If your sewer inspection has revealed cracks, leaks, or deterioration, sewer lining may be an option.
Call to schedule an evaluation and determine whether trenchless repair is right for your property.

When a sewer pipe is cracked, leaking, or deteriorating, full excavation isn’t always the only option.
Sewer lining is a trenchless repair method that restores structural integrity to an existing pipe without removing and replacing the entire line.
In the right conditions, it allows us to reinforce the pipe from the inside and restore reliable flow with minimal disruption to your property.
Sewer lining, often called cured-in-place pipe (CIPP), is a trenchless repair process that creates a new pipe inside the existing one.
A flexible liner saturated with resin is inserted into the damaged pipe. Once positioned, it is cured in place, forming a smooth, durable inner layer that seals cracks and prevents leaks.
The result is a structurally reinforced pipe without the need for full excavation.
Sewer lining reinforces the existing pipe from the inside.
Sewer repiping removes the existing pipe and installs new ABS piping.
Lining is often used when the pipe is damaged but still structurally sound. Repiping is required when the pipe has failed structurally or cannot support a liner.
We review inspection findings carefully and explain which option makes the most sense for the condition of your sewer system.
Sewer lining may be appropriate when:
If the pipe is severely collapsed, offset, or deteriorated beyond repair, replacement may be necessary instead.
The goal is to restore reliability while minimizing impact to your property.
The process typically includes:
Every system is evaluated individually before determining if lining is appropriate.
When installed properly in an eligible pipe, sewer lining provides a long-lasting structural repair.
The liner creates a slightly smaller internal diameter, but the smooth surface often improves flow compared to a cracked or corroded pipe.
No. Severely collapsed or misaligned pipes may require replacement. A camera inspection determines eligibility.
Yes. Because excavation is limited, landscaping and hardscape are typically preserved when lining is appropriate.
Most residential sewer lining projects are completed within one to two days, depending on system condition.
We begin by reviewing your symptoms or inspection results.
If needed, we perform a sewer camera inspection to determine whether lining is appropriate.
We explain the condition of the pipe clearly and review whether sewer lining, repair, or replacement makes the most sense.
