Perma-Liner™

We offer a single access pipe relining system to rehabilitate existing building service laterals without the need of extensive digging and liability.

Now you can rehabilitate existing building service pipelines in diameters from 2" to 8" in less then a day and in most cases less then 5 hours! This "true" inversion method allows the Perma-Lateral™ lining materials to negotiate 22's, 45's and sweeping 90's with ease. Our patent liner material allows our installers to line through 4" - 6" transitions without changing the structural properties of the liner.

Only Perma-Liner™ Perma-Lateral™ liner materials have a reinforced scrim to eliminate stretch during the inversion process. The reinforcement scrim allows the liner to invert smoothly through the existing pipeline while preventing the liner from stretching. Our installers are able to line an existing pipeline without inverting into city sewer mains.

The Perma-Lateral™ Lining System / Cured-In-Place Pipe (CIPP) is the only system and materials to be approved for lining existing 2" to 8" diameter pipelines in the City of Los Angeles, Ca. The approval has been granted by the City of Los Angeles, Ca. Department of Building and Safety per strict Los Angeles Plumbing Code (LAPC) requirements and 3rd party testing. Perma-Lateral™ Lining Materials meet their strict non-stretch liner requirements. Only Perma-Liner™ provides non-stretch lining materials. The Perma-Lateral™ liner allows the installer to invert the liner through the existing building sewer pipeline to the city main sewer connection without stretching into the city sewer main. Normal felt liners without the scrim can stretch into the city sewer main and cause blockages that require emergency digging and/or robotic cutting devices.

Hydro Jetting

Hydro Jetting is a process in which your sewer pipes are scoured by streams of high-pressure water shooting out of a hose at up to 3,500 psi.  These high-pressure streams are strong enough to cut through and clear out any debris in your sewer lines.
 
How does Hydro Jetting work?

Hydro Jetting is typically done through an opening called a cleanout, which is an accessible opening present in every plumbing system and designed to allow plumbers to easily "clean out" debris and other clogs.  A Hydro Jetter consists of a large tank of water, a special high-pressure hose, a special high-strength nozzle, and a machine which pressurizes the water in the hose so that it can spray out of the nozzle at a pressurized rate of up to 3,500 psi and a flow rate of 18 gpm.
Every plumbing system is designed to carry waste water "downstream" using gravity.  The Hydro Jetting nozzle is placed at the "downstream" end of the plumbing system and it works its way "upstream" against gravity.  That way, any debris that is cleared out by the Hydro Jetter will harmlessly flow downstream where the drainage path is already clear.  The Hydro Jetters used by Angel Plumbers are capable of clearing out sewer lines over a length of several hundred feet.
 
When would I need Hydro Jetting?

Hydro Jetting is an appropriate solution when clogs cannot be removed through traditional snaking, such as in the presence of stubborn roots that have found their way into your sewer lines.  Hydro Jetting is also required before Pipe Lining because any debris present in the existing pipe may cause the epoxy lining resin to be malformed and / or prevent it from bonding correctly to the existing pipe.
 
What are the benefits of Hydro Jetting?

Hydro Jetting can easily cut through the most stubborn roots and debris and remove built-up mineral deposits and other obstructions clogging the inside of your drainage line.
Although Hydro Jetting is strong enough to clear out roots from your sewer lines, any amount of root penetration is cause for serious concern.  Root penetration pervasive enough to cause repeated backups indicates that the roots have gotten thick enough over time to damage the pipe and its protective waterproof inner coating.  In those instances, Spartan Plumbing recommends getting a Camera Inspection to determine the seriousness of the condition, because sewer line replacement via Pipe Bursting may be required.

Smoke Testing

Smoke testingis used to find places where pipes will spill fluid. Smoke testing of sanitary sewer systems is primarily used to find places where ground water and storm runoff can enter the sanitary sewer system.

Non-toxic smoke is used to find leaks in plumbing and sanitary sewer systems. Artificially created smoke is forced into the pipe or container. Plumes of smoke form where there are defects. It is particularly useful where completely sealing the system is not practical such as ventilated sanitary sewer systems.

When smoke testing a sanitary sewer system it is helpful to partially block off the section of sewer to be tested. This can be done by using a sand bag on the end of a rope. The sand bag is lowered into the manhole and swung into position to partially block lines. Completely blocking the line can cause water to back up and prevent smoke from escaping through defects. Smoke testing may not be done after rain or when ground water is unusually high as this may also prevent detection of defects.

Large downdraft fans, usually powered by gasoline engines, are placed on top of open manholes at either end of the section to be tested. If possible all lines in the manholes except for the line between the manholes are partially blocked. Smoke is created using either a smoke bomb or liquid smoke. Smoke bombs are lit and placed on a grate or in a holder on top of each fan or the liquid smoke is injected into the fan via a heating chamber. The fans create a pressure differential that forces the artificial smoke into the sewer at a pressure just above atmospheric. With properly installed plumbing, the traps will prevent the smoke from entering the house and redirect it out the plumbing vents.

Defective plumbing systems or dry traps will allow smoke to enter the inside of the house.
The area around the section being tested is searched for smoke plumes. Plumes coming from plumbing vents or the interface between the fan shroud and manhole rim are normal; however, smoke plumes outside of the manhole rim are not. Plumes are marked, usually with flags, and defects are noted using measurements from stationary landmarks like the corners of houses. The plumes or markers may also be photographed.

Pipe Bursting

Pipe bursting is a trenchless method of replacing buried  pipelines (such as sewer, water, or natural gas pipes) without the need for a traditional construction trench. An expanding device called an expander head, which may be either pneumatic or  hydraulic, is introduced into the defective pipeline through a launching pit. As it travels through the pipeline toward the receiving pit it breaks the pipe into many small pieces, pushing the pieces into the surrounding soil. New pipe is attached to the back of the expander head, replacing the line immediately. Pipebursting may also be used to expand pipeline carrying capacity by replacing smaller pipes with larger ones, or upsizing; Extensive proving work by the gas and water industries has demonstrated the feasibility of upsizing gas mains, water mains and  sewers. Upsizing from 100mm to 225mm diameter is now well established, and pipes of up to 600mm diameter and greater have been replaced.
