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

Had this done to my house after the main line in our front yard got bent downwards slightly. Crazy how solid this stuff is.

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.
FINALLY someone explained these damn pipe videos
Right! I see these all the time and I was totally wrong about what was happening. Gotta love social media educating

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.

Resin ? Not sure if that's safer than plastic
@machintrucGaming according to google
"This is one of the cheapest, most common pipe repair methods, but it comes with a serious risk: Heating the resin generates harmful fumes that can travel through the sewer lines and into surrounding buildings, sometimes several blocks away."
@@machintrucGamingit IS plastic. and it can leak into the water too, especially if the water is warm.

I too, enjoy partaking in my micro plastics
This is how the government makes sure you drinking your daily dose of microplastics
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
Fun fact: these inflating tubes meet the technical definition of what defines a “robot”.
They even have a robot that is exactly an inflatable tube that snakes around pipes and hard to reach areas.
How do? Please cite your source. I’m very skeptical
@@MGZWarrior RUclips keeps deleting my replies. Literally just google “soft inflatable robot”
Soft robotics is a fascinating field!
@@MGZWarriorVeritasium made a video about that

Nice to see actual useful technology for a change.
Thank you! I've seen so many of these tubey pipe videos and never really understood what was happening!
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
Morty: i-ima need that
Rick: why?
Morty: r-research...
I was with a company that did renovation work for low income multi-family housing and we utilized this technology. It’s amazing seeing it applied in person.
Your friends at the sleepover:
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

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.
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 was almost the topic of my group's thesis, but due to technological and financial constraints, we decided to choose another topic
Glad to see that this tech has been developed to this extent already
This was super interesting.
Whoever came up with this needs an award.
Ya, an award for his contribution to microplastic contamination.
@@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
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.
Pretty cool! I wonder if it leaks anything into the water though
Had this done to my colon. Never worked better! 👍🏻
PVC pipes is going to last 50 years as long as it was installed correctly

@@TimeSurfer206 sure have....and freezes that snap cast iron like glass. Steel isn't immune.
@@aw8388 Neither is cold PVC.
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
