What is a “reinstatement” and how does it work?
A reinstatement happens when we line a host pipe with a branch line that ties into it, such as a kitchen drain, a floor drain, or maybe another bathroom. When we line the host, it will close off the connection, which means we will need to “reinstate” that branch line. The most effective way to reinstate a branch line is with our specialized robotic cutter with a camera head attached. This allows for accurate cutting.
Once the hole has been reinstated, we have a few options for proceeding. We can continue to use the robotic cutter, or we can use our picote rejuvenation machine. Our picote rejuvenation machine has different attachments, allowing us to provide a smooth and precise opening.

What Is the difference between CIPP and PIPP lining?
The main difference between the two lining systems is that the CIPP process only needs one access point. The PIPP process needs two access points, similar to pipe bursting. CIPP stands for Cured in Placed Pipe, and PIPP means Pulled in Place Pipe.
