Key takeaways
- Full lining repairs a whole run.
- Point repair fixes a single section.
- Pipe bursting replaces failed pipe.
- The right method depends on the camera findings.
Full-length lining
Best when damage is spread along the pipe or when joints are failing in several places. One continuous liner covers everything.
Point repair
A short liner patches one defect such as a crack or offset. It costs less and is a good fit when the rest of the pipe is sound.
Pipe bursting
For collapsed or heavily deformed pipe. A new pipe is pulled through as the old one is broken, using small entry and exit pits.
Choosing
Let the camera decide. A trustworthy contractor will explain the options and show you the footage that supports the recommendation.
