    It never fails to amaze me how creative people can be to make old things new. In an age where everything is disposable its really cool to see things like this.
  • @calebking1002
    This is genius, I’m a plumber and I can think of so many ground works and buildings I’ve done where this lining can save time instead of chipping concrete and dirt
  • I love how they omit to mention the shrinkage in diameter and flow of the pipes. It's definitely insignificant when compared to a clogged pipe. I'm sure however, that there is a minimum diameter requirement for pipes, to be repairable using this method. Nonetheless, the method its genius!
  • @midwesthoodrat
    I work with epoxy everyday and can say that's what we use as a lining on all of our wastewater jobs. Great product, very different than ordinary water-based latex.
  • @cyphercracker
    Big up to the guy who invented this. We used this method in our house last year and price was 1/7 of changing the pipes.
  • @AlexGray
    We use this method on our stormwater pipes, usually about 36” in diameter and sometimes bigger but we were told the life expectancy is over 80 years. Sure saves a lot of time not having to dig up the old pipe and worry about utilities, landscape, sidewalks, or roads.
  • @DreamingAstro
    Never thought a pipe cleaning and restoration video would be so interesting. Good job
  • @gfde7421
    as a chemist and developer specializing in resins for basf, it's nice to see that epoxy became more popular over the last 10 years.
  • @mkhidir93
    The guy who invented this needs a Nobel Prize.
  • I used to work for Insituform and we did CIPP all over the east coast of the US but the ones we did were already impregnated with resin when they arrived on a refrigerated truck. Biggest one I ever worked on was an OTHWO that was 48 inches in diameter and was 1700 feet long. Amazing technology.
  • @davidsf101
    I've been a corrosion engineer for 26 years and have seen a lot of corroded pipes in my time. For pipe interiors, this is a great method to prolong the life. The outside of the pipe which is buried in the ground can be protected with a protective coating system and an electrochemical method widely used called cathodic protection. Coatings, linings and cathodic protection can increase the useful life of metallic pipes by dozens of years or longer, if properly installed and maintained. Great video 📹 👍 👏
  • @ivoryowl
    The wonders of technology and inventive minds. :)
  • @alianajacobs5703
    That is just freaking amazing! Well done Kenneth Kaas! Your a genius!
  • very interesting and useful. thumbs up for the inventor of this method. i never forget one year in winter we had to change a pipe and how difficult it was.
  • @TheBugkillah
    Great for cracked pipes under slabs or in walls where it would be tough to replace. More expensive than pvc alone, but less expensive than tearing up slabs or walls.
  • @heldt952
    You can also run cables along with these inliners "outside" the new pipe: If you use fiber cables, for example, specialized controllers can detect if and where you have a new leak (or: the first leak in your pipe) AND you can still use the cable for a data transport. People are also researching, whether this technology can be used to make existing methane / natural gas or even oil pipelines fit for hydrogen transport, which is a huge challenge for all involved materials.
