my mouth here. To prevent debris from flying into it 😑 or touching my lip. Thanks brain. Good to know you still have me covered 🎓🙊🙊🙊
How is that sustainable? Those epoxies are petroleum based, they're energy intensive to create, they have toxic side products, and we have no idea what kind of effects they have while they breakdown long term.... If you actually, and I mean actually, look into it, since agriculture and civilization 10,000 years ago, our species has yet to create anything truly sustainable and there's literally never been a single example of a sustainable civilization in all that time. These alleged "green" energies are a joke too... Photovoltaic panels require fine grade quartz to manufacture and the mining and refining process is so energy intensive that the solar panel can't even offset the environmental impact of that mining process, a d that would be true even if solar panels were able to triple their efficiency. It's just like how people think electric cars are the answer when in fact there is LITERALLY not enough lithium on the entire planet to convert all the vehicles ALREADY in existence to battery power, let alone as our population grows to the 15 billion projected before the end of the century. BTW, numerous teams of scientists and modelers have tried to create a model in which the human population can get its resource consumption down to sustainable levels that will prevent catastrophic climate change, and even when they assume a completely unrealistic level of technological development and political will, they still can't create a model in which it's possible, and they can't even create such a model with our CURRENT population numbers. Not trying to be a bummer, just trying to dispel the widely held and incorrect belief that nearly everyone has in thinking that technology will miraculously solve the environmental crisis and save our species when not only is there literally zero evidence to support such a belief, but near endless amounts of evidence to show it can't and won't.
I used to do trenchless lining for various city sewers across PA and surrounding states…it was relatively new when my company started back in 05 or so…it’s a very clean and quick process compared to digging and replacing.
Yes, quite ingenious. But this demo is only on a length of simple straight pipe. Would love to see actual on-site work where pipes are longer, with Tees or complex joints and location not so easily accessible. That would be a real eye opener.
You wouldn’t really be able to see it though. You would only be able to see it at the very beginning and end of the pipes, which is exactly what you see here
@@garticus4426 they could use the same camera that they used in the old pipes that wouldn’t be hard to see results after. The problem would be getting that pressurized sleeve to get through fittings. It would only work on straight lengths.
@@calebking1002 When performing this work, you line over any connections. Then you take a cut-out machine and cut through any connections that were lined over. Also, there are many forms of this technology: this video shows a "blow in place" method. There is also "drag in place" where the connections are already cut into the liner. This works on more than just sections of straight pipe.

So watching a video on repairing a key part of that infrastructure is not only informative to the population but also inspiring to others and providing hope for the future of infrastructure:) Hopefully that answered your “what”
SO COOL!!!🤯 Just amazed at the new tech & innovations coming out these days!! Also fun to watch polycrete leveling videos! Along the same lines by being much more labor efficient & dramatically less invasive!! Same with 3d printing tiny homes! Tho material cost is higher, labor is the highest cost for almost any business!! Excited to see what's next!!!
It depends. Bursting is obviously better in that an entirely new pipe is put into place. For larger diameters, and cost conscious municipalities, lining may be preferred. Also, sensitive areas that need no disturbance may be better for lining as bursting usually requires some, albeit minimal excavation for entry and exit.
That's really clever ! I am rarely impressed by "cleverness", as many solutions are dictated by the local conditions and if you "listen" carefully to the environment solutions come up almost "by themselves". But this is beyond obvious; it is both daring and innovative. I am an inventor and hold 2 patents in 3 countries, so over time I have had the time, the motivation and the opportunity to learn how to differentiate between what I call "speculative innovation" and "real innovation". This is real innovation. What I mean by "real" in this context is that this solution doesn not repair cracks, but what it is "held" responsible for the cracks: the material of the pipe. A solution for reparing the cracks in this circumstance, would have been a "speculative innovation" ( that's my term for fake innovation) because the probability of occurance of some other cracks would have not been removed. This solution does that.

