There are many misconceptions about CIPP linings and water migration. Although the myth that CIPP linings bond to the host pipe has largely been discredited, it is still not commonly known that due to the physical properties of thermo-set resins, CIPP liners shrink during polymerization resulting in an annular space between the liner and the host pipe.
