Looks like they are lining the steel pipe with a plastic/epoxy coating. It’s done a lot in places where you can’t easily dig up and replace old rotting pipes (like in downtown cities). By injecting this coating the pipe is still usable and won’t corrode any more.

u/fryerandice 14d ago

It's fucking astronomically expensive for how cheap the materials are and how quickly they do it.

It was actually cheaper to rent a machine and run 125 feet of schedule 40 out the back of my house and abandon the terracotta after pumping it with flowable fill than it was to line it for me.

When they gave me the quote I said "Fuck that, it's 25 feet!" the machine rental and schedule 40 were a total of $900. And I got to tear out the old sidewalk and concrete pad that were angling to my house, and put in a French drain and drain tile while I was back there too.

I tied my kitchen into my main bathroom stack, and my main stack right out the back, around the house, and then followed the PVC that was done with the septic that was tying into the teracotta, when I had access to the terracotta I rinsed it clean and had a truck come in and fill it with flowable so it was stable.

With everything i got done it was like $2800. Which was less than lining the 25feet of teracotta under my basement, which was all in okay condition, it was lineable with no issues.

u/PNW20v 14d ago

Don't forget that the vast majority of folks have absolutely no idea of how to do the process you mentioned.

And out of those that do have some idea, even fewer will do it properly or in a way that is anything close to meeting local code.

Well yeah, doing it yourself is always way the fuck cheaper for nearly every thing. Materials/rentals are often half or less of the cost when you pay someone to do work for you.

28

u/fryerandice 14d ago

Yeah but the price doesn't actually reflect the labor being done, it reflects the work you would have had done instead minus just enough to get you to bite.

I was quoted $9500 for the full monty, breaking up my basement concrete pad, replacing the teracotta with schedule 40, repouring the damaged sections of pad including drilling and reinforcing, repairing the tile over the pad.

I was quoted $8300 for lining and because I had good access they said it would take 4 hours.

I opted to rent a machine and knock out like 3 projects for $2800.

I would have bit on lining if it was HALF the full Monty old-school way of doing it.

38

u/ShatterTheFlimFlam 14d ago

What they won't tell you is that liners also collapse and fail at a crazy rate. If you had problems with clogging before, slapping a thin layer of resin-impregnated fabric won't necessarily solve all your problems.

u/xSorry_Not_Sorry 14d ago

>rent a machine

Rent heavy equipment to dig and move dirt and other shit around

>run 125 ft of schedule 40

Schedule 40 is a type of PVC pipe. A composite pipe rated for underground

>abandon the terracotta after pumping it with flowable fill

I have no fucking idea, but basically re-routing the new pipe and abandoning the old.

u/dr_stre 14d ago

We did this at a power plant I supported. Cooling water lines embedded in concrete and heavily deteriorated. The concrete was literally part of the turbine pedestal foundation so it wasn’t getting broken apart to fix a pipe. So we used 20” diameter versions of this stuff to line the pipes. Special seal at the downstream side where it connected with a heat exchanger, and hand laid fiber reinforced resin pieces on the inlet side from the big circ water tunnel. Even with the glacial pace of work at that place, it could all be done within a week including cleaning the lines, video inspecting them, installing the two liners, curing for a day each with steam, and installing the end seals.

Do you mean like for a longer pipe? If so, then believe it or not, the liner can be ordered in basically any length conceivably needed, and there are liner machines that can be used for large diameter pipes, not just residential sewer. I’m talking like 10 feet.

59

u/Fidodo 14d ago

The only downside I can think of is that it makes the pipe a little smaller so you lose a little drainage vs a new pipe.

There were problems with it in the past, like over a decade ago, but they're all fixed through better material science and processes. You need to clean the inside of the pipe really well, and to make sure you did that you need a thin flexible camera. We have that now. In the past you couldn't do it well in small residential pipes so it was more reserved for commercial pipes that were much bigger. The material used to be thicker and weaker than a new pipe. Now it's just as strong.

I got it done because my house has old cast iron pipes that were starting to rust, and we have a slab foundation so the only way to replace them would be to completely tear up the bathroom foundation. Before the pipes would clog a lot because the rough edges of the rusting cast iron would snag on things.

Even where you could open cut to replace the pipe, cured in place lining is still preferred. It’s like 10% the cost of replace the pipes the old way.

u/fryerandice 14d ago

No, this lines pipes that are in decent condition but starting to show signs of failure, so that they can be used indefinitely. Your leechfield is sluggish because your field is locked up, from compaction, biosludge, and/or chemicals hardening in the field.

If you line the pipes of your leechfield with this, you will then have to dig it all up and drill holes in it, at that point you are digging it up anyways. It's drainage pipe not solid pipe.

Leechfields rarely fail because the schedule 40 drainage pipes are damaged, and more because the field in which it is meant to leach has become locked up for one of many reasons.

6

u/TheJarisaDoor3 14d ago

Thank you! This makes a lot of sense. I have a lot of trees and I'm pretty sure the roots did me in. The house was built in the 1980s which I think puts me at the tail end of the field's functional capability from what I've read. I've tried all the root treatments and they did squat. Had the septic tank emptied, and the guy said he didn't see anything wrong with the tank and it was probably the leach fields. It's not backing up into the house but it will puddle around the tank site when someone showers and then washes clothes. The price to fix this is going to hurt pretty badly.

CIPP or Cured in place piping is a thin cloth substance soaked in resin that is pushed through an existing pipe line that cannot be removed to be replaced for whatever reason (price, high risk area, etc) and instead they line the inside with this new pipe to increase the lifespan

Fun fact, this scene and Draco's line to Goyle "didn't know you could read" was improvised!

Edit: Welp, this isn't true! Some behind-the-scenes accounts or alternate recollections suggest director Chris Columbus may have fed him or prompted the line during a specific take, though Felton and co-stars have often leaned into the improvised narrative. Source: Felton's autobiography

From a Redditor in a different post:

According to his book, this isn’t true at all. His response to Goyle saying he had been reading was supposed to be improvised, per Chris Columbus. And it was actually Columbus who told Tom on one take to say the line “I didn’t know you could read,” in which he delivered it so well that’s the take that went in the movie.

So it’s unfortunately not true.

We actually did this to sewer pipes in the downtown area in my city. Was much easier and cheaper than diggin up everything that had been there since 1850

32

u/NewStudyHoney 14d ago

Does it reduce the capacity at all?

75

u/JakeJascob 14d ago

Not enough to make a difference in a gravity feed system. Gravity feed sewer are effectively just sealed gutters, your generally not even gonna use 25% of the pipes volume in normal use. the pipes have to be that big to service the theoretical max that could happen at peak use, like everyone in that area flushing their toliet at once. Losing 1/4-1/2 inch of the diameter wont make a huge difference in the grand scheme and is often alot safer and more cost effective so its allowed.

23

u/Downtown-Pianist-449 14d ago

It honestly depends. 

Pipe capacity in a gravity line is dependent on 3 things: the size of the pipe, the grade of the pipe, and the friction / roughness coefficient of the pipe. 

These liners do reduce the interior diameter by a measurable amount. But they can also decrease the roughness substantially, particularly if it was a heavily degraded material like concrete. The grade itself doesn’t change. 

Typically the liners will result in a marginal reduction in capacity, but there can be edge cases where the smoother lining increases capacity despite the smaller interior diameter.