Simply ingenious. I heard about and saw them being installed through other videos, but never explained and broken down like this. Excellent demo.
I can't believe this just came up for me as a recommended video, thanks so much! It was only two week ago we had the drains cleaned, and the contractors said we had cracked pipes and would need to dig up the whole of the front of the house. Defo something I'll look into this thank you!
I think if the pipes cracked lining it would only be a temporary fix
@@lilithbean no, this is what the lining is made to repair, the resin hardens into a completely solid new pipe inside the old pipe after a couple of hours. it doesnt matter if the old pipe is cracked or disjointed
Yeah Google knows way more about you than you think. Most likely it tracked that you were speaking to contractors so understood that this kind of work is going on at your house, so this video came up in your feed.

You can also run cables along with these inliners "outside" the new pipe: If you use fiber cables, for example, specialized controllers can detect if and where you have a new leak (or: the first leak in your pipe) AND you can still use the cable for a data transport.
People are also researching, whether this technology can be used to make existing methane / natural gas or even oil pipelines fit for hydrogen transport, which is a huge challenge for all involved materials.
Ok corny ass 🥷🏿
Researching? Nah, it's being done without the research, don't worry
@@eustatic3832 As an admixture to a certain extent and - of course - in the USA, yes.
i had this procedure done several years ago. When the city replaced old septic tanks and hooked my house to the sewer network, the digging apparently disrupted the concrete pipes that lead from my foundation out to where the septic tank was located. this resulted in roots getting into the cracks and clogging up the sewerline. instead of an expensive job of digging up the pipes and replacing them, the norwegian company SJT in my area went down a 90 degree inspection tube and performed this procedure. never had an issue since..

what did you have in mind?
We use this method on our stormwater pipes, usually about 36” in diameter and sometimes bigger but we were told the life expectancy is over 80 years. Sure saves a lot of time not having to dig up the old pipe and worry about utilities, landscape, sidewalks, or roads.
How does it work with T, J, and other multiple outlet junctions?
Yeah contractor seem to exaggerate , 40 50 then 80 years.
This is not good for old pipes .
Don't do it !
If your old pipes are already too corroded , this tool will damage them to the point it will create an underground leak which can cause tremendous underground damage to your homes structure.
Instead. Just accept that you have to replace the drain line .
There is nothing difficult about except the exercise of the digging .
You can do it yourself.
how has it held up?
The next generation will be screwed because it was done "cheaper".
I work for a plumbing company in Ontario that does pipe lining, one would be surprised how many different ways there is to do it, my favourite thing is always seeing the wonder in a clients eyes when we show them the finished product of a well done liner
I’ve been using this same system here in the US for years now. He’s actually using flex liner which is easy to work with. The red tube is actually calibration tube that holds the flex liner tight against the pipe as it cures.
I understand it like that. Did they state it differently? Or am I missing something?

"They mix the resin by hand." Immediately followed by them using a drill to mix the resin.
But they used their hands to grasp the tool!
I came looking for this comment xD
As opposed to having the resin mixed in a factory by machines.
I saw no issue with saying that they mixed by hand. However, I do wonder why it was mentioned at all. It's like saying that when building a concrete building they mix water with a dry powder before using it as concrete.
Thats the first thing i noticed as well When i think of mixing by hand i think of someone whisking something with a spoon. This is the equivalent to using a mixer which isn't by hand anymore. Its a machine. They're not mixing anything the tool they're using is mixing it. They're just holding it.
I guess "by hand" doesn't mean what they think it means!

