Problems That CIPP Lining Can’t Fix

While Cured-In-Place Pipe lining is a highly effective and widely used method for rehabilitating damaged pipelines, there are certain situations and problems that this method cannot fully address. At USA Pipe Repair, we specialize in providing quality trenchless pipe lining in Chesterfield, VA. Below are some of the problems this repair method can’t fix:

Collapsed Pipes

Trenchless methods like CIPP and sewer pipe lining will only work if the damaged pipe is still stable. This is because the process involves inserting a resin-filled liner into the existing pipe to repair it. If the pipe has already collapsed, a full replacement may be the better solution.

Extensive Pipe Misalignment

If the pipeline has significant misalignment issues, CIPP pipe lining may be unable to correct them. Misaligned pipes can cause flow restrictions and inefficiencies, leading to ongoing problems even after installing the lining.

Rusty or Corroded Pipes

CIPP lining can be used to repair cracked and leaking pipes, but if the problem is due to excessive corrosion, it will not be as effective. Corrosion can cause the pipes to become fragile, which can lead to breakage over time. For extensive corrosion, we would recommend a pipe replacement instead.
