Sewer Pipe Lining Service | Trenchless Repair Without Digging

Cracked, leaking, or root-filled sewer line? Our trenchless sewer pipe lining restores your pipe from the inside out without tearing up your yard or driveway. Camera verified. Same-day options available.

What Is Sewer Pipe Lining?

Sewer pipe lining, also called CIPP (cured-in-place pipe) lining, is a trenchless repair method that creates a brand-new pipe inside your old one. Instead of digging up the ground, we insert a flexible liner coated with epoxy resin into the damaged pipe. Once cured, it hardens into a seamless, jointless pipe that blocks leaks, resists root intrusion, and restores flow.

The best part? Your original landscaping, driveway, or patio stays intact. Pipe lining extends the life of your sewer system without the mess and cost of traditional excavation.

Signs You May Need Sewer Pipe Lining

Sewer line replacement

Not every clog means you need a new pipe. But certain warning signs suggest damage that lining can solve:

  • Sewer backups happening more often, even after cleaning

  • Cracks, leaks, or offsets found during a camera inspection

  • Root intrusion showing up repeatedly in the same spot

  • Aging clay, cast iron, or Orangeburg pipes breaking down

  • Sewer odors, wet patches, or sinkholes in your yard

  • Persistent slow drains despite professional cleaning

If these sound familiar, lining can give you a new, stronger pipe inside the old one without major digging.

Why Sewer Pipe Lining Works

Traditional pipe replacement is messy and expensive. Lining avoids all that disruption while giving you a pipe that performs like new. Here's why homeowners and businesses choose it:

No digging across your yard

Only one or two small access points needed.

Seamless and jointless

The epoxy liner forms one continuous pipe that resists leaks and root entry.

Long-lasting

Lined pipes typically last 40 to 50 years.

Cost-effective

Faster installation and less cleanup means lower total costs.

Safe for many pipe types

Clay, cast iron, PVC, or Orangeburg can all be lined.

Camera-Verified Proof

We always start with a sewer camera inspection to confirm the issue and measure the pipe. After lining, we run the camera again to show you the restored pipe from end to end. You'll receive a video link for your records so you can see the results for yourself.

Our Sewer Pipe Lining Process

Diagnose

Sewer camera inspection to locate cracks, leaks, and measure the pipe.

Clean

Hydro jetting clears roots, grease, and buildup so the liner bonds properly.

Install Liner

A resin-coated liner is inserted into the old pipe and inflated.

Cure

The liner is cured in place with hot water, steam, or UV light to harden.

Verify

Post-lining camera run confirms a smooth, seamless new pipe inside the old one.

When Sewer Pipe Lining Isn't the Right Choice

Pipe lining is powerful, but not every pipe qualifies. If the line is completely collapsed, missing sections, or has major bellies where water pools, lining may not bond correctly. In those cases, pipe bursting or replacement is the safer option. We'll always give you the right recommendation based on what the camera shows.
