Apples to Apples

“I am interested in a coating machine and am interested in both your unit and a competitor who uses epoxy instead of the resin you use. Can you give me an apple to apple quote for your system so I can choose which one to get? I will be buying a unit based on cost […]

Harassment From Competitors and Customers To Feel Slighted

“I have grown a decent drain cleaning business over the years. We aren’t the biggest by any means but not the smallest either. When we started, Yellow Pages was our main source of advertising and everything went along fine until social media emerged. We decided to keep up with technology and moved our advertising efforts […]

Restoration Options

“It’s a small detail, but I get more callbacks from the pits I dig outside the home that sinks over the course of the next year after I lined the sewer lateral. It doesn’t take much to throw a little dirt and grass seed or whatever is needed to bring the soil back up to […]

Standards & Qualifying For Them

“I love your coating machine for rehabilitating drain, waste and vent piping and usually apply it as a repair. I have never pulled permits or requested an inspection from the local sewer agency, but I was working on a condo unit when an inspector showed up and asked what I was doing. After I explained […]

Video Glasses for More Than Coating

“I wanted to pass on using the video glasses you sell with your coating machine for other applications. I took the glasses and plugged them into my camera, then attached my camera head to the Renssi high-speed cable machine I got from you and used it to clean pipe. It really worked well. I now […]

“I’ve followed some of your blogs and I just can’t see all this rehab of an old pipe when I can replace it. I’ve got a seasoned crew and don’t see how rehabilitation methods are going to last very long. Convince me I’m wrong!” First, let’s start out with your first statement that you’ve read […]

Here’s Your Sign

An RV blogger and author friend, Nick Russell, writes a blog on RV’ing and this past week pointed out questions from blog readers who ask some pretty challenging questions. One guy lost his pins locking his tow vehicle to his motorhome and wrote to ask if using heavy-duty zip ties would work until he found […]

Lining In The Winter Cold

“I’ve held up my lining jobs until warmer weather but I am getting too many jobs to get them all done in the spring. What’s the rule on winter lining? Can I do it?” I understand why you are trying to put off till spring any lining jobs, but the reasons revolve around your comfort […]

Ripping Out A CIPP Liner

“I installed a CIPP liner and followed the ASTM’s I read about in your earlier blogs. I used your resin but a sales guy sold me some liner he sold was as good as yours but cheaper. After completing the job the inspector asked me for my documentation and I showed him the resin buckets […]
