Pipe Lining & Coating

Find information on pipe lining and coating under this Yellow Pages® heading. Pipe lining and coating are done by contractors and pipe line repairmen in order to preserve existing pipes. Instead of digging the pipes up and replacing them with new ones, disrupting the area where they are, pipe lining and coating can solve the problem with minimal work and minimal inconvenience to people living or staying in the area. Pipe line manufacturers now have insulators and relining systems to do this.

Pipes deteriorate when they are exposed to harsh elements and chemicals. If they receive impact from ground movement and nearby trees, these may also affect their durability. Now, owners may choose to have their pipe line and drainage systems linedand coated instead of having their pipes and drains replaced, causing a lot of disruption to their routine or business. This is especially true if the drain is under areas that are much needed in every day routines such as bathrooms, driveways, and landscaped areas.

Pipe lining and coating are done by using an epoxy resin pipe and placing it inside the affected drain. This resin pipe conforms to the size and path of the drain that needs to be rehabilitated. When it has hardened, it becomes a new pipe inside the old one. These types of coatings can line several bends with one liner and can coat pipes of different diameters. Pipe liners are resistant to chemicals. They are made of strong material that they can hold up even if the pipe has missing sections. Other types of coatings are those with foam fill, hard coating, waterproof coating, and insulated material.
