When you're having major issues with your sewer lines (perhaps not even for the first time), there's always that little urge at the back of your head to replace the pipes. They've given you enough issues and pains, and they're not worth fixing anymore, right?

Sewer pipe lining is a really nifty thing. At least, we think so—we like it enough to do it. It’s one of the most amazing things to ever happen to our field. Instead of performing a vast amount of work for what should have always been a simple procedure, now we can, in fact, use a simple procedure to repair what used to take days—sometimes even weeks!

No one likes costly repairs, but sometimes they are necessary—especially when it comes to your sewer lines. It’s terrible, it’s smelly, and worst of all, it usually requires digging. It’s even worse when it happens to the public sewer lines. Imagine a burst at the busiest intersection in town—talk about a rush hour that stinks! Luckily, with manhole-to-manhole trenchless sewer repair there’s no longer a need to dig or to reroute traffic. You can get that rush hour back to smelling like roses (or at least as close to roses as a roadway’s going to get) by lining your pipes using our techniques. How Manhole-to-Manhole Lining Works? To line a sewer using our trenchless technology, it’s pretty simple. Instead of digging in and replacing the entire section of sewer system, we close off the section of sewer that we’re repairing, bypass the sewage back into the sewer at a point further down (which makes sure the service is uninterrupted), and get to work. We go into the sewer, after it's empty, and invert a liner filled with resin into the drain from one end to the other. After that, we circulate hot water or steam into this resin which, after reaching a certain temperature, begins the curing process. It will set into place relatively quickly (around 2 to 4 hours), after which we would then finish the process and open the sewer back up. The liner is rated for 50 years, which is a long interval considering that none of the pipe is replaced.

It all started in 1971 in London, England when a man named Eric Wood had a leaky pipe under his garage. To eliminate the need to dig up his entire garage floor to repair the pipe, Wood invented a cured-in-place pipe lining (CIPP) renovation method. He named the process insit u form, which derives from the Latin meaning “form in place.” On January 29, 1975, Wood applied for patent number 4009063, with the patent for cured-in-place pipe lining granted on February 22, 1977. Insituform Technologies commercialized the patent, and brought the technology to the United States shortly thereafter. Since it’s inception in 1971, it is estimated that 50,000 km of cured-in-place pipe lining has been installed worldwide!
