Most residential and commercial property owners go about their business without ever knowing the condition of their underground pipes. The only time they take notice is when sewer problems such as backups, contaminated water, a high water bill, and raw sewage smell occur, disrupting day to day tasks. At Apollo Plumbing, Heating and Air Conditioning, we offer comprehensive pipe analysis and detailed checks using the latest inspection equipment. An HD CCTV camera is inserted into any drain pipe opening in order to see the root of the problem and its extent. Thanks to real-time images sent to a compatible monitor screen, we are able to recommend the best solution for our Vancouver and Portland customers.
Our capable technicians will always recommend the best and the most effective solutions that save our customers time and money. CIPP, or cured in place pipe lining is a trenchless technology that fixes all broken, cracked and damaged pipes in one go. We insert a tube that’s coated with a special epoxy resin to the damaged spot via air pressure or a winch, then an inflatable device makes the tube expand to fit the insides of the old pipe. The epoxy resin is activated using UV or water; in just a few hours, a new pipe is formed inside the ailing line.
The typical lifespan of a sewer pipe is somewhere between 40 to 60 years. Older pipes that have more vulnerable materials are prone to cracking, developing leaks and holes or being invaded by nearby tree roots. Calcified matter and deposits can make the diameter narrow and the pipe starts forming clogs. Our lining procedure creates a stronger, more durable pipe in place, which is expected to last for 50 years or more.
