How Pipes Are Professionally Cleaned and Relined | Art Insider 
Хобби
It never fails to amaze me how creative people can be to make old things new. In an age where everything is disposable its really cool to see things like this.
this feels more expensive and laborious than replacing the pipe simply and would argue using one time stuff more (not sure). I am guessint this comes into play for sewage pipe which are underground, so replacing would mean, destroying concrete, flooring etc and replacing then the costs would be very high.
@@rahulraviprasad well yeah this was just a demonstration. Obviously it would be much easier and likely cheaper to just replace exposed pipe. This was developed to avoid the need to dig up old pipe.
I'm not entirely sure how you think shoving a long sock into existing pipes is creative or how it's making "old things new". These kinds of procedures are extremely risky and plagued with problems as epoxy can't handle heat, often worsen the existing damage (due to the "chain cleaning" needed + the air pressure + heat curing treatment) and they cannot do anything to aid areas most affected by problems, such as junctions, joints or seals.
Epoxy can also be extremely devastating to marine life and if it doesn't adhere to the pipe for whatever reason or falls off after X amount of time, it can cause region-wide damage and clogging.
No man this shit does roots do get in ..
This is really required/interesting in any Plant of any industry where you you don't have the leisure of just "replace the line" and commission it out for a long period of time. Also this is more cheaper for places where you can't just excavate under building/places.
Big up to the guy who invented this. We used this method in our house last year and price was 1/7 of changing the pipes.
They did something similar to solve to pin hole leaks in my condo building. 5 years later the epoxy got loose and started clogging hot water to many units. Practically the entire buildings hot water pipes had to be replaced. The company that gave a 25 year warranty went bankrupt.
@@MahirHB1 I'm not in the business, but sounds like the epoxy was not adhered properly to the old inner pip surface.
Just buy new one . Don't be cheap .

This is genius, I’m a plumber and I can think of so many ground works and buildings I’ve done where this lining can save time instead of chipping concrete and dirt
now you can save your time and energy
Work smart, not hard.
This video didn't demonstrate well enough how it can fill both the horizontal pipe and the vertical clean out pipe. What if you have an apartment, for the entire building's drainage pipe, I can't see how this wouldn't block everyone's drains
@@Trump_Hair_Monster and money
@@korzym They do it sections. First the main line. After that they drill open any intersections and do the appartment lines.
I work with epoxy everyday and can say that's what we use as a lining on all of our wastewater jobs. Great product, very different than ordinary water-based latex.
i work as a chemist and developer specializing in resins for basf and i can only say that epoxy can do a lot.

@@noviceartisan that’s gallons and gallons of nail polish remover 😂
What about the added weight to the pipes? It also narrows the pipe inner diameter. Nothing to ddbe worried about?
@Josue Gonzalez what's that in mm Josue.?
The guy who invented this needs a Nobel Prize.
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.
Never thought a pipe cleaning and restoration video would be so interesting. Good job
I definitely wouldn't suggest anyone ever do this, though. There's usually a very good reason for an intruded line. Doing this tactic minimizes flow and is never going to be as good as a line replacement.
@@oldandy1645 correct... this process is like putting a band aid on a bullet wound and its very expensive. For the same amount of money if not cheaper you can just get the pipe replaced and it will last longer than this.
@@The_yeffy1 I don’t know about any of this stuff, but didn’t they say it lasts twice as long?
@@thursdaytractiontuesdaytit1325 it’s a sales pitch so they will say anything as long as they don’t put a guarantee on it. A new pipe will last longer and has more structural integrity. This process keeps these guys in business because they will have to keep coming back to fix it. A brand new pipe will keep them out for 30+ years.
@@The_yeffy1 Oh I see, thanks for explaining!
as a chemist and developer specializing in resins for basf, it's nice to see that epoxy became more popular over the last 10 years.
I'd love to work with the stuff more if it wasn't so god awful expensive

@@michaelmadrid21 I concur

@@ghost2coast296 Is it tho? I don't think it's expensive.
I used to work for Insituform and we did CIPP all over the east coast of the US but the ones we did were already impregnated with resin when they arrived on a refrigerated truck. Biggest one I ever worked on was an OTHWO that was 48 inches in diameter and was 1700 feet long. Amazing technology.
That is just freaking amazing! Well done Kenneth Kaas! Your a genius!
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 📹 👍 👏
Cathodic protection, is that like zinc like they use on boats?
I like how pornstars clean pipes
How did you get into doing that? Through mechanical engineering I’m guessing?
Won't the pipe diameter keep going smaller and smaller?

