There are several different methods for fixing old or damaged pipes. If a pipe has just sprung a simple leak, then a plumber can come and repair it without too much trouble. This process usually involves inserting a pipe about one size smaller into the original and applying expanding urethane foam crack filler in the space between the two pipes. However, if the pipe is either too old or worn-out, then it may need to be replaced. The most common cause of busted pipes is freezing water. When water freezes inside of your pipes it expands. Since pipes are not built to be flexible, repeated expansion and contraction will weaken the integrity of pipes and eventually, they will have to be replaced.

Over time, all types of pipes corrode. Unfortunately, there’s little that can be done to completely prevent wear and tear over time. However, there are processes that can replace or repair corroded pipes and help slow down future corrosion. Some of these processes can be very disruptive, digging up your landscape and shutting off your system for an extended period of time. However, the CIPP restoration process can fix your corroded pipes with minimal disruption.

 The piping systems that lay underneath our homes, offices, and other structures are an essential part of our daily life. They bring us water, remove waste-water and deliver our sewage to the appropriate treatment centers. However, when pipes age, they can become cracked or clogged.
