When your home is suffering from a failing sewer system, trenchless pipe lining is a proven alternative to traditional pipe replacement. This innovative technology has been growing in popularity among plumbers and drain cleaners due to the practical solutions it offers their customers. Instead of disruptive and costly excavations, trenchless pipe lining allows professionals to repair pipes from the inside, completing the job faster with minimal mess or hassle. However, while pipe lining has been around for a long time, many installers are new to the field.
Unfortunately, not all manufacturers ensure their products are used correctly. Some CIPP material manufacturers simply sell their products without providing training or instructions on proper installation, leaving contractors to figure out the process on their own. This can lead to inconsistent application, failed installations, and costly mistakes for property owners. Without proper training, contractors may not understand how to prepare the pipes, mix resins correctly, or cure the liner properly, all of which are critical to a successful installation. Choosing a contractor who has received certified training ensures the job is done right the first time, preventing unnecessary repairs and ensuring long-term reliability.
That is why NuFlow is different. We have developed a certification system for every one of our installers to ensure they know how to properly use our products. Every time a contractor signs up to purchase our materials, we provide comprehensive training because we know how important proper installation is. With NuFlow, you can trust that our Certified Contractors have the skills and knowledge to get the job done right. That’s why selecting a NuFlow Certified Contractor is a decision that ensures expertise, reliability, and peace of mind. The NuFlow Certified Contractor logo isn’t just a logo—it signifies an investment in continuing education, training, customer satisfaction, and a long-term commitment to being the best pipe lining installers possible.
The Risks of an Incorrectly Installed Liner
Pipe lining is a highly effective solution for restoring failing plumbing systems, but its success depends on proper installation. When hiring a contractor for any plumbing work, proper installation is crucial to avoid costly issues down the line. Poor workmanship can lead to blockages, leaks, and structural damage, all of which may require expensive repairs. Misaligned or improperly measured materials can obstruct water flow or fail to create a watertight seal, causing ongoing problems. In some cases, fixing mistakes requires specialized tools or additional labor, leading to delays and extra costs.
Many pipe lining companies sell products and equipment but fail to provide the necessary training for their installers. This lack of standardization and expertise often results in inconsistent installations and dissatisfied customers. That’s where NuFlow stands apart.
