Pipeline repair methods

The complexity of the work and the use of certain materials and tools depend on the type of pipe and location of the leak. The master’s task is to first determine where the leak is located and, based on experience, choose the method and means of eliminating it. The owner himself can perform some actions at home:

• for steel pipes the following methods are used: tying with gauze or asbestos fiber with cement mortar; for small holes - screw in a bolt of the appropriate diameter; applying a “bandage” of rubber, tin or fiberglass using wire or a metal clamp.
• For plastic products (polyethylene and polypropylene pipes), welding with a special soldering iron will be effective (damaged parts are dismantled and new ones are inserted), and minor defects are sealed with electrical tape.
• The weak point of metal-plastic is the fittings, which tend to become loose and leak water over time. Usually it is enough to tighten or replace them in order to improve the tightness.

Keep in mind: all of the above are temporary measures; they do not guarantee the restoration of system functionality for a long time. If the plumbing work is done incorrectly, it will only lead to bigger problems. And in cases where pipe laying is carried out hidden, during the repair process it will be necessary to dismantle the finishing of the walls or floor in the room (they are often tiled, and this is not an easy test).

Trust our organization! We will quickly resolve any problem, be it an emergency or the need for scheduled repairs! Warranty provided.

Installation of sheet polymer gear sections using Trolining technology

a - basic installation system (with one gear section and filling the voids between the inner surface of the pipe and the gear elements); b - the same with the use of an intermediate protective layer; c - the same with the use of an additional elastic element around the gear section; g—installation system with two gear sections; 1 - damaged pipe; 2 - injector; 3 — gear section; 4 - protective layer; 5 - elastic element

The “Trolining” system of internal flexible segments allows the use of various types of sections that differ from each other in surface structure (single-layer, multi-layer and combined with protective layers).

Using a flexible combined sleeve (stocking). The essence of this restoration method is the formation of a new composite thin-walled pipe inside the repair section of the pipeline, which has a sufficiently independent load-bearing capacity with a minimal reduction in the diameter of the existing pipeline.

To implement the method, a combined sleeve, which is a reinforcing material (fiberglass, synthetic felt) impregnated with a thermosetting binder, is passed inside the dilapidated pipeline through inspection wells. Then, a coolant (steam, hot water) is supplied under pressure into the inner sealed shell of the combined hose, which straightens the hose, presses it to the inner surface of the pipeline and polymerizes the binder, forming a new composite pipe.

Turning and advancing a combined hose in a pipeline can be done using a flexible element (cable), a liquid or gas medium supplied under pressure, or by using both methods together.

Using roll winding (endless profile tape) on the inner surface of the old pipeline. For the renovation of non-pressure drainage pipelines, the Ribloc and Expanda-Pipe methods can be used. They allow you to line the inner surface of pipelines with PVC tape. To do this, a special machine is installed in the well, which performs several functions: applying (winding) an endless tape along the inner diameter of the pipeline, its fastening; pouring adhesive resin; pushing the resulting PVC frame inside the repair section of the pipeline, expanding the frame to fix it on the structure being restored. After the winding process, the remaining free annular space between the restored pipe and the new frame is filled with a special solution and compacted with a tamper to increase static strength.

Stages of work

Problems with the pipeline or heating system can create serious inconvenience for the owner of a private home or office. Due to damage to the pipes, it becomes simply impossible to use heating and water supply in the apartment normally. You should not try to carry out construction work yourself - this can lead to more serious problems and the need to replace elements. It is better to entrust the solution of everyday issues to professionals. They will be able to identify a leak in a pipe and understand how to deal with it, taking into account various factors.

A problem with water supply can arise in any part of the house: kitchen, bathroom, another room. Repair of pipes in a house or apartment is always carried out in several stages. It all starts with studying the current situation related to home heating or water supply. The specialist determines why the pipe is leaking, whether it is possible to repair pumps, coolants, taps and siphons, looks at what problems exist at the moment, and how living conditions can be improved. After this, he draws up a project for further work, if necessary.

The second stage is preparation. The room must be cleared of objects that may interfere with the repair of pipes in the apartment. Only after this can you begin working with the water supply system. Items that may interfere with repairs are dismantled; for example, a special box containing sewer pipes, a cast-iron bathtub, cabinets and other furniture is often removed. The necessary equipment, for example, fittings and other devices, is being prepared. The water is shut off if this has not been done before.

