Tip: Eliminating Ridges

New appliers of AIPPR (Applied In Place Pipe Repair) of DWV (Drain, Waste and Vent) pipe coating often see ridges left in the finished coating jobs. These are caused by small starts and stops of the brush train during application. As applicators gain experience these are drastically reduced or disappear. If you haven’t mastered the […]

Tip: Planning

90% of a job’s success is in the planning, and 10% is in the execution. If you fail to plan out your job, you are planning to fail.

Tip: Warranties

Warranties are usually only as good as the paper they are written on. The only enforceable warranties are those that are backed by a surety bond. They are issued by an independent bonding company who will pay for losses repaired by anyone after they, not the original vendor, approve the repair. If you receive a […]

Tip: Weighing Cubetainers

When applying a coating to DWV pipe, weigh the Cubetainers before applying the polyurea resin. Record the amount you calculated for that segment of pipe and record the beginning weight of the Cubetainers together. Apply as many coats as you think you need, then weight the Cubetainers after. If you meet or exceed the amount […]

Tip: Using a High-Speed Cable

Tip: Curing CIPP

How you accelerate the curing of CIPP lateral liners varies. Whether it’s hot water, steam, UV, or some other method – there are other considerations than time.

Tip: Explaining to Customers

Tip: Vacuuming Out Air Pockets When Wetting Out

Vacuuming a CIPP lateral liner eliminates entrained air from a liner tube. Lack of vacuum impregnation will leave dry spots that allow roots to penetrate over time where no resin is present. It also meets the ASTM standards for CIPP lining. For more information contact Pipe Lining Supply at +1-888-354-6464 or email us at info@pipeliningsupply.com.
