Drain Line Lining
Cracked or corroded drains inside buildings can be relined in place, without breaking up floors or opening walls.
The details, in plain English.
Drain lines run under floors and inside walls, so the old fix was to jackhammer slabs and open ceilings. That means days of demolition, dust and displaced occupants.
Drain line lining uses small access points to install a liner through the existing pipe, curing it into a smooth new surface. It is common for cast iron building drains, under-slab lines and branch lines that are cracked, corroded or rough enough to snag waste.
Best for
- Buildings with corroded cast iron drains
- Under-slab drains
- Apartments and offices that cannot be closed
- Lines with recurring clogs

Questions, answered
Can you line pipes with bends?
Yes. Liners handle bends and tees within limits that depend on diameter. The inspection confirms what is possible.
Will fixtures need to be removed?
Sometimes a toilet or access plug is removed for access, then reinstalled.
