Cost per Foot

“How much per foot should I charge for a job? I have a restaurant that wants me to coat 20’ of pipe and then coat a grease trap. I’m just not sure what to add for the grease trap. Should I just add it to the footage price?” While we’ve used per foot pricing as […]

“How do I sell lining or coating? I’m having a heck of a time trying to get people to go to the next step after I’ve cleaned the pipe. Do you have any tips that I can use to help me sell them something I know they need but can’t seem to grasp?” Years ago, […]

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. This applies to Lateral Lining and Pipe coating jobs as well as life. For more information contact Pipe Lining Supply at +1-888-354-6464 or email us at info@pipeliningsupply.com.

Tip: Using a High-Speed Cable

Tip: When using a high-speed cable, cover any exposed metal cable with short sections of the sheathing. This will help prevent the cable from kinking when it gets locked up in a root. For more information contact Pipe Lining Supply at +1-888-354-6464 or email us at info@pipeliningsupply.com.

Tip: Cleaning
