Sewer Lining

Sewer lining is a trenchless repair that restores damaged sewer pipes without extensive excavation. This process seals cracks, open joints and small holes to prevent future root intrusion and leaks. When conditions are right, trenchless sewer lining rehabilitates existing pipe while minimizing disruption to your yard, driveway and landscaping.

Why Choose Sewer Lining?

Sewer lining repairs sewer lines from inside the existing pipe to reduce disruption and avoid costly surface restoration.

Sewer lining is used to:

Seal Leaking Joints

Stop Root Intrusion

Prevent Groundwater Infiltration

Repair Minor Cracks and Holes

Extend the Life of an Existing Sewer Line

When Is Sewer Lining the Right Solution?

Sewer lining works best when the existing pipe is structurally sound and maintains its original shape. It is often an excellent choice for:

  • Clay sewer pipe
  • Cast iron sewer pipe
  • Concrete sewer pipe
  • Some PVC sewer lines

Trenchless lining is beneficial when excavation would be expensive or impractical, such as beneath:

  • Driveways
  • Sidewalks
  • Patios
  • Mature landscaping
  • Streets and highways
  • Swimming pools
  • Other underground utilities

When Sewer Lining Isn't Recommended

While sewer lining solves many problems, it isn’t right for every situation. A traditional repair or replacement may be necessary if your sewer line has:

  • A collapsed pipe
  • Major pipe separation or offsets
  • Long sections of missing pipe
  • Significant pipe bellies (low (settled) spots)
  • Severe structural damage

A sewer camera inspection determines the best repair method before work begins.

What to Expect

1

Camera Inspection:
We inspect your sewer line to see if trenchless lining is appropriate.

2

Prepare the Pipe:
We professionally clean the sewer line to remove roots, grease and debris.

3

Install the Liner:
We insert a resin-saturated liner through an existing cleanout or manhole and position it inside the damaged pipe.

4

Cure & Inspect:
Once the liner hardens, we perform a final camera inspection to verify the repair and restore reliable flow.
