Fast interventions with no demolition required
Pipe crack and rupture repair with epoxy
Epoxy repair allows you to restore pipe watertightness without opening walls or floors. It is a practical solution when the issue is still manageable and you want to avoid disruptive works.
Instead of replacing the pipe, we work from the inside, sealing leak points and stabilising the system.
Where these problems appear
From our day-to-day CCTV inspections, cracks and small ruptures are very common in:
- older PVC or clay pipes
- degraded joints
- connections between branch lines and stacks
- areas under slight movement or stress
Many of these issues start small but eventually lead to leaks, odours or visible damage in walls and ceilings.
How epoxy repair works
The process involves applying epoxy resin inside the pipe, forming a continuous internal layer that seals cracks and leak points.
Once cured, the lining creates a surface that is:
- watertight
- smoother internally
- protective against wear and corrosion
In most cases, the effect is immediate — the leak stops and the pipe performance stabilises.
When this solution makes sense
Epoxy repair is suitable when:
- cracks or ruptures are localised
- there is leakage but no structural failure
- the problem is not along the entire pipe
- demolition should be avoided
It is widely used in occupied properties where traditional works would be disruptive.
Limitations – when epoxy is not enough
Not everything should be repaired with epoxy — and it's important to be clear about that.
If the pipe has:
- sagging or deformation
- misalignment
- significant structural loss
then a structural solution such as CIPP is usually required. Epoxy improves watertightness but does not fix structural issues.
Advantages of trenchless repair
When properly applied, epoxy repair allows:
- leak repair without demolition
- shorter intervention time
- minimal disruption
- extended pipe lifespan
It is often the right solution when the problem is still at an intermediate stage.
Inspection before repair
Before any repair, it is essential to understand the real condition of the pipe. That’s why we always start with a CCTV inspection.
This is what determines whether epoxy is sufficient — or if a different approach is needed.
Targeted repair without demolition
When correctly applied, epoxy solves the problem directly, quickly and without unnecessary works. The key is applying it in the right situation.
If you have leaks or suspect internal damage, we can assess and clearly advise the best solution.

At REVIPOX we always start with inspection. Based on CCTV diagnosis, we define whether epoxy, CIPP or another solution is the right approach. Call +351 930 650 707 for a technical assessment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our process
At REVIPOX, we’ve gathered the most common questions about our epoxy pipe rehabilitation method.
Here you’ll find clear answers about how it works, how long it takes, and why it’s the most durable no-dig solution available.
Have another question? Request your diagnostic assessment.Yes, in many cases. When the damage is localized and the pipe is still structurally stable, we can seal the cracks from the inside without replacing the pipe or carrying out demolition work.
Yes, epoxy is effective at sealing cracks, micro-openings, and leak points. After application and curing, it creates a continuous layer that restores watertightness and stabilizes the pipe’s performance.
When applied under the right conditions, it is a durable solution. It is not a surface-level fix, but a technical intervention that addresses the actual problem. However, it always depends on the condition of the pipe.
If there are deformations, misalignments, structural collapse, or significant material loss, epoxy will not solve the problem. In these cases, a structural solution such as CIPP or pipe replacement may be required.
Through CCTV pipe inspection. This allows us to precisely locate the damaged areas and determine whether epoxy is suitable or if another solution is needed.
In most cases, the intervention is quick and can be completed within the same day. As no demolition is involved, disruption is minimal and the system can be back in use quickly.
