We want to bring your attention to a current infrastructure crisis in the city of Seattle. This is of particular concern to Seattle homeowners (who may well know about this already). It illustrates an issue with all homes that are near or past the 50-year-old mark.

This 2016 article by the Seattle Times tells the story. Allegedly, around half of all Seattle homes were built before 1961. The material used for these old sewer pipes was primarily concrete. 50+ years later, these pipes are failing and causing major expenses for homeowners.
This problem can’t be escaped, especially since word has gotten around. Home buyers are asking about the pipes, and even paying for inspections prior to finalizing a purchase.
The homeowner is responsible for all piping up to the main. This can get expensive when old and failing pipes run under city sidewalks. This means the homeowner is not only shouldering the cost of renovating their pipes, but also on the hook for removing and replacing sidewalks that are in the way.
The solution, though, is obvious. With modern trenchless technology, excavation is no longer necessary. The entire sewer system, all the way to the main, can be renovated in less time for a significantly reduced cost. Enter CIPP.

Cured-in-place-piping (CIPP)
You can have your whole sewer system updated with Cured-in-place-pipe (CIPP). Even the ancient concrete pipes that exist in Seattle’s older homes can be swiftly replaced with modern materials like PVC.
Cracked? Broken? Got a root invading the pipe? No problem. We can fix all of that in a matter of hours. And at a much lower cost than traditional methods that involve excavating yards, driveways, and sidewalks.
Cured-in-place-piping is a trenchless method of pipe renovation that inserts a resin-coated liner into the existing pipe via the use of compressed air. The resin then cures in place, creating a fully functional, built-to-spec pipe.
The advantages of trenchless pipe repair are simple: no mess, no excavation, rapid repairs, and at a substantially reduced cost. To learn more about the CIPP process, you can see this breakdown.
