Reply to comment by jpr64 in Widely used sewer pipe repair technology creates and emits nanoplastics into the air by ajwhelton

Do you know what the common repair technique is they're talking about? I'm guessing it involves heat and is done while water is still in the pipe.

Cast in place lining. There’s a few methodologies about using plastics, fibreglass etc. Typically you would put in a bung upstream to stop water/waste flowing down in the process.
