FOAM-FILLED PIPE

The foam-filling application method fills the air space above the sewage flow where roots grow. Generally this method is used to foam-fill smaller lines. The foam-filling method allows for some treatment of lateral lines in the process.

The patented foam-coating application method is designed for foam-coating the internal sewer walls of smaller lines which have light root intrusions. It can also be used to coat larger diameter lines that are too closely to treat any other way.
