The most efficient and reliable of these lining solutions are created by Interfit USA, the nationally recognized pros on all matters liquid lining.

At Express Sewer & Drain, we work with Interfit liners every day, in the repair and restoration of severely damaged pipe lines.

For home and property owners dealing with failing, aged pipe systems, this means fast application and the significant savings that come with it.

How Interfit Liners Repair Pipes in Record Time

Trenchless, liquid-resin liners are applied to damaged pipes internally, typically through existing entry points such as manholes and pipe drains. Once entry points to damaged pipes systems, lines or joints have been established, trenchless repair technicians will coat epoxy-resin liner directly to affected pipe walls, and cure the liner in-place using inflatable air bladders. This pressurization forms a tight, smooth epoxy seal over damaged pipe areas, and results in sturdy replacement pipe sections that are guaranteed to last over 50 years.

The greatest benefit of liquid Interfit liners is their compatibility with a broad variety of pipe types, and ability to renovate virtually any kind of pipe damage. This includes:

• Efficient repairs for clay, iron, cement, copper, PVC, Orangeburg or steel pipes

• Corrosion and aging
• Cracking due to environmental changes

In the past, you would have had to manually excavate damaged or deteriorated pipe segments, and physically replace them with expensive new pipe segments. This outdated process took days, if not longer, to complete, and often resulted in compounded landscaping costs.
