We need more companies that do this bc there is virtually zero in mid michigan
Hmm Michigan 🤔 Sounds familiar when talking about pipes
This is only for areas with Zero access to actually replace the Cast iron usually. Also in areas where Cast Iron is typically code like NYC pests like rats chewing threw pvc plastic, but cant chew thru cast iron. Otherwise PVC is usually superior and way cheaper

Yeah, but the claim of lasting 50 years being twice as long as pvc pipes seems to be bogus. Even a quick google search shows a minimum of 50 years, closer to 100-150 for residential sewage systems, and 175 as a rough maximum.
Im just curious on how much that cost
@@CrosscroAt least they didn’t exaggerate it to make it seem like it lasts way longer than it actually could
@Nyctotope i think he means it the other way around. most normal pvc systems are expected to be like 100 years minimum, and this liner looks to only be 50 to 60. it does give you the benefit of just extending the life of pvc another 50 years but it does not last longer at all.

I won a contest when I was in high school for suggesting this process for a competition. I was inspired by how they manufacture fire hose because this is how they add the inner lining.

Put flyers on all the doors when they did this in my area.
while I would agree with this, if they don't have traps in their sewage system, they have larger issues to worry about.
why would anyone not have a trap? They like the smell of shite or something?
If they don't have traps, then they would be calling 24/7 because of the methane and shit smell constantly permeating every inch of their house

Resin ? Not sure if that's safer than plastic

The code says you can not restrict the flow of a drain line whether it be a quarter of an inch, a 16th of an inch. An eighth of an inch, a quarter of an inch. It is not code compliant, but it is. Outstanding
Codes like that probably exist just to prevent people from skirking and cutting corners, because if everyone uses a size smaller to save money, you end up with a pipe half the size. One decrease to preserve a pipe is an exception I'd make if I were a building officer.

As someone who lives in a home with old iron pipes, this makes me feel a lot better. I wonder if anyone near me does this! We had a leak years ago and my dad fixed it with JB Weld. It is miraculously still holding 😂😅
They don't really do it for small pipes.

@@dirkdiggler9379
PEX is supply. Not waste. Further, the video was about repairing old iron waste pipes. Not replacing them.
I'll fix it
@@dirkdiggler9379 It is when they're under a concrete slab.
I used to work call center for a plumbing company and I can tell you this technology saves people tens of thousands of dollars on the excavation thatd be required otherwise. its especially good in buildings created in the 40s and 50s because there was a steel shortage due to the war so they used ceramic which is now degrading
my cities been doing this. replacing where they can, doing this where it's not possible to completely dig-up the old pipes. pretty cool.
They just did this to our community's broken sewage pipe a few weeks ago.
What state?
How's it holding up so far?
No shit!
Do you know how it cost compared to just having the pipes replaced?
@@fatefingerit's cheaper, no need to dig out all the piping.
I wonder if there is a microplastic issue with these, or possibly if the epoxy resin leaches into the water. Probably better than PVC in that regard though
Was wondering the same
This is the sewer not the water main. Although I’ve seen this in person and our company was given a demonstration on it and they used a sample piece of pvc with a hole in it. Once it dried up I was able to flake some of it off by just rubbing my fingernail on it lol I don’t see it lasting longer than pvc and if anything could possibly caused a clog since it’s basically reducing the inside diameter of the pipe for the section that needs to be repaired. Which is not ideal in sewer or drain lines.
Toxic
So i regularly work with pvc, the issue is the fact that water is a universal solvent (dissolves everything) and plastic has a nasty habit or shooting off bits of itself into water
Cured epoxy has higher chemical resistance so it will degrade more slowly. Because the polymer is cured, it is generally considered inert and therefore less prone to leaching microplastics
But won't this also change the equation for the water pressure un the pipes considered that the area has been decreased and as a result also increases the velocity?
I would argue more pressure is a good thing, especially with sanitation.
PVC is good for over 100 years of in-service use. Clay sewer pipes life span is 50 to 60 years.

@@zhonguochayep, honestly should just live in the woods so you escape pipes. Shit in the bushes and do your cleaning by the river. Surely you do that right 🙂
@@zhonguochain this case, who cares. Human waste is the worst, im glad that we have all these pipes and machines to deal with it. Sure there's some alternatives now, like incinerating toilets, but think about what we did to use the bathroom before this?
Maybe someday we won't need these pipes as alternatives catch on, but right now they're crucial, and there is currently no better way to fix cracked sewer pipes.
Do you know what happens when a sewer pipe cracks and leaks? Would you want hundreds of pounds of ground up liquid shit seeping out of your grass and cracks in the sidewalk? Or even worse, backing up into your bathtubs, overflowing your toilets and oozing out of your sink drains?
What about your irrigation for your yards, parks etc?
Did you know that if sewage leaks, the gas from the sewer that comes through there is flammable, toxic and explosive? If your sewage pipes crack, and you have a gas stove there's a chance your house apartment whatever won't even exist the next day.
Did you know that human sewage is toxic to many animals, may actually die of disease, poisoning or from the noxious gas when it leaks?
Did you know that human waste is actually dirtier than handling dead things? Did you know that human waste in the sewer 100% contains diseases that you can and will be infected with upon exposure?
Be grateful.
I confirm this is a great video. I saw this at the field 10years ago. I was there for 1hour,.and couldn't see it from the beginning to the end. I didn't know how they prepared the lining pipe till I see it there.
Or a fleshlight
I asked my dad who is a civic engineer how they were able to afford new pipes 100 years ago but now they just line them with plastic, he said we just don't know
I’m a civil engineer, but should not need to be to tell you it’s because you have to dig the pipes up to replace them. That is obviously more time consuming, and more expensive.
This is so neat!!

