About MaxLiner - Cured In Place Pipe Contractors

In the late 90’s as the CIPP market was beginning to gain traction in underground infrastructure repair, United Felts (formally Applied Felts, Inc.) and RS Technik – global leaders in Cured-in-Place Pipe (CIPP) technology for decades, recognized the need for a versatile, compact, and affordable way to address the growing demand for a small diameter laterals and vertical pipelining solutions in North America.

Case in Point: Clear Flow Drains, Boston, MA

Jim Mor started Clear Flow Drains, a residential and commercial plumbing business in 2004. In 2005 Boston Water & Sewer was looking for a solution to replace very old laterals without having to continually dig up roads and yards. Clear Flow and Maxliner USA executed three CIPP pilot installations. The City of Boston tested them and approved CIPP as an acceptable pipe rehabilitation method. In the first few years, Clear Flow completed 6-12 projects a year, then, in 2010, the City got serious about cleaning up the Boston Harbor and The Charles River, known as “Dirty Water”. The storm drain that leads to the Harbor and 100-year old sanitary sewer line run parallel. At points where the 100-year old sewer lateral runs over the storm drain, with cement breaking away, there is a great amount of I/I, and lining is saving the day. So, while you still probably don’t want to swim in the river, it is now much cleaner. Clear Flow is now averaging 4-10 CIPPproject installations a month.

“The support we received at the start and still do from MaxLiner USA is a huge part of our success, including keeping all our paperwork up to date, required by the City of Boston. Their system and continual innovations in liners allows us to overcome any hurdle we face with old pipes and cold weather,” said Jim Mor. Clear Flow

Q: Can I effectively line a pipe, such as a drain line, that has a 90-degree bend?

A: Yes. MaxLiner offers several liners to negotiate multiple bends up to 90°. WovoLiner® is a soft, woven, extremely flexible liner that was specifically designed with this scenario in mind. The WovoLiner will effectively negotiate bends with minimal binding or wrinkling, and will also be effective for diameter transitions. Other options are our SuperFlex® and Flex 4D®.

A: Yes. MaxLiner carries a variety of liners which have substantial expansion capabilities to perform well in diameter transition scenarios. Whether you’re looking for a flexible liner to radially expand or a sewn transition liner to precisely hit your mark, we have the solution for you.

Q: How long does it take for MaxLiner’s MaxPox Resins to cure ambiently?

A: There is no exact answer to this question, as there are many different variables involved (i.e. ground temperature, quantity of resin, type of resin, etc.). We can, however, tell you that the timeframe for unassisted curing ranges from 3 to 12 hours.
