Repairing a Broken Sewer Line in Northern New Jersey
PLI installers are constantly innovating. Recently, Service Professionals, Inc. from Union, NJ used a variety of our products to quickly remedy a sewer line problem for one of their customers. Here’s what our contact had to say about the project:
Our pipe lining crew arrived in Teaneck, New Jersey to provide a permanent solution to a broken sewer line with our relining technology. The area of Teaneck is in the northern part of the state at a higher elevation, and the soil is very rocky.
The technicians — Rich Cooper, Bill Cobb and Thomas Irving — excavated the floor to expose the cast iron piping. They cut and removed a section of pipe to gain access to the line, which suffered from I&I (inflow and infiltration). The first step was water jetting to flush out the line and remove the large amount of debris and roots. A camera inspection was performed to ensure everything was ready for the installation of the liner. The technicians installed the new liner from the basement up to the main in the road.
After the liner was inserted, a two-part resin was mixed and pushed into the felt liner. The liner was cured with steam and hardened as it cooled. This process results in a liner that is even stronger than PVC. After it cured, the technicians ran another camera inspection of the new line to make sure it was perfect. They then connected the new line to the existing back section while making an underground connection to install the new cleanout.
All this work was completed in just 5 hours!
