When an Emergency Turns Into a Crisis, Who Do You Turn To?
Imagine that your company just repaved their entire parking lot, and you’ve just now found out that the drains underneath are irreparably damaged. You have to have them replaced, which means digging up the brand-new driveway. The thought alone is enough to make anyone wince: not only would you be paying to replace the underground drains, but also re-paying for the same driveway work—not to mention having to shut down the buildings and lose revenue because no one will be able to park or use the water! You don’t have to be an accountant to see the trend here: time and money essentially thrown away.
This is a true story. Or it would have been, if they hadn’t called Zoom.
We couldn’t make this stuff up! Just when a local company, BPG, paved their entire parking lot, they got the news that their 150-foot, 8” main line needed serious repair. This line traveled underneath the driveway and part of a concrete walkway between two buildings. Conventional pipe replacement is the obvious contender; however, they had heard of Zoom’s Trenchless Pipe Relining. We sent our System Engineer to survey the property, and he gave them the scoop:
Using the latest technology, we can reline the entire 8” main line in two nights. You won’t have to shut down operation because we’ll come out after your business hours have ended. You won’t need to repave the driveway; we’ll only dig two small holes, and you will barely notice that we were here when we’re finished.
Let’s take a look at the breakdown:

Zoom has the right people with highly advanced skills backing up our state-of-the-art technology, so they were able to take the repair one step further by reinstating two lateral lines without digging by drilling holes into the reliner apoxy.
We can’t take all the credit, though. Yes, we saved them tens of thousands of dollars in pipe, driveway, and walkway repair. Yes, we performed all of the work at night so that their business could continue uninterrupted. Yes, we left the property almost completely unscathed by the repair. But the maintenance coordinators at BPG deserves the most credit:
They made the call that ultimately saved them countless hours and dollars.
Is your company a candidate for trenchless pipe relining? We have a wealth of information available to you online, but we can offer one better: give us a call and we’ll send a System Engineer to see your property and give you all of your options.
Many commercial properties end up wasting time and money over a drain crisis that could’ve been solved at a fraction of the cost by trenchless technology.
