There are several tools that are commonly used to reline a sewer line.
Before relining the sewer line, a CCTV inspection camera is used to assess the condition of the pipe and determine the extent of any damage or blockages.
A CCTV inspection camera is introduced into the sewer pipe via an entry point like a manhole.
The camera is either mounted on a self-propelled, remote-controlled crawler or affixed to a flexible pushrod, enabling seamless navigation throughout the pipe system.
Then it gives a clear picture of the inside of the sewer line.
Hydro jetting equipment is used to clean the sewer line before relining it.
Utilizing high-pressure water jets, hydro jetting equipment effectively removes debris, built-up waste, and other blockages from within the pipe.
This efficient cleaning technique guarantees a pipe free from materials that could hinder the proper bonding and performance of the new liner, resulting in an even surface for the relining process.
The liner material itself is a essential tool in the relining process.
The choice of liner material will depend on your specific needs and budget.
There are several types of liner materials available, including Cured-in-Place, PVC, Polyester, and Epoxy.
Which can be customized to fit the specific needs of the project.
The inversion drum is used to insert the liner material into the sewer line.
It is typically a large, wheeled device that feeds the liner material into the pipe and compresses it against the pipe wall.
The inversion drum method is preferred for sewer relining because it is faster, cleaner, and more cost-effective than traditional excavation methods.
Once the liner material is in place, curing equipment is used to harden it and create a new, seamless pipe within the existing one.
There are several types of curing equipment available:
The curing equipment chosen for sewer relining can be influenced by several factors, including the liner material, pipe length and diameter, and environmental conditions.
Finally, cutting equipment is used to remove any excess material from the relined pipe.
This may include cutting away any protrusions or trimming the ends of the liner material to fit the pipe precisely.
It's important to note that the specific tools used to reline a sewer line can vary depending on the type of liner material used and the specific needs of the project.
A qualified plumbing professional will be able to recommend the best tools and techniques for your specific situation.
