What Is Sectional Point Repair?

Whether you own a residential or commercial property, at some point you will need to repair or replace your plumbing pipes. While most property owners often postpone repairs due to the lengthy excavation involved, if only a section of the pipe is bad, you no longer have to replace or reline the entire pipe thanks to sectional point repair, a form of trenchless sewer repair in Henrico, VA.

Sectional point repair involves relining only the bad section of the pipe. At USA Pipe Repair, we can repair your damaged pipes using the Perma-Liner Point Repair System. Let us answer your queries about this method of trenchless pipe repair:

How Do You Know if a Sectional Repair is an Option?

Our technicians will perform a detailed inspection to determine if your damaged pipe can be repaired using sectional trenchless pipe lining. This typically involves using a sewer video camera to inspect the area. Damage that is isolated to one section of the pipe can usually be repaired using this method.

If sectional repair is not applicable, however, we may recommend trenchless pipe replacement. Unlike traditional replacement, our minimally invasive approach does not require heavy machinery or a large crew. In fact, trenchless replacement can often be completed within the day, so you don’t have to worry about the disturbance to your property.

How Does it Work?

Sectional point repair comes in complete kits. Each kit is designed specifically for the pipe that will be repaired. The repair lining is placed over the damaged section in the pipe using specialized bladders. The inflated bladder holds the resin lining repair in place until it is cured.

Prior to starting the repair, our pipe lining company will thoroughly clean the pipe. This will ensure proper adhesion of the sectional repair. Access point manholes will have to be created upstream and downstream of the repair area.
