Cracked Pipe Repair
Longitudinal, circumferential and hairline cracks let roots in and wastewater out. Lining seals them from the inside, without a trench.
The details, in plain English.
Pipes crack from age, ground movement, heavy loads, freeze-thaw and shifting soil. A crack lets groundwater in, wastewater out and roots through, and it only gets worse.
CIPP lining covers cracks with a continuous resin liner that bonds to the pipe wall. Single cracks can be sealed with a point repair, while widespread cracking calls for a full-length liner. A camera inspection decides which.

Questions, answered
Can a hairline crack be ignored?
Small cracks grow and let roots in. A camera inspection tells you whether it needs repair now or can be watched.
Will the liner crack too?
The liner is a flexible, jointless pipe designed to handle normal ground movement, and it is not subject to the same joint failures.
