How LightRay Benefits Hamilton Homeowners
- Less clutter at home – Unlike traditional pipe replacementLightRay is trenchless, meaning there is no need to dig into lawns, driveways or finished basements. The renovation takes place underground, leaving your home and yard intact.
- Expedited pipe repair – The UV curing process is activated only when the liner is in place, reducing repair time from days to hours and reducing stress for families.
- Long lasting results – Once cured, the liner forms a seamless, corrosion-resistant new pipe inside the old pipe, providing a strong, long-lasting seal that helps prevent future leaks and costly water damage and, most importantly, prevents roots!
