Trenchless Sewer Repair in Pittsburgh, PA
Pipe lining service is a type of sewer repair that creates a seamless new pipe inside your existing damaged line without disruption to your lawn and landscaping.
What is Pipe Lining?
Pipe lining is also referred to as Cured-In-Place Pipe (CIPP). CIPP is a trenchless method that repairs damaged sewer lines by creating a new pipe inside the existing one. A flexible liner is saturated with a special resin. It is then inserted into the old pipe and using heat is cured to form a solid, durable inner pipe.
The lining resolves issues around cracks, leaks, root intrusions, and corrosion. CIPP provides you with a new pipe without the mess of traditional excavation.

How it Differs from Traditional Repair
Traditional sewer line repair requires digging a trench the entire length of the pipe for access and repair or replacement. The traditional method destroys driveways, sidewalks, landscaping, and lawns in may cases. The excavation alone could take several days. The restoration work (such as repaving and replanting) can take even longer and could cost more than the pipe repair.
Pipe lining avoids the mess and the added expense. Our team accesses your pipe through existing access points. We insert the liner, cure it in place, inspect, and the job is completed. Your yard stays intact, and the new lined pipe can last 50 or more years.

When is Pipe-Lining the Right Choice?
Pipe lining is ideal for pipes that are damaged but still structurally sound. It is perfect for repairing the following:
- Cracks - Cracks in a sewer line can allow groundwater and waste to escape. Cracks may be caused by age, soil movement, or root intrusion.
- Leaking joints - Seals can deteriorate over time, causing leaks that lead to soggy yards and higher water bills. This happens where pipe sections connect.
- Root intrusion - Tree roots are naturally attracted to the moisture in sewer lines and may create blockages after they have broken through the pipe.
- Corroded pipes - Older pipes made of clay may corrode and deteriorate over time. Deterioration causes them to lose structural integrity.
- Misaligned connections - If pipe sections have shifted slightly but are still in place, lining can bridge the gap and restore a smooth flow.
If your pipe has completely collapsed or is severely broken with significant gaps, pipe lining is not the best solution. Our camera inspection will determine whether lining is appropriate in your situation.
