Underground pipes and sewer lines are ageing, they deteriorate over time. While there are several replacement and repair methods on the market right now, the leading option is CIPP (Cured in cured-in-place pipe) repair, which is preferred by homeowners and business owners, along with municipalities. This repair method rehabilitates old, cracked and leaking pipes without digging trenches.

This repair method involves a liner being inserted into the existing pipe, creating a “pipe within a pipe.” It is fast, cost-effective and highly effective without the mess or disruption associated with pipe repair. The UV pipe lining method was first introduced in 2006 and is an advanced method of CIPP using UV light to cure the resin of the liner in a shorter period.

UV pipe lining reduces the risks and costs, saving time and resources. It produces faster results when compared to the thermal heat curing process. It's no surprise the demand for this pipe rehabilitation method is taking the world by storm. Two entry points are created at either end of the pipe to gain access. UV resin is placed into the line, after which the bladder is inflated with air, pushing the resin against the inside wall of the existing pipe. UV lights are used to cure the resin, providing a new pipe that is strong and durable.

UV pipe lining has become the preferred repair method for many engineers and contractors. It reduces the risk of unearthing beautiful landscaping and causing damage to paving and driveways. It causes minimal ground disturbances when compared to traditional methods.

Tom Bowman, the President at NuFlow, a leading UV pipe lining specialist in the United States, said “The equipment we use for this repair is lightweight and portable, there is no need for heavy digging equipment and machinery. The lining can be cured within minutes, causing minimal disruption to residents or employees. At the same time, our team's safety is improved, reducing the risk of accidents during the pipe repair process.”

NuFlow has experienced a rise in demand for UV pipe lining nationwide in 2023 as property owners look for safe, effective and affordable pipe rehabilitation solutions.
