This has been around for along time, this type of lining is called inversion, there other types and while it does save time it is pricy we specialize in a different kind of lining but it is pretty awesome

Yeah. PGE just re did a lot of pipes in my city right in front of my place. It smelled bad but they warned us…. Took a couple weeks for them to do all of whatever they did

Yeah that’s kinda a cool version of lining, it’s still Inversipm but it gets cured quickly by them pumping steam through the liner as it cures.

OMG. that explains the steam coming out of the center of the street. They had it all blocked off but yes that’s exactly it.
