Offset Joint Repair
Where two pipe sections drift out of line, waste catches, roots enter and leaks start. Lining can bridge moderate offsets and seal them.
The details, in plain English.
Soil settles, trees push and heavy loads shift pipes, leaving joints stepped and gapped. The step snags paper and debris, while the gap lets in roots and groundwater.
A liner spans the joint, smoothing the transition and sealing the gap. Moderate offsets are handled well by lining, and severe offsets may need a short dig or a point repair first. The camera shows the offset so we can say what is realistic.

Questions, answered
How much offset can a liner handle?
Moderate offsets are routinely bridged. The limit depends on diameter and liner design, and the camera lets us judge it.
What if the offset is too big?
We can combine a short excavation with lining the rest, and we price both.
How do I get a price?
Fill in the form or call 800-224-9245. We schedule a free camera inspection, show you the footage and send a written estimate.
How long does it take?
Most home repairs are finished in about a day. Longer runs, commercial lines and complex sites take longer, and we give you the schedule before we start.
