Point Repair, Localized CIPP
One bad section does not always need a whole-line liner. A spot repair reinforces just the damaged length of the pipe.
The details, in plain English.
Sometimes the camera shows a pipe that is sound except for one trouble spot: a crack, a failed joint or a short root-damaged section. Relining the entire run would be more than the pipe needs.
A point repair, also called a spot repair or sectional liner, installs a short resin-saturated liner over the damaged length and cures it in place. It seals the defect with a structural sleeve at a fraction of the cost of lining the full line.
Best for
- A single crack or joint defect
- Short root-damaged sections
- Budget-conscious repairs

Questions, answered
How do I know if I need a point repair or a full liner?
The camera tells us. A few isolated defects suit point repairs, while widespread cracking or many bad joints call for a full-length liner.
Can a point repair fail somewhere else?
The rest of the pipe is unchanged, so a different weak spot can show up later. That is why we camera the whole line and tell you what we see.
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.
