Trenchless Sewer Pipe Restoration
|
“The intrusion of roots into sewers is probably the
most destructive single element that faces those
maintaining a wastewater collection system.”
- Environmental Protection Technology Series
|
|
Nu Flow Technologies™
Nu Flow Technology stops leaks,
increases flow, and renews original pipe
without expensive digging or disruption. |
|
There are almost 3 billion
feet of sewer pipe in the
United States and 60% of
all collection systems are
made up of pipe with a
diameter of 8” or smaller.
|
The potential for root intrusion to product
stoppages and to damage valuable pipe
is enormous. Roots normally do not grow
underwater and seldom cause problems where
ground water covers the pipe. But in most areas,
this is not the case.
One Cell at a Time
When a seed germinates, it adds one cell at a
time toward the best environment from which
it might extract nutrients and moisture. The
growing point of the root moves best through
loosely cultivated soil.
The most common practice to lay sewer pipe is
by open trench. The back-filled soil offers a good
growing medium for roots.
Because the flow in sanitary lines is at a
higher temperature than the soil, this causes
condensation to appear on the crown of the pipe.
As the warm moisture from the sewer pipe
evaporates up through the soil, the vapors offer
an excellent trail for the root to follow. If even
a tiny vapor leak exists in the pipe, the root
concentrates its efforts at that point. Since some
pipe joint compounds are of nutrient materials
themselves, the root may entirely girdle the joint
before entering the pipe.
|
Accumulating Debris
Once inside the sewer pipe, the root takes on the appearance of either a “veil” or a “tail”
type structure. If flows in the pipe are fairly constant, the root mass hangs down like a veil
to the normal flow level where they accumulate deposits of grease, slime and other debris.
Conventional methods of removing roots by cutting or tearing tend to INCREASE
REGROWTH similar to pruning a hedge. Removing roots inside the pipe solves the
immediate problem of stoppages, but does nothing to retard the growth or kill the root
outside the pipe where the more serious and costly structural damage may take place.
Proven Method To Eliminate Root Problems E.L.Smith has developed a program that will eliminate the need for constant sewer
rooter service. Our root destroyer program will give you peace of mind and protect your
sewer piping structure from damage and possible collapse, commonly associated with
continuous root problems.
How We Do It!
After clearing your sewer line with our root cutting
equipment (or before your sewer becomes stopped
up) our certified technician will install a full length
sectional liner or spot repair to repair your sewer line.
Our lateral lining products allow your technicians to
remotely fix damaged pipe anywhere in the line. Our
products are user friendly and easy to install. All of
our products can be installed via the clean out. These
products can save you time and money as well as
increase your client database.
This drain lining system gives the home owner a cost
effective alternative to traditional dig methods of pipe
replacement. But still offer the structural strength of
new pipe.
Our patented system allows our technicians to replace
underground pipe without disturbing any surface
materials such as driveways, landscaping, porches,
sidewalks, floors, electrical & gas lines, water, lines
(no locates), roadways and parking lots.
Save Money and Stress!
Eliminate the need for constant rooter service.
Protect your piping system from collapsing, which can
lead to costly repairs and entire replacement of your
sewer piping system. |