A prime example of mankind's ingenuity, instead of using it for badness, we can use it for so much good, like this!
I’m glad this is an option. I’m dealing with trash in my pipes (rental) and need to fix. But I may opt to just replace since my house is only 905 sq ft with 1 bath, kitchen, hot water heater, & laundry. I may do some conversions though.
Don’t know how I got to this channel but I’m not mad at it 😂. Cool video
Pvc cheaper than epoxy. But this method will be good for places where new pipes can't be installed or under ground maybe.
It's mainly used in underground. And it's definitely not cheaper, the pipe itself may be cheaper but now you have to pay for the trench and removal of old pipes and you have to pay for the finish work after the pipes are replaced whether that's concrete put back or tile or grass or black top. Lining will always be cheaper and non invasive
Crazy thing is I have looked into the relining option, we have clay sewer pipes 😓 and in my area it's actually more expensive then just having them dig out the pipe and replace it, which doesn't seem logical to me
But more expensive in the short or long term? But if you plan to not live there fir the long haul it makes sense to spend less short term
Perhaps relining pipes is the way to go when having to dig and completely replace them is not an option.
Pipe lining is not the best bet when digging the old pipe up is easy. Pipe lining is best for under houses that way you don't habe to tear up the floor. Also if there is a retaining wall or pool etc outside that's in the way of digging it up. Pipe bursting is another way of minimal digging.
You are better off, you will get new pipe down at proper grade and less stuff can go wrong by just digging it up and doing it right.
The only time I would recommend a reline is if the line was absurdly deep or if a wall or some other obstacle was in the way of digging.
@@gatorb8 probably true 🤷
This short video might be the only one I’ve ever finished watching. Well done, interesting
Yooo that chain cleaner is so dope
We had this done and it was the best thing we ever did. We had to have plumbers come annually to snake the pipe because of tree roots and it always seemed to happen at Christmas time. It's not cheap however and was not covered by insurance....but (knock on wood) haven't had an issue since! We can 💩 without having to give our guests special instructions when they use the bathroom 😆
I once had a backup and had to go rent a snake machine on Christmas Eve day!
shit without special instructions is priceless XD
We had this done as well, our house is from 1952 and the old pipes are made of cast iron and some had cracked having roots and dirt enter them, making them clog sometimes several times a month, now the only time we’ve had a clog is when too much dirt from the outside got flushed in through a now closed external drain.
@@BradiKal61 Yes....always happens at the worst time!
@@Aegis8836 Ha ha indeed! Its embarrassing! At least they will know ahead of time it wasn't their poop that caused it?
"This will last 50 years which is twice as long as PVC...."
Yeah that's a complete lie. The USA, Canada, and Australia have performed dig up studies of PVC pipe after 100 years and found 0.00% pipe degradation.
PVC is one of the most amazing plastics that has ever been invented. The chemicals to make it are super cheap, and the waste and pollution materials are very small, and the plastic lasts forever if you set it and bury it properly in the ground. The only thing you have to be mindful of is to keep massive tree roots away from the pipes and the PVC pipe will outlast 10 generations. But you have to keep trees away from all pipes. Not just PVC.
Yeah if pvc only lasted 25 years that would be a huge problem.
@@mushieslushie Totally. My family would have had to replace the pipes 2 or 3 times in most of the houses we own if it lasted only 25 years. LOL
The cost of PVC has quadrupled this year, so I wouldn’t classify it as inexpensive any more.
Also the chemical process to manufacture poly vinyl chloride is quite toxic.
It does last indefinitely when not exposed to UV light from the sun, which is good for a drainage pipe but bad for the landfill, although as long as it isn’t burned it is relatively inert.
@@WaltWW @WaltWW *The cost of PVC has quadrupled this year, so I wouldn’t classify it as inexpensive any more.*
Because the cost of petroleum has increased 4 times because of the incompetence in the White House destroying the economy and disrupting the supply chains. And that means everything has increased in cost 4 times.
*Also the chemical process to manufacture poly vinyl chloride is quite toxic.*
Nope! PVC is created by cracking petroleum and extracting chlorine out of seawater and some other additives. And when you are done polymerizing the waste products are not bad either. Not anymore toxic than anything else.
*It does last indefinitely when not exposed to UV light from the sun, which is good for a drainage pipe but bad for the landfill, although as long as it isn’t burned it is relatively inert.*
Nope! When the correct additives are put in PVC, PVC lasts forever in UV light. My father has some PVC that is at least 40 years old exposed in direct Arizona sunlight 24/7, and the worst that has happened to it is that it gets slightly discolored. Cut it with a saw or knife and it's like brand new. All except the topmost .001 inches.
I would not use PVC pipe as a direct fitting for a spigot or exposed to the air due to freezing or breaking it off. But PVC is a miracle plastic that is cheap, safe and lasts forever. You couldn't ask for a better plastic. And if you put it in the landfill and it lasts for the next 700,000 years, so what? Non-toxic and does not release chemicals.
Compare that with the polybutylene nightmare back in the 2000s, and I am not convinced that PEX is much better. If I built a home, it's PVC Schedule 80 and/or copper 100% and ABS for drains and sewers. Would last forever.
@@bryanboone7363 you forgot to say thanks joe , let's go brandon
Her: reviewing a useful product to the people
My dirty mind: Yes
They typically use this process under roads where the road is in excellent condition or where full excavation would be difficult. The video though is only for private pipes and really did not go into detail about how they address issues such as connections along the pipe; those have to all be cored as they are blocked by the re-lining process. It is actually one of the more innovative parts of the re-lining process.
I recently had this process done. The company that I chose to do the job had a sophisticated, large flex-type Dremel with a cutting head / camera to cut the connecting holes to the main sewer line. After the liner was installed and cured, one worker moved the hose around at the direction of the other worker who had a laptop and controlled the cutting process from inside the liner. Very precise work. Other companies gave bids that required digging extra trenches and doing the connections manually.
We just had a trenchless done, and it saved us thousands in yard and street damage. They guaranteed it for 50 years and it’s projected to last around 100 👍🏼 Worth the money, no question.

