Tip: Explaining to Customers

Explaining sewer and DWV problems to your customer will gain you more work than any other advertising of lining or coating capabilities will do.

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.

Tip: Expense and Revenue

Tip: Pipe Diameter

Pipe diameters on laterals usually make a transition in sizes somewhere between the building and the sewer main. For CIPP projects, you can select one of two methods from a variety of liners.
