Pipe Lining

Pipe Lining is the Future of Pipe Maintenance

Restore aging pipe without knocking down fences or tearing up landscaping and parking lots. Thuro Inc. pipe lining is a full repair of underground sanitary and storm pipe without excavation. For residential pipes, liners are often installed directly from the main clean-out access in your basement as a result no excavation is needed. Main liners are installed from manhole to manhole (or other access point).

How does lining work?

The existing sewer pipe is cleaned to remove roots and debris from the line. This is all the prep work needed. Once clean, Thuro installs the liner. The lining material is a custom length felt tube with a plastic coating on one side. The felt side of the liner is saturated with an epoxy resin. The liner is then inverted into the existing pipe using high pressured air (picture unrolling a pair of socks). Once inverted the plastic coating will be on the inside of the pipe and the resin is against the pipe wall. Then, a calibration tube like a long balloon, is blown inside the liner and inflated to hold the liner open against the pipe. Pressurized steam is used to cure the resin and hold everything in place. The end product is a hardened pipe molded to the inside of the old pipe.

Pipe Lining permanently repairs a variety of problems such as roots and cracks without expensive excavation. Pipe lining can be completed on both residential service lines and sewer and storm mains.

• fix root intrusions
• extend the life of the existing pipe
• span missing sections of pipe
• reinforce broken areas
• seal pipe joints and as a result, increase flow
