Pipe Repair in Glendale, CA

Pipe Lining

Pipe lining is a trenchless method used to revamp existing pipes without excavation. We recommend pipe lining for minor projects to mitigate further deterioration or costly pipe repair in Glendale. We thoroughly inspect and clean the damaged pipe before inserting resin-saturated lining through access points or existing cleanouts.

Once the lining material is in place, we invert and press it against the interior walls of the old pipe. Our plumbers may use heat or ultraviolet light to cure the lining in place, forming a durable new inner pipe within the old one. This minimally invasive and faster method restores system function and efficiency. 

Slip Lining

Slip lining is a trenchless technique similar to pipe lining and rectifies minor defects or deterioration. The slip-lining process starts by creating access points at both ends of the damaged pipe. We insert a smaller-diameter pipe into the old pipe, usually made of materials like HDPE (high-density polyethylene).

The purpose of the new pipe is to reinforce the existing pipe and bridge gaps or defects. Slip lining is a straightforward pipe installation process with minimal disruption of your property. After a successful completion, the rehabilitated line provides improved functionality and structural integrity.

Directional Drilling

Directional drilling is a pipe installation technique preferred for challenging landscapes. The process involves creating a pilot borehole using a drilling rig at a specific depth and angle. Once we establish the pilot borehole, a drilling machine advances the new line along the desired path while removing debris.

Whether a minor leak or a complex burst plumbing pipe replacement in Glendale, we ensure minimal surface disruption, even though the excavation is underground. This makes directional drilling suitable for projects that require pipe installation or repair beneath obstacles, like roads, rivers, or buildings. 

As mentioned, understanding what to expect during a trenchless pipe repair in Glendale is vital for making informed decisions when dealing with plumbing issues.
