CIPP rehabilitation of branch pipes

When the issue is in one point — but not just a simple leak

In branch pipes, problems usually appear in a localized way.
A leak in the kitchen, an issue in the bathroom, a persistent smell…

But in many cases, once we inspect it, the issue is not just that one point — the pipe section itself is already degraded.

That’s where CIPP rehabilitation makes sense — it allows us to solve the branch as a whole, without opening floors or walls.

What we typically find in branch pipes

From CCTV inspections, we often see:

• cracks in PVC or clay pipes

• joints with loss of watertightness

• poor connections to appliances

• intrusions or irregular fittings

• areas with buildup due to internal irregularities

Even though these are short sections, the effects can be immediate — leaks into floors, walls or even the apartment below.

How CIPP lining works

The idea is to create a new pipe inside the existing branch.

A fiberglass liner with resin is inserted and then cured using UV/LED, forming a continuous new pipe.

After curing, the branch becomes:

• watertight (no leaks)

• structurally reinforced

• smooth on the inside

• with improved flow

All of this without breaking floors or walls.

Access without demolition — in real situations

One of the main advantages is that the work is done through existing access points:

• traps and siphons

• inspection chambers

• removal of sanitary fixtures when needed

In most cases, we can work without demolition — which makes a huge difference in occupied homes.

When CIPP makes sense for a branch pipe

It’s important to be clear: not every branch needs CIPP.

This solution is recommended when:

• there are multiple defects along the pipe

• cracks exist along the length

• leaks persist after local repairs

• you want to avoid breaking floors

If it’s just a joint or a small leak, epoxy may be enough.
But when the issue affects the whole section, a continuous solution makes more sense.

Durability and real performance

When properly installed, CIPP creates a new pipe with a lifespan of several decades.

It’s a structural solution — not a temporary fix — and helps avoid repeated interventions in the same area.

Preparation: what ensures a good result

Before installation, there is a key preparation phase:

• CCTV inspection for proper diagnosis

• full cleaning of the pipe

• checking connections

• access evaluation

Without this, there is no reliable result — simple as that.

A solution for branch pipes without turning your home into a construction site

CIPP allows us to solve problems in a controlled and technical way, avoiding demolition in kitchens, bathrooms or floors.

It’s especially useful when the issue has already happened more than once — and patch repairs are no longer enough.
