Repiping & Epoxy Pipe Lining Services

Epoxy pipe lining, also known as pipe relining, is a trenchless pipe rehabilitation method designed to restore the interior of an existing sewer or drain pipe without excavating and replacing the entire pipeline. Rather than removing the original pipe, a specialized lining system is installed or applied inside the existing pipe to create a new, continuous interior surface.

The process begins with a sewer camera inspection to identify cracks, corrosion, separated joints, root intrusion, buildup, and other damage. Before lining can begin, the existing pipe must be thoroughly cleaned and prepared so the lining material can properly adhere or fit against the pipe walls.

Depending on the lining system selected, the installation may involve a flexible tube saturated with epoxy resin that is inserted or inverted into the existing pipeline and expanded against its interior walls. The resin is then cured under controlled conditions, forming a hardened, seamless liner within the original pipe. Other epoxy systems use specialized equipment to apply a protective coating directly to the prepared interior pipe surface.

Once the lining has cured, the finished system is inspected to evaluate the installation and verify that connections and drainage pathways are functioning properly. When the existing pipe is suitable for rehabilitation, this trenchless approach can help restore structural integrity, seal qualifying cracks and leaking joints, reduce opportunities for root intrusion, and extend the useful service life of the pipeline.

One of the biggest advantages of epoxy pipe lining is the potential to avoid extensive excavation through concrete slabs, driveways, patios, walkways, and established landscaping. Access openings may still be necessary, depending on the pipe configuration and lining method. It is not the right solution for every pipe, particularly severely collapsed or obstructed lines, which is why a professional sewer camera inspection and evaluation are essential before recommending this repair.