I use to do this sort or thing for a living about 40 years ago and alot has changed . We had a contract to clean a number of mains in a small town . We had a big pumper truck that would attach to the top of a disassembled fire hydrant with a place to load a giant bullet . Basically a big sponge bullet the diameter of the pipe was forced down into the main with the city water shut off and valves shut off on the side streets . You better hope the city drawings are accurate . Basically you could steer where the bullet went and what hydrant it was coming out of by shutting off certain valves along the route . We lost some , like i said drawings arent always accurate but recovered thankfully . Bullet would go in whole and come out the other hydrant alot smaller . you knew the bullet was on the way when all the tuberculation starts pouring out by the buckets , if the bullet did its job . Last out is whats left of the bullet , like a limp dick , soaked with water , saggy and much smaller . This procedure is repeated till the bullet is close to the same size in and out .This all happens in the middle of the night when everyone is sleeping , they are notified though ..

PVC Pipe has a life span of 100 years; not 25. The video states that the resin lasts 50 years, or twice as long as a PVC pipe. Either the life span is half that of PVC, or it is 200 years and not 50.
Yeah this video is inaccurate in several ways..also I noticed they didn't show how to join other pipes underground for inlets/outlets. It looks cool but very limited practical applications

Huh never even imagined that epoxy could be used for that purpose. It is a great material that is for sure. I have epoxy flooring in my workshop and after 15 years it still looks brand new, all sorts of heavy tools have been dropped on it and they never even make a dent.
Everybody’s giving it the big thumbs up.
Okay, great.
But nobody seems to be asking the relevant questions that consumers want to know-such as:
Where do you get the stuff? Is it readily available everywhere? (I’m in California.) How do you arrange to have it done on your own pipes? And what is the exact procedure? (Does every pipe on the property need to be completely excavated in order to make this whole process work?) And of course, what is the cost of doing so?
Hey, so we had it done a couple of years ago. (Cali). We opted to obtain a sewer permit which was just under $300. We used a plumber that our contractor friend worked with. I don't remember exactly how much, but I want to say under $1200 including the permit cost. We only had to do it from the end of our front yard, by the sidewalk, because we had already replaced the clay pipe with pvc pipe up to that point. The cost for this work was THOUSANDS less. We would have had to also re-pave the street because it was just done the year prior.
I'm in LA, but the name of the plumbing company was "Drain Aid". I opted for a permit, because an inspector comes out to check it once it is done, and you have proof it is done if you decide to sell.
I'm in Minnesota and currently having this done. Most plumbers here offer it. One small section of my sewer line is bellied and needs to be replaced, but the rest will be lined. It's half the price of excavating the whole line and there will be no damage to any concrete. I'm grateful and amazed by the technology.
Interesting technology. It allows to use old metal pipes together with plastic tube inside. Metal has good durability and protection from outer influence and plastic has possibility to serve 50 years.
it's not plastic though
It's a polymer, just like plastic and the microplastic will end up in our oceans, groundwater and fish
I just wonder how long it really lasts.
I say that because the old iron pipe will continue to rust. As it rusts it expands and shrinks the size of the opening, that would crack the new epoxy pipe.
As it cracks, more water gets behind it helping it rust faster, etc.
Just my thoughts. Idk.
Rust has to go somewhere..it cracks concrete, it lifts and cracks brickwork on houses from rust lintels, etc.
I love drinking microplastics
Very cool innovation. We need this in our kitchen.
But what happens after it's damaged again? Recoating will make the inner circle smaller and smaller.
You really need to try very hard to damage dry cured epoxy. It is much tougher than pvc. Yet doesn't rust and become brittle like iron.
That is for someone else to worry in 50 years lol. But by then I'm sure there will be new ways to fix them.
As a plumber ill tell you right now that's the next gwnerations problem just like we've had to solve the generations before us. Its the cycle of life.

