Sprayed-in-Place (SIPP) trenchless pipe repair consists of two primary steps. First, the damaged pipe is inspected using a specialized video camera. Then the pipe is cleaned and the surface prepared to receive the certified (Safe for drinking water) pipe coating. Secondly, a special spray tool is inserted into the pipe and a durable coating is applied to the inside surface. The Pipe Coater process allows for hundreds of feet of old pipe to be rehabilitated in one continuous run, thus eliminating every crack, break and seam where leaks and root infestations occur.
