I'm exploring my possibilities in a skimmer line leak repair. Most of what I see points towards digging things up and doing it the traditional way, but I have a large concrete sidewalk and that is not the most ideal way to do it.
I see mentions online of trenchless CIPP (cured in place pipe) repairs:
PipePatch Point Repair CIPP Trenchless Pipe Repair | Fernco - Canada
WHY IS LINING YOUR POOL DRAIN PIPES A BETTER OPTION?
Pool Pipe Repairs Under Swimming Pools | Nuflow
... the list of links can go on. It doesn't look like a scam - there are reputable commercial organizations who use this as a form of repair as well.
Is there a reason why no one talks about it? It seems like a solid method of pipe repair since epoxy is often used in plastics repair anyway (epoxy putty in skimmers, main drains, etc). Isn't this an alternative method for those who do not have easy access to underneath their pool deck?
Love to hear thoughts on this...
