FORMADRAIN Trenchless Technology
No-Dig Sewer Rehabilitation

 

 

The Top 9 Reasons Why ‘FORMADRAIN No-Dig’ May The Best Trenchless Technology System Out There…

1. FORMADRAIN trenchless technology is a true no dig system:   Almost all lateral pipe repair or “rehabilitation” systems involve digging – even the so-called “trenchless” systems. The FORMADRAIN system requires no digging whatsoever. This means:

  • Speedy repairs (your job gets done faster) 
  • Savings in time, labor & equipment 
  • Minimal setup space (no digging) 
  • Environmentally friendly 
  • Safe for public utilities

Instead of repairing or “rehabilitating” a damaged pipe, the FORMADRAIN system actually renews it with a completely brand new pipe – right inside the old one (with minimal loss in diameter). The system can be used to repair:

  • Split, cracked or broken joints 
  • Poorly installed or leaky joints 
  • Water infiltration 
  • Leakage problems (resulting from aging, corrosion, etc.) 
  • It stops root intrusion permanently. 

3. The Entire Pipe is Lined:
With our system, the new pipe completely fills the old one – with absolutely no seams or joints. The entire pipe is one single piece. And there are no gaps anywhere around the new pipe, so there is no chance of tree roots – for example – penetrating and causing future damage (with many other systems the new pipe lies at the bottom of the old one leaving a gap at the top).

4. Get Perfect Transitions:
Systems that use felt have to have pieces sown together to deal with a transition, creating a weakness. The FORMADRAIN system creates perfect 3-4, 4-5 or 4-6 transitions, all in one piece from one size pipe to another – and any size main or lateral pipe can be lined, from 2 to 60 inches.

5. Suitable for All Kinds of Piping:
Whether you need to repair public sewer systems, industrial, residential or commercial pipes, the system works perfectly. It also does not matter what material the pipe is made of (clay, concrete, asbestos cement, corrugated steel, etc.). The system can be adapted to any need.

Our special steam heated curing system means that a new pipe can be cured in about half an hour and ready to use (a 50-foot lateral pipe can be ready in 35 minutes). Other systems can literally take hours before the curing process is finished, as they are dependant on the temperature in the environment. Our “hot cure” system also means higher quality control for you.

7. Gives You Time to Get the Job Done:
The FORMADRAIN system allows you up to four hours – once the resin is mixed – to get the job done. With other systems such as “ambient cure” you can't control the “open” time (after resin and hardener are mixed); the time you have for repair relies on the ambient temperature. This benefit is possible due to our exclusive materials which are designed to harden when they are heated (our system is simple to use and efficient).

8. The Process is Completely Odorless:
A major problem with other systems is the odor from the chemicals used in pipe repair, which commonly smell very bad and are usually toxic (requiring a face mask). The FORMADRAIN system is odorless. This is a major plus on residential or commercial sites (restaurants, hospitals, etc.).

9. Will Last for 50 Years or More:
Our special materials allow for a relatively thin and yet incredibly strong pipe - stronger than any other system on the market. Unlike other systems which use felt (with polyester, etc.), our system employs fiberglass and a special epoxy resin that is really tough – it can’t be broken with a sledgehammer. As one contractor put it, “The strength of the cured liner was better than we had ever imagined.” (John E. Reid, Illinois).

What Professionals Are Saying About FORMADRAIN:

“As a Trenchless Technology Rehabilitation Contractor for over 25 years I tried several types of internal repairs. None were as consistently successful as the Formadrain System.”    
—Richard G. Perez, Burlington, Vermont

    “We have been installing FORMADRAIN liners since 1999 and it has been a very successful system for our company. Over the years, we have referred this product to several companies...”    
—Jim Sauve, President, CamSpec, Ontario

“We feel the Formadrain lining system is very user friendly. We especially like that cure time in most cases is 35 minutes compared to some systems with 4 to 6 hours. Also, the working time is up to 4 hours… The Formadrain system lets us line from one foot to hundreds of feet. This allows us to handle many job situations. The strength of the cured liner was better than we had ever imagined.”   —John E. Reid, Trenchless Innovations, Illinois

The Difference Between Trenchless Technology And No-Dig:  T renchless Technology is often confused with No-Dig Technology.  Although they are similar they are not the same thing.  Both are underground pipe rehabilitation systems but there are some important differences.

TRENCHLESS:   The term “trenchless” can be misleading so don’t be fooled: Although there is no trench that is dug, almost all the other systems out there involve digging holes – sometimes as long as six feet! 

NO DIG:  The first major advantage of our system is that it’s truly a No Dig System.  With FORMADRAIN there is no digging, ever.  All repairs are done from existing access points, sewer cleanouts and manholes.

There are other valuable differences as detailed in this website.  For more information give us a call at (888) 337-6764.
