Company Overview

The trenchless UV (Ultraviolet) method is an innovative solution for fixing underground pipes without the hassle of excavation.

During this method, a resin-saturated liner is placed inside the compromised sewer line through an existing access point, such as a cleanout. Once the liner is positioned, ultraviolet lamps are positioned throughout the entire liner. These UV lights emit powerful UV light that interacts with a unique catalyst in the resin.

When the UV lamps are turned on, the resin cures quickly within a short time, establishing a new lining inside the damaged pipe. The resin attaches firmly to the sides of the damaged pipe, resulting in a strong, continuous, and durable lining.

There are many benefits to UV curing for trenchless repairs:

1. Quick and efficient: The UV method is quick, taking only a short time, depending on the pipe's length and conditions. This allows for fast repairs and reduced interference to the area around the repair site.

2. Durable and long-lasting solution: The cured resin creates a robust lining that can increase the longevity of the pipe by decades. The lining is resistant to corrosion, cracks, root intrusions, and chemical deterioration.

3. Reduced excavation necessary: Because this method is trenchless, it requires little or no excavation, minimizing the disturbance from excavation.
