Resin Rehabilitation Services in Springfield, IL
Over the years, drain lines can deteriorate from exposure to fats, oils, bleaches, acids, chemical compounds, carbonation, tree roots, and normal wear and tear. Aging or damaged drain lines do not always require complete pipe replacement. Resin rehabilitation allows Steve Ray Plumbing to restore qualifying pipes from the inside by applying a durable resin coating that helps protect the integrity of the existing line and reduce the need for extensive excavation.
Our Springfield, IL plumbing team uses professional inspection, cleaning, and resin-coating equipment to address corrosion, deterioration, cracks, and other common pipe issues in both small and large lines. By creating a smooth, protective interior surface, resin rehabilitation can help improve pipe function, extend the life of the line, and provide a practical long-term alternative to traditional pipe replacement.
​
What the Resin Rehabilitation Process Entails:
The resin rehabilitation process starts with a video inspection to determine the cause of the problem with your pipes. Most often, the issue involves cracks, leaks, and deterioration that come from consistent use over time. When our professionals identify the issue, they’ll be able to decide if applying a resin liner is an appropriate course of action. They will establish the pipe size and how it’s made then use appropriate methods to prep the line, such as our high-speed cleaning machine and high-velocity water jetting to remove interior scaling and built-up debris. When the line is dry, we use a spin brush to coat the inside of the pipe with resin and then we repeat the process multiple times to create a smooth surface in the pipe. The entire process can usually be done in a day and the rehabilitation will last for years.
How Pipe Resin Rehabilitation Works
Video Pipe Inspection
We inspect the line to identify cracks, deterioration, buildup, root intrusion, and other problems.
Pipe Cleaning and Preparation
High-speed cleaning and water jetting remove scale and debris so the resin can properly adhere to the pipe.
Resin Application
Once the line is prepared and dry, specialized equipment applies resin to the interior walls of the pipe.
Additional Coats and Curing
Multiple applications may be used to create a smooth, durable interior surface.
Final Inspection
The finished line can be inspected to confirm the condition of the rehabilitated pipe.
When to Replace the Resin on Your Plumbing Pipes:
Fortunately, once you apply a coating of resin to your plumbing pipes, you won’t have to worry about needing to replace the resin for quite some time. Resins tend to last between 40 and 50 years, so you can essentially expect your newly lined pipe to last about as long as a total pipe replacement, though at a fraction of the cost. Brand new resin lining is durable and resistant to corrosion and further deterioration. When completed properly by an expert technician like our team members at Steve Ray Plumbing in Springfield, IL, you can expect your resin to be an exceptional long-term solution for the functionality and longevity of your pipes.
The Benefits of Resin Rehabilitation
If a customer needs to rehabilitate any drains or pipelines that have been damaged or corroded, relining the pipe with a quality resin is often the best solution.
