When Grout’s Not Enough, Fix Defects and Infiltration With Quick-Lock

In sewers, structural defects and groundwater infiltration go hand-in-hand. Fixing one means fixing both. Too often, active infiltration disqualifies grout and CIPP methods, and grout is unable to restore structural integrity. The Quick-Lock point repair sleeve offers an alternative.

For standalone point repair — or for pre-lining under high infiltration — the Quick-Lock sleeve offers a fast, economical and easy way to fix failing pipes. It restores strength with heavy-gauge 316L stainless steel and seals out infiltration with a one-piece vulcanized EPDM rubber gasket. Suitable for sewer, water and industrial applications, Quick-Lock installs in minutes and boasts a service life equivalent to CIPP.

Easy installation

To install Quick-Lock, use your CCTV crawler to push the sleeve into place on a wheeled flow-through packer. Once in position, the packer expands and locks the sleeve against the pipe wall to provide structural reinforcement and stop infiltration.

Quick-Lock sleeves address a variety of common pipe problems, including infiltration, longitudinal and circumferential cracks, root intrusion, holes, leaks, offset joints, and abandoned laterals. They come in diameters ranging 6 to 28 inches. Multiple sleeves can be combined to perform longer repairs.

Unlike grout and CIPP point repair, Quick-Lock installs rapidly — often in under 30 minutes — with minimal training and investment. It requires no bypass pumping, resin or digging. Many cities stock Quick-Lock sleeves as an affordable way to address infiltration and localized defects on an as-needed basis.
