Facts About Sewer Pipe Bursting Technology

Posted on by

Sewer pipe bursting technology, also referred to as trenchless pipe excavation, has made some significant improvements over the past decade. Before, if you caught news that a local sewage pipe ruptured and needs repaired, you would instantly imagine (and expect) massive road demolition, extensive traffic congestion, long-term construction, and near-by commercial businesses taking a financial hit.

Sewer pipe repair used to be tedious, inconvenient, and messy; blocking popular high-traffic roadways and businesses and costing loads more money to accomplish. But with the latest advancements in plumbing pipe repair, there is a better and easier way of doing things now. Continue reading to learn more about trenchless pipe bursting technology and how it benefits companies, contractors, and various industries in terms of pipe repair and replacement.

Pipe Repair and Replacement

Trenchless pipe repair and replacement is the perfect solution to fixing damaged or problematic sewage pipes deep beneath the ground. Its process is quite simple actually: two holes are dug, one at each end of the section of piping that needs repaired. Then a remote-controlled machine is inserted into one hole and guided through the pipe until it’s near the second hole. If the pipe simply needs renovating or reinforcing, there are two easy methods:

  1. Insert a polyethylene tube after the machine is inserted, and then expand it or attach it to the inner walls of the existing piping using hot air or ultraviolet light.
  2. Spray an epoxy resin onto the inner walls of the existing piping.

For larger projects and repairs, these simple patching remedies won’t do. The level of repair and replacement must be kicked up a notch. This is where trenchless pipe bursting technology becomes most useful. Just like before, a remote-guided machine is inserted into one hole, but this time it has an auger attached to the front of it. It is directed through the path of the pipe, or the corrected path, slicing the existing pipe walls to shreds with thin blades. This forces the old piping to the side and allows new piping to be inserted and expanded. This eliminates several hazards and inconveniences, like ground heaving, heavy construction, massive demolition, and more.

If you are a commercial business or property owner that requires pipe repair and replacement services, be sure to trust only a licensed master plumber for the job. This kind of work requires a unique, comprehensive understanding of plumbing systems and pipe works that only master plumbers retain. Be sure they have more than 10 years of experience so they are familiar with the old and new versions of underground piping and sewage systems.

The Home Improvement Enemy

Posted on by

…”I was going to join Procrastinators Anonymous today, but I think I’ll do it tomorrow.”

Cute – yet, procrastination can be the number one home improvement enemy to getting that interior design project started or completed.

It’s is a behavior that effects almost everyone at one time or another.

It’s strange how this little critter feeds on itself. For example, if you need to write someone or make a phone call, you put it off until you feel guilty…then you feel guilty, so, its put it off even more…now you’re feeling even worse. The ironic part of this is when you finally do act on what needs to be done…you feel so much better and the consequences of putting it off are surprisingly mild.

So, why do we procrastinate? Here are some main reasons.

1. Fear – Usually a subtle shadow of emotion that breaks down into 2 categories:

Fear of failure. What if your interior design efforts don’t turn out the way you expected? What if you make a mistake? What if the color or furniture piece is wrong? And, so it goes. This kind of thinking will only sabotage some great design goals. True there is risk in design, but there is so much help available to get you going, it can only paralyze if you allow it.

Fear of Success may mean the requirement to perform consistently a certain way for continued benefit- and we just may not want to do that…

2. The task at hand may not be a priority. There may be something else that is “way more important”. This can be a legitimate reason for a season, but when does it become just an excuse?

3. Not Enough Information. Again a reasonable delay but at what point do we need to find the information to finish the task. Free information is dripping off the internet. This fantastic Ezine service is a good case in point. It’s loaded with valuable information from experts around the world containing most everything you need to know about interior design from A to Z.

4. Too Busy – Ha, ain’t it the truth – or is it?

5. Procrastination is Our Friend. We put fun stuff in its place. Who wouldn’t want to go out for coffee with a friend over laundry, ironing, painting a wall or closet organization? Doing what is fun is always more fun than doing what needs to be done.

6. Some one else will do it. OK this is a good reason to put it off. Because the truth is, you can recruit someone else to do it. Professional designers, organizers and custom laborers are all out there with a passion to help your interior design ideas come to life. If it’s a budget thing, the problem is not procrastination but cash flow.

7. Don’t Want to Do It – No one wants to do the disgusting (bathrooms) or dangerous (gutter cleaning) jobs. But, a clear understanding of what we will and won’t do clarifies the solution. Hire someone to do it for you!

8. Simple Laziness – I think I’ll take a nap.

Though every one of these 8 procrastination reasons are normal, the consequences to putting things off is the same – stress or a low grade dissatisfaction with the way your home looks and feels because it is simply, not you.

Try not to take the path of procrastination, you will be much happier at home if you work through the ambivalence and start that home interior project today!
