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 […]
Confused Between Lining & Coating?
“We lined several vent stacks and have had a few of them leak. We used the CIPP method sold to us using a “gapping method” that they told me would work well for fixing in plumbing stacks. We thought that the lining process would seal the old pipe and prevent leaking. Now I read that […]
Digging Up Or Tearing Out Old Pipe And Replacing It With New Is The Only Answer For Sewer Lines

Warranty Of 100 Years!
“My supplier gives me a 100-year warranty for the lining process we sell. I work inside buildings lining plumbing stacks and your representative is telling me your company doesn’t offer a 100-year warranty.
