  • Systems and methods for repairing piping
    Patent number: 11725766
    Abstract: A method for sealing a liquid leak in a pipe. The method may include wrapping a circumference of the pipe with a gasket material at a location of the leak to create an annular cavity between the gasket material and the pipe. The method may also include allowing the leaking liquid to exit from the annular cavity. The method may further include securing the gasket material to the pipe. The method may also include injecting an expandable grout into the annular cavity between the pipe and the gasket material. The method may further include allowing the grout to expand upon contact with the leaking liquid to create a seal around the leak. The method may also include adhering a reinforcement material to the gasket material and the pipe to reinforce the gasket material and the pipe at the location of the leak.
