Pipe Relining: Water Line Repair Fort Wayne, IN
When it's time to perform your water line repair, Fort Wayne, IN plumbers use a method called pipe relining. This method involves feeding a flexible fiberglass or polyester tube coated in epoxy resin into the interior pipe. Once the tube is in place, the tube will be inflated until it is fitted snugly inside the pipe walls. Using UV light, temperature, steam or hot water, the resin is cured and hardened. And just like that, you have a brand-new pipe!
Pipe Bursting: Water Line Replacement Fort Wayne, IN
If your pipe is past the point of repair, we use a method called pipe bursting for water line replacement. Fort Wayne, IN plumbers will feed a bursting head into the heart of the old pipe. As this piece of hydraulic equipment is pulled through the old pipe, the old pipe will fragment. The bursting head is dragged through the entire length of the old pipe until it is completely replaced.
If the pipe has been significantly damaged due to collapse, for example, we will then employ a traditional excavation for water line replacement. Fort Wayne, IN certified plumbers, however, will ensure any disruptions to your yard and home are minimal.