Ah, yes... the magnificence of capitalism and free markets.
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 love how you love that
@@Scorpey Well aren't we both just lovely like that 😏
sewer and wastewater pipes are usually standard diameter by building codes right?

0:06 This gets me memories
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.

This was a sight to behold. Amazing.
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.
Trust me it's not accidental
Any updates on your plumbing situation?
@@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

I just watched my hubby doing this but on a smaller pipe. He said he was putting pipe plugs in and sent me a video. I got to see what he was doing at work today. Well,I watched your video so I can act like I know what it's about.😅 Thanks for giving this wife some knowledge so we can have a good conversation tonight.
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 🥷🏿

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
Pure genius whoever invented this.
very interesting and useful. thumbs up for the inventor of this method. i never forget one year in winter we had to change a pipe and how difficult it was.
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 like how I watched these tubes being developed... And now they are everywhere
We had this done! It’s amazing!
"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!
0:06 - Looks like a Rose bud, if you know what I mean.
Man of culture, I see...

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.
Not only it works it’s also extremely satisfying to watch
Hope so, implementing this at works soon.

THANKS AGAIN...😀
That was super satisfying to watch.
A prime example of mankind's ingenuity, instead of using it for badness, we can use it for so much good, like this!
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
The warranty on a CIPP (cured-in-place-piping) job like this is 50 years.
@@poppinthatcootchie6796 There are several variations of this process in use today. It's not theoretical.
@@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.
@@thorr18BEM Its more flexible than PVC and has no joints to break or move causing offsets with.
This short video might be the only one I’ve ever finished watching. Well done, interesting
Very satisfying process ❤
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.

wow.. thats brilliant
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..
like a surgeon
Imagining the amount of camera cleaning needing done with each shot of the internals of the pipes. Amazing stuff, none the less.

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.

As a proffessional in cleaning out pipes i must say this looks sick
Awesome way of dealing with leaky pipes 🔥🔥🔥🙏🙏🙏
I had this done here on Long Island about ten years ago.
If the pipe isn't collapsed it can be done.
It honestly saved me approx 7k.
You lie.
This honestly looks like a fun job to do imo. Wish this was in the US. Looking for jobs atm and was a past custodian. So i think i would be a perfect fit and plus, in a way, this is artsy and I love art.
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.
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.
2:01 man that’s a nice blue
At first I thought they used the felt tube to line the inside like a paint roller but this makes all the more sense now 😂
Large versions of this have been used in main sewers for years. The 'sock' is delivered in a refrigerated truck and once inserted it is heated up with hot water in the inner liner to cure it.
Don’t know how I got to this channel but I’m not mad at it 😂. Cool video
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 🤷
Way better than digging up your basement floor! This will save people thousands!

We had an issue where the master line needed to be replaced. My brother clogged an already damaged line. Cost $10k. . But they utilized this technique. Pretty cool.
This is fascinating!
This reminds me, I need to get my prolapse sorted
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.
I did this many years ago. We never did it on the homeowner side just the main lines where you would have to dig up an entire street to replace.
I dont know why i rewatch this every time its recommended to me
the way he thought ❤️
"They mix the resin by hand" *immediately shows mixer drill attachment*
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

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
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.
Part of my job is to do this on a way larger scale.
Our "liner" comes in all one gigantic narrow package. It's very heavy. We the connect packers on each end of the pipe blowing lots of air into it. With a uv lights on wheels inside of all that and heat the liner while the Packers are keeping the liner blown up.
Give this guy a Nobel Prize!
