The Future of Efficient Pipe Rehabilitation!

Spray-In-Place Pipe Restoration

Pipe on Concrete Wall

At Top Notch Sewer, we are excited to offer Spray-In-Place Pipe Technology, an advanced solution for pipe repairs that eliminates the need for extensive excavation. This state-of-the-art method involves applying a robust epoxy coating inside the existing pipe, forming a new, seamless liner within the old pipe.

  • Minimally invasive: No need for large-scale digging.
  • Cost-effective: Saves money on labor and restoration.
  • Long-lasting: Provides a durable solution that extends the life of your pipes.

This technique is ideal for residential and commercial properties in Westchester, ensuring your sewer systems operate efficiently with minimal disruption.

Common Questions About Spray-in-Place Pipe Restoration

SIPP is ideal when you want to avoid extensive excavation. It’s perfect for properties where minimizing disruption to landscaping, flooring, or existing structures is a priority. Choosing SIPP can offer you a modern, efficient, and less disruptive approach to pipe restoration, especially when dealing with complex or hard-to-reach pipe systems.

Pipes restored using Spray-In-Place Pipe (SIPP) technology can generally last between 30 to 50 years. SIPP technology provides a durable, seamless liner that strengthens and protects the existing pipes, extending their lifespan significantly compared to traditional repair methods. Regular maintenance and inspections can help ensure the longevity and performance of your restored pipes.

The typical time required for Spray-In-Place Pipe (SIPP) technology can vary depending on the complexity and size of the project. Generally, the application process takes between 1 to 3 hours per section of pipe. This includes the preparation, spraying of the epoxy, and curing time. For most residential and commercial projects, the entire process, from start to finish, usually ranges from a single day to a few days. SIPP technology is known for its efficiency, minimizing downtime and disruption while providing a quick, durable solution for pipe restoration.

  • Flow Rate: The speed at which fluids can pass through the newly lined pipes.

G

  • Grouting: The process of injecting a material to fill gaps and stabilize the pipe structure.

H

  • Hydraulic Pressure: The pressure used during the curing process to ensure proper adhesion of the liner.

I

  • Inversion: The method of turning the liner inside out to install it in the host pipe.

J

  • Junction: The connection point between two pipes, which may require special attention during relining.

K

  • Kinetic Energy: The energy used in the relining process, especially during the application of the resin.

L

  • Liner: The material used to coat the interior of the pipe, typically made from fiberglass or other composite materials.

M

  • Moisture Content: The level of moisture in the existing pipe that can affect the curing process.

N

  • No-Dig Technology: A trenchless method that minimizes excavation, reducing surface disruption.

O

  • Oxygen Inhibitor: A substance used to enhance the curing process by limiting oxygen exposure.

P

  • Polyester Resin: Another type of resin used in relining, known for its versatility and strength.

Q

  • Quality Assurance: The processes in place to ensure the relining meets industry standards.

R

  • Repair Ratio: The measure of the effectiveness of the relining process compared to other methods.

S

  • Spray Application: The method of applying the lining material through spraying for uniform coverage.

T

  • Thermal Curing: The use of heat to accelerate the curing process of the lining material.

U

  • UV-Cured Lining: A method that uses ultraviolet light to cure the resin quickly.

V

  • Void Filling: The process of filling gaps between the existing pipe and the new lining.

W

  • Workability: The ease with which the material can be applied and manipulated during the relining process.

X

  • X-ray Inspection: A non-destructive testing method used to assess the integrity of the relined pipe.

Y

  • Yield Strength: The stress at which the lining material begins to deform permanently.

Z

  • Zonal Isolation: A technique used to isolate specific sections of a pipeline for targeted repairs.

How spray-in-place pipe restoration works:

The two elements of this clever system, consisting of ElastoTec machine technology and the 2-component reaction plastic ElastoFlake made from PU, are perfectly coordinated. 

This reliable and cost-effective pipe restoration system is especially useful for in-house applications, which often involve tight conditions with small and hard-to-reach smaller pipe widths. 

All work, including first cleaning the pipes and drying them afterward, is performed with no damage to the building structure (flooring/walls) and without any contamination from the renovation work.

This CE-certified system is suitable for almost every common pipe substance, for instance the standard plastics used in sanitary facilities (PVC, PE, PP, GRP), as well as concrete, fiber cement, stoneware, and metals like copper, stainless steel and/or cast iron. 

Damaged pipes are sealed and coated using ElastoFlake, a special solvent-free two-component PU material formulated especially for these requirements, with a very fast reaction time – it cures so quickly that it cannot run off during the introduction process and creates a final, even material thickness of ≥ 3 mm. It is applied in multiple layers / work steps.

Because of the flexibility of the PU material, it can also be used at higher temperatures and with temperature fluctuations. In addition, it protects the coated pipes from mechanical wear thanks to its very smooth surface, ensures very low adhesions / deposits, and improves the flow performance.
