Trenchless Sewer Repair
Trenchless sewer repair (also known as Cured in Place Pipe, CIPP pipe lining and trenchless piping) performed by certified pipe liners, is the preferred method of sewer repair for cracked and collapsed sewer pipes for residential and commercial properties.
Sewer lateral lining repair saves property owners time and money, using energy-efficient, environmentally-friendly no-dig technology that eliminates the need for costly excavation damage and infrastructure repair.

Cast iron sewer line repair
Sewer lines (also called sewer drains) are pipes that connect your home or business to your municipal sewer system or a septic tank. When a sewer pipe is compromised due to corrosion, or fails due to a blocked or broken section, sewage backup often occurs, requiring sewer line repair or replacement.
Types of Sewer Drain Pipes
Modern sewer lines are typically made of plastic such as SDR schedule 35 PVC, or polyvinyl chloride (PVC pipe), while traditional sewer drains were often made of cast iron or clay.
Cast iron sewer pipes can fail and leak due to corrosion.
Clay sewer pipes can crack or break due to their brittle nature and method of installation.
All types of drain pipes are subject to blockages that necessitate repair or replacement to avert sewer backup damage that can adversely affect your health and your property.
Factors that Affect Sewer Line Costs
Sewer line repair costs vary depending on the extent and location of pipe damage, and repair method used.
The initial step in sewer line repair is inspection, whereby a camera is attached to a pipe snake and inserted into the pipe to identify and record the pipe’s condition.
Depending on the location and cause of the blockage, repair solutions typically include sewer drain cleaning, replacement or spot repairs of damaged sections of sewer pipe, prior to installing a patented Perma-Liner™ CIPP pipe repair system.
How Trenchless Sewer Repair Works
-
- A certified Perma-Liner™ installation specialist creates a small hole to access the area in need of repair
- A flexible tube, coated with epoxy resin, is air-inverted into the pipe
- The resin completely coats the surface area inside of damaged sewer pipe, to reline it
- As the resin hardens, it creates a seamless, jointless, corrosion-resistant “pipe within a pipe”
- When added to a structurally-sound pipe, the newly-rehabilitated, relined and sealed pipe is as durable and reliable as a new sewer line
