Why should I line my pipes instead of replacing them?

Our trenchless process eliminates the mess and cost of traditional dig methods by not disrupting your property. It provides a long-lasting, durable solution that is guaranteed to last for years to come and that will not crack, rust or allow tree roots in. Our process is usually completed within a day. Your sewer line will be completely functional when we leave your home. Lastly, our process can save you thousands of dollars because it eliminates the cleanup and restoration costs that usually result after a traditional dig.

Will sewer lining prevent roots from entering my sewer?

Yes! Our liner creates brand new pipes within your old ones, sealing away cracks, holes and joints where tree roots often make their way in, thus preventing new root growth.

Will lining cause a reduction in flow rate through my pipes?

No. Lining your sewer will actually make the water flow more efficiently through your pipes as the liner restores broken and deteriorated pipe by creating a smoother surface for the water to travel through.

How much does sewer lining cost?

The cost of lining depends on factors such as the length of line to be repaired and the size and accessibility of the pipes. In most cases, our sewer lining costs are considerably less than traditional dig and replace repair methods because the costs to restore surroundings after digging are eliminated.

Does sewer lining have to meet any certain standards?

Yes. Our lining product meets or exceeds all ASTM standards for pipe lining

What is the life expectancy of the liner?

Our liner is long lasting and we provide a 50-year warranty on it.

How long can I expect to be without service during the installation process?

You will be able to use your facilities until just before the liner is installed in the sewer line. The installation and curing process typically takes between 3-4 hours. Once the curing process is complete and the installation is verified by our cameras, you’re able to immediately use your facilities once again.

What types of pipes can be lined?

Most any type of pipe can be lined, including clay, cast iron, PVC, ductile iron and concrete.

Is it possible to install the liner through an existing stack or cleanout?

Yes, the liner can be installed through a four-inch floor cleanout or other existing outside cleanout

Can a pipe with holes or missing pieces still be lined without digging?

Yes, even pipes with large holes or voids can be lined without the need to dig.

Is it possible to perform spot repairs anywhere in the sewer line instead of lining my entire sewer?

Yes, one of the major advantages Trenchless Innovations offers is our ability to tailor your sewer repair to your needs. We can do repairs anywhere in your system – from one foot to the entire length of the line.

My sewer line transitions from 4" cast iron to 6" clay piping. Is lining possible?

Our lining system and materials allow us to make a seamless transition between 4” and 6” connections without any additional set-ups.

Can a sewer with multiple elbows be lined?

Yes. Our liner is flexible and therefore, can make multiple bends.