Only after this does the main part of the work with the threaded connection, section and other fragments begin. First, the area that requires repair is thoroughly dried. Then the preparation of the pipe, links, and joints begins: it is necessary to remove rust (important for metal options), sealant and paint, and degrease the surface. We use special mechanical devices that allow us to perform all manipulations clearly and accurately.

When the sewer pipes are prepared, the repair of the structure itself begins. It can be carried out as follows:

• applying a special product that prevents air from entering the pipe and leaks (for example, sealant, epoxy resin, etc.);
• welding (cold or any other), soldering.

In some cases, a clamp (round, rectangular or other shape) can be used, however, this is a temporary measure to quickly resolve the issue of a pipe leak. Repairing the heating and water supply systems will reduce costs. If it is impossible to repair the element, the specialist will suggest you replace the pipes with new ones. Metal-plastic, copper, and metal options are popular. Sometimes polypropylene pipework is also installed. All these materials are modern and of high quality. Such elements will serve you for a long time. Installation of pipes and heating systems will not take much time; the work can be completed in a few hours.

Regardless of which repair method is used, you can be confident in the quality of the services of the plumbers who work in our company. They will do everything quickly and accurately, the problem with water supply and heating will be solved in a moment.

How to fix a water pipe leak?

A water pipe leak is the most common type of breakdown that can occur in any area of ​​industrial or private communication.

You can fix a small leak using a waterproof sealant and bandage.

Important! Before starting to repair a water supply leak, it is imperative to turn off the water in the system. Next, you should dry the area of ​​the leak and only after all these manipulations can you proceed directly to fixing this breakdown.

To combat leaks, there are several ways that you should pay attention to:

1. Using a special sealant or epoxy glue. In this case, before starting to repair the leak, you need to remove the rust around the damaged area. It is recommended to free the surface of rust within a radius of 5 centimeters around the leaking area. Next you need to apply the sealant. If epoxy glue is used to fix the leak, a bandage will be required. It is recommended to use the water supply after this no earlier than 12 hours later.
2. A special device - a flange - will also help to cope with leaks. It is worth noting that the use of a flange is a temporary measure, however, in this case the leak will be eliminated for a long time. The flange is a product that can be used repeatedly.
3. And finally, another method to combat leaks is a clamp made from a larger diameter pipe. To do this, make an incision at the site of the breakthrough and treat the area with glue. Then a pipe is installed in this place, which will serve as a clamp.

High-quality repair of heating pipes

If a water leak is detected, you need to contact professionals who will conduct diagnostics, determine the location of the wear, the cause of the damage, and professionally fix the problem. Our team is ready to help fix the problem.

Fixing a leak can be done in different ways. Sometimes a plumber will remove part of the pipe and install a new section. In other cases, a new coupling or fitting may be used.

Which method will be used to eliminate a leak in pipes can only be determined on site, after a thorough inspection and depending on its location. Our team uses only high-quality glue to fix minor leaks. We carry out major repairs in apartment buildings, the whole process is discussed in advance with the residents of the house, since sewerage and pipelines are common property.

Polypropylene

Causes

Polypropylene pipes sag and move in waves when heated for the only reason - due to a significant coefficient of thermal elongation.

This is approximately what polypropylene deformation looks like when heated.

Elimination

Compensators - ring or U-shaped bends - are welded into long straight sections. The pipe is fixed movably along its entire length so that it can move in the clamps.

Causes

Leaks can be caused by:

• Water hammer;
• Exceeding the recommended temperature;
• Welding an aluminum-reinforced pipe with a fitting without first cleaning it with a shaver. Aluminum comes into contact with water and is gradually destroyed by electrochemical processes, after which the pipe delaminates.

Elimination

Seven troubles - one answer: the damaged area is completely cut out, after which a new assembly is welded in its place.

The defective area must be replaced.

Do not forget that the water in the pipes is under pressure, and if the connection is poor, there will be a breakthrough and flooding of your home. And even the neighbors' apartments.

Large financial losses, major repairs, litigation - this is what poor-quality pipe repairs and reluctance to invite a professional plumber to your home lead to. Calling a plumber can save you tens of thousands of dollars.

Often citizens need not just pipe repairs, but also additional work - sewer installation, installation of meters. If you need meters or plumbing, for example, during a major renovation of an apartment, it would be wise to combine these procedures with updating your pipeline.

Replacing pipes is especially important in old housing stock, where the service life of steel pipes has already expired.
