PipePatch Saves Restoration Costs

Town of Tonawanda, NY

“The Town of Tonawanda recently bought the Fernco PipePatch System from EJ Prescott. This system saved our town money, not only in man hours, but in restoration costs as well. The pipe we patched was 8 inches and buried 9 feet deep. If we’d gone the traditional route, we would have had to tear out a fence, adding even more costs to the job. And the entire project took just three hours, compared to a conventional repair, which would have taken several days.”

PipePatch Wins Over Flint, MI

Sewer Foreman

City of Flint, MI

I’ve done a cost analysis of doing a PipePatch versus a dig and replace. Fully loaded cost to do a PipePatch of my labor (union) of four people, Jetter/Vactor Truck, Camera Truck, fuel, and the cost of an eight-inch four footer is $1,100. The bare minimum I can repair a shallow line is $5,500. This includes my time & materials plus an asphalt contractor. Using PipePatch, I can do a repair in three hours versus an open cut of two to three days.

PipePatch is There When Digging Isn't

DPW Superintendent

City of Frankenmuth, MI

When I applied for stimulus money and didn’t recieve the funds, I knew I had to find an alternative that would be as effective as an excavation. I found something better. I have a few spots I needed repaired immediately and I couldn't afford to have anything dug up. With PipePatch, I was able to repair the spots quickly and at a much lower cost. I also have a few larger sizes to repair and will recommend City Sewer do them with PipePatch.

Customers Extremely Satisfied with Trenchless Technology in Toronto

Homeowner

Toronto

I wanted to share our success story. The procedure was a little tricky with the cleanout very close to the location of the broken pipe making for a very shallow turn and not much wiggle room. Dwayne is a master! I'm sure it was a lot of effort but he made it look smooth. Bob Bielawski from Armco was observing too. Apologies to Dwayne for the close scrutiny. I was very curious about the process. The clay sewer pipe is now beautifully patched at 1/3 of the cost of the traditional 'excavation and replacement approach', in just a few hours and with no destruction to my property. I am a thrilled customer. EVERYONE was extremely helpful, polite and very responsive. I think you have a fabulous product that deserves to be much better known. Thanks again to everyone.”

PipePatch is Successful in Ontario, Canada

General Manager

Point Edward, ON

“When I was dealing with the customer originally, we were going to remove his porch and dig down to replace broken sewer. It was at this time our company decided to contact Source One and see about the pipe patch, as the customer asked if there were any alternatives to fix the problem instead of diggingup at his front entrance. We gave him a quote for replacing broken sewer and repair of sewer with Fernco pipe patch. Our estimate to replace sewer was $5,075.00 plus gst. This included excavation to replace broken pipe, removal of rail and block porch, re-cement and replace rail. The estimate to repair broken sewer was $2,975.00 plus gst. This included installing Source One pipe patch, camera and power wash. The savings for the customer was $2,100.00 plus gst. The savings was really even more for the customer due to no landscaping needed to be done which would have been an additional cost. To be very honest with you, I was very skeptical about Source One pipe patch. I felt the only way to repair a sewer and be able to guarantee ourwork was to excavate and replace. After using Source One pipe patch I can honestly feel comfortable guaranteeing our work and saving money... Read more ...

CIPP PipePatch Repairs are Effective in Merrillville, Indiana

MCD Field Superintendent / Industrial Pretreatment Coordinator

Merrillville Conservancy District - Indiana, US

mcdin.com

MCD has been using PipePatch for a few years now and we have well over 300 repairs in the ground. We periodically check the first patch that we installed years ago and it looks as good today as the day it was put in. Before PipePatch came along we had either contracted with an outside company to perform point repairs or had to dig up and replace the pipes. Both of these proving to be extremely costly.
Within a couple weeks of starting to install our own repairs we were proficient at it and we currently install two, sometimes three, PipePatches per day. By installing PipePatch point repairs instead of digging up and replacing lines, we can save anywhere from $1,500 to $5,000 or more per dig up depending on the depth. Since we are able to install patches much quicker than digging up and repair or replacing lines, we were able to eliminate some of the major problem areas and are now in a "proactive" mode, repairing areas of potential problems before they become an emergency repair.
From the smallest cracks or roots to covering active leaks and gaping holes, PipePatch has proven itself durable and more cost effective than any other repair process that we've tried. PipePatch is... Read more ...

PipePatch Cures Sewer System Underneath Michigan Highway

Michigan Department of Transporation

www.michigan.gov

The Michigan Department of Transportation needed a remedy to repair multiple fractures in newly installed concrete pipe. Due to the high strength and thin finish, PipePatch was chosen and approved by MDOT. After post installation inspection of the new Storm Sewer, several locations within the new infrastructure did not pass MDOT’s approval. Instead of tearing out the new highway and newly installed storm sewer, PipePatch is used to cover all defects during the project.

PipePatch Saves Landscaping in Residential Area

Homeowner

City of Pittsburgh, PA

www.city.pittsburgh.pa.us

I originally called Gillece Services to repair a section of a failed sewer lateral. Roots had infiltrated the sewer, resulting in multiple attempts to clean roots and restore flow. Using traditional methods, we would have had to excavate in the street and cut down my favorite Maple Tree. I had additionally installed a new exterior cleanout near my garage and had recently poured a new concrete driveway. Gillece Services suggested PipePatch as an alternative to digging. PipePatch was used to seal off the roots and establish a smooth offset in the pipeline. Source One was onsite to train the contractor and help me understand the entire process and not destroy my yard. In less than 90 minutes the pipe was repaired and the roots were sealed off. I haven't had a problem since!

MacGregor Plumbing & Heating

After using another vendor for sewer line reinstatement, we decided to utilize the PipePatch point repair system instead. The process is simple, straight-forward and completely systematized. PipePatch is a very reasonable solution for our customers with major root problems and older lines. People spend tens of thousands of dollars here on their landscaping. The last thing they want to do is dig it up to replace some bad piping. PipePatch eliminates the need for all that, and best of all it's a win for the customer and a win for MacGregor!

Cincinatti's Metropolitan Sewer District Optimizes Productivity with PipePatch

Maintenance Management

Metropolitan Sewer District of Greater Cincinnati

www.msdgc.org

In looking for a point lining repair solution, it was important for the Metropolitan Sewer District (MSD) of Greater Cincinnati to find a system that proved to be a long term solution once installed, while being cost effective, and allowing MSD’s in‐house crews to perform the work safely. MSD found that PipePatch is an effective tool for repairing sewer pipes. One of the properties of the PipePatch product that caught MSD’s attention is that it adheres to the existing sewer pipe and its strength ensures durability. The PipePatch product also appealed to MSD because of the potential cost savings. It is estimated that a typical repair job with the same dimensions as that of the PipePatch product at an average depth of 11 feet is approximately $3700; this cost includes labor, restoration, material, flowable fill, equipment, and permit. When compared to the PipePatch product, it was estimated that there may be a 65% cost reduction per application since one PipePatch installation costs approximately $1300, which includes labor, material, and equipment.

Not only did MSD find cost effectiveness to be a great benefit but there is an opportunity to optimize productivity. A... Read more ...