@@avamasquerade yeah I’m sure AI is replacing all plumbers anyyyyy day now 😂😂😂
Draco Malfoy's mouth whenever he says "Potter."
I did this one time. It’s pretty cool. What not cool is when it doesn’t work and you have to dig out all the muddy water to replace it in 100 degree temperature.
Had to have this done when roots got into my home sewage line. It was 7k and took maybe 30 minutes. The only issue is that roots can penetrate this lining. We paid an 2k for a warranty, and that’s literally the only things the company said they don’t cover.
It’s completely unnecessary. This whole trench less thing companies are pushing for is bs and not at all worth it
Got ripped off. Better off just digging the line for that price
If they tapped you for 7K I wonder what replacement would cost.
Once the whole is pipe dug up and removed, I don’t get why not replace the pipe. It can’t be that much more of a cost 🤷🏻♂️
I was quoted $18k. Crazy.
Usually when it comes to plumbing, replacement is usually better than repair, but in some instances especially old sewer lines this is actually a less invasive solution
We have this in the uk, you can drag line it or invert the liner in forms of 100mm 4” or 150mm 6”. We also have 100mm and 150mm patch which are used to seal smaller issues in a drain line rather than multiple issues
Didn't expect to be thoroughly impressed by pipes today but here we are
This would take so long to cure!
1. it's a thin layer of resin.
2. It's outside, meaning it's probably not going to be warm outside.
This is pretty genius. It replaces the pipe and cleans whatever is in it damn impressive.
It doesn’t replace the pipe. It relines it. Making the internal diameter smaller

So I have seen many things lately, but this one is just mind-blowing genius. Big thanks to the one that came up with this.
According to the video, this lasts for 50 years, twice that of PVC pipes. But everywhere else I searched says PVC lasts around 100 years.
Application dependent maybe? Water vs sewage? I imagine the chemical conditions in a sewage pipe are a lot harsher.
PVC? Lasting 100 years? I wanna know who installs THOSE pipes 🤣🤣
It’s big PVC keeping us from knowing the truth about how little time they actually stay dependable for
If PVC pipes lasted 100 years, the average pipe wouldn’t have needed to be replaced since installation yet, which definitely isn’t the case.
it lasts twice as long as 50 year old pvc obviously
Dirty minds 💀💀
👇
For those of you wondering this is not work because they don’t shut off the water. If they were to shut off the water, bacteria would get into the pipes because they would lose water pressure and there wouldn’t be anything stopping bacteria to just crawl right in then everybody would lose water and they would have to pump it with chlorine for multiple weeks and people would have to get water from the city What they actually do is they just come up with a little circular piece of metal and it goes over the crack and Tighten and if there’s an actual break in the pipe, they just slide it over and tighten it
I've always wondered how this works. Thanks for the informative video!

this is great for cast iron pipes. but if you had piping like terracotta or orangeburg, the pipes still have to be replaced bc they get crushed in places instead of like the cast iron, rusting on the inside but the pipe is strong
Can you use lye with terracotta pipes?
@@cleanclean4031 honestly i wouldnt use lye as a drain cleaner for any pipes but it would probably damage terracotta the least. the drain cleaner is recommend is an acid based one at ace hardware. its not really a brand like draino but its what we always used when i was in plumbing
When it comes to clay and other baked pipes replacement is either by trench or the nifty pipe burst system. New piping is brought on site, and line is opened on both ends. A drag system is fixed to one end and pulls the replacement pipe through the old line. A breaker head in the front helps to crack and bust the old pipe while pushing it aside, and when the new pipe in fully in place, the breaker is removed and the pipe is trimmed for fittings.
we line paper and clay pipe all the time man.. you have no clue whta your talking about haha
@grim8012 who are you talking to? Me or the other guy? All three of us seem to be or have been in plumbing trades and many companies and states have different methods for how work is done. Can you describe your company's methods on this? I like hearing technical stuff like this
Lord help me, the internet has ruined me.
Ditto🤦🏿♂️. The internet destroys lives lol
You only need to see a prolapse once and this video becomes haunting
This is good theoretically, but can not be used on a large scale. A smaller diameter will actually increase water pressure, potentially to the point of a new water pump.
Thanks. I’ll try this on myself!
