Cured-In-Place Pipe Lining
A resin-saturated liner goes into your damaged pipe through an existing access point and cures into a new, seamless pipe inside the old one. No trench required.
The details, in plain English.
Cured-in-place pipe lining, or CIPP, is the most widely used trenchless way to repair sewer and drain pipes. A flexible liner soaked in resin is pulled or inverted into the host pipe, pressed against its walls and cured with hot water, steam or ultraviolet light. When it hardens, it becomes a structural pipe of its own.
Because the liner is continuous, it seals cracks, leaking joints and small holes, blocks roots from re-entering and leaves a smooth interior that flows well. The work happens through cleanouts and manholes, so yards, driveways and floors stay intact in most projects.
Best for
- Cracked, leaking or root-infested sewer lines
- Pipes under lawns, driveways or slabs
- Old clay, cast iron or Orangeburg lines
- Anyone who wants the repair done in a day

Questions, answered
Is CIPP a permanent fix?
A properly installed liner is designed to last for decades and is widely cited with a 50-year design life. It restores the pipe structurally, not just temporarily.
Does lining make the pipe smaller?
The liner is thin, so the diameter shrinks slightly, but its smooth wall usually moves water as well or better than the old rough pipe.
