Branch Line Tie-Ins Cause Problems

Standards & Qualifying For Them

“I had a supplier tell me that he was getting a “stronger” resin that the regular epoxy resin for lining you sell and that it would be a better choice as it’s stronger. Is that true or is this just a sales ploy to get me to buy their stuff?” Let’s review the standards for […]
Transient Loads – What You Need To Know
We’ve discussed the reason our lateral lining system is suitable for gravity sewer lines and not meant for pressure pipe nor potable water lines.