How is that sustainable? Those epoxies are petroleum based, they're energy intensive to create, they have toxic side products, and we have no idea what kind of effects they have while they breakdown long term.... If you actually, and I mean actually, look into it, since agriculture and civilization 10,000 years ago, our species has yet to create anything truly sustainable and there's literally never been a single example of a sustainable civilization in all that time. These alleged "green" energies are a joke too... Photovoltaic panels require fine grade quartz to manufacture and the mining and refining process is so energy intensive that the solar panel can't even offset the environmental impact of that mining process, a d that would be true even if solar panels were able to triple their efficiency.
It's just like how people think electric cars are the answer when in fact there is LITERALLY not enough lithium on the entire planet to convert all the vehicles ALREADY in existence to battery power, let alone as our population grows to the 15 billion projected before the end of the century. BTW, numerous teams of scientists and modelers have tried to create a model in which the human population can get its resource consumption down to sustainable levels that will prevent catastrophic climate change, and even when they assume a completely unrealistic level of technological development and political will, they still can't create a model in which it's possible, and they can't even create such a model with our CURRENT population numbers.
Not trying to be a bummer, just trying to dispel the widely held and incorrect belief that nearly everyone has in thinking that technology will miraculously solve the environmental crisis and save our species when not only is there literally zero evidence to support such a belief, but near endless amounts of evidence to show it can't and won't.

Also, there are many forms of this technology: this video shows a "blow in place" method. There is also "drag in place" where the connections are already cut into the liner.

I just had my sewer line replaced with pvc using pipe burst technology. All the plumbers except one said it’s must better than relining the pipe.
It depends. Bursting is obviously better in that an entirely new pipe is put into place. For larger diameters, and cost conscious municipalities, lining may be preferred. Also, sensitive areas that need no disturbance may be better for lining as bursting usually requires some, albeit minimal excavation for entry and exit.
Pure genius whoever invented this.

That's really clever ! I am rarely impressed by "cleverness", as many solutions are dictated by the local conditions and if you "listen" carefully to the environment solutions come up almost "by themselves". But this is beyond obvious; it is both daring and innovative. I am an inventor and hold 2 patents in 3 countries, so over time I have had the time, the motivation and the opportunity to learn how to differentiate between what I call "speculative innovation" and "real innovation". This is real innovation. What I mean by "real" in this context is that this solution doesn not repair cracks, but what it is "held" responsible for the cracks: the material of the pipe. A solution for reparing the cracks in this circumstance, would have been a "speculative innovation" ( that's my term for fake innovation) because the probability of occurance of some other cracks would have not been removed. This solution does that.
I own 3.1 patent in the solar system and I too am impressed eventhough I am rarely impressed. Yes. I give my concurence to your concurrent. Yes indeed.
