How Cast Iron Pipe Lining Works

If you live in an older home, chances are you’ve got cast iron pipes. Cast iron pipes were regarded as the gold standard for pipe systems due to their durability and efficiency. However, as with all other types of pipe materials, cast iron is susceptible to damage over time. The good news is that SD Lining Solutions specializes in trenchless pipe lining in Sioux City, IA.

Among these effective pipe restoration methods is cast iron pipe lining. If you’ve got cast iron pipes in need of rehabilitation, you might want to consider this particular pipe lining method.

Inspection and Measurement

The cast iron sewer pipe lining process begins with a thorough inspection of the pipe’s interior and general condition. This is done to identify the extent and location of the damage. Inspections are also done to measure the pipe so our technicians know how much liner and epoxy mixture to use.

Creating a Customized Pipe Lining

After getting the specifications, our CIPP pipe lining technicians make a felt liner and inflatable bladder, making sure that the tube is measured and cut to a length to match the pipe’s measurements. This also includes any bends on the pipes. The tubes have a water-tight membrane to ensure no water gets in between the drain and the liner.

Installation

The felt liner is then soaked in resin, and the bladder is put into the pipe. Technicians then attach ropes on the liner and pull it into place. Air pressure is used to make sure the liner adheres to the interior of the pipe.

Checking and Testing the Lined Part

Once the lining is properly installed, our crew will test it to ensure it’s working properly. They can use a camera to see if it’s sealed correctly and make any corrections if necessary.
