EQUIX understands the need to stop infiltration at all sources and offers mainline joint grouting, manhole grouting, and lateral joint grouting. Utilizing packers and state-of-the-art CCTV, test, and seal trucks, chemical grout is injected into a leaking joint, forming a water-tight barrier to infiltration. Manholes are drilled in multiple areas, and grout is injected by pump to blanket the entire manhole, sealing any and all leaks from weepers to gushers.
Grouting manufacturers have records and testing that depict it can last anywhere from 25 years to 50 years.
Grouting, in addition to CIPP lining, is the best way to ensure all possible entry points for infiltration are sealed.
Yes. Chemical grouting can restore stability to surrounding soils eroded away from infiltration. If done early in the stage of pipe failure, it could prevent severe damage.
