What is Trenchless Pipe Lining and How Does it Work?

After arriving at your home, our technician will assess your existing piping to see what they are working with. They will diagnose any issues, judge the condition of your pipes, and determine the best way forward. If trenchless pipelining is suitable, they will prepare the area.
Cured-in-place pipe lining (CIPP) works by coating a flexible liner with epoxy resin. Our technicians will then insert this liner into your existing pipes before inflating it. The resin is then cured, at which point it hardens into a new pipe. Essentially, it creates a new pipe within the old one.
Once the new pipe is installed, our technicians will perform a series of checks to make sure it is fully functional. They will then clean up after themselves. We follow the Neighborly Done Right Promise® at Mr. Rooter®, so if you’re not happy with the work that we do, you just need to call us, and we’ll return to fix things.

When Do You Need Sewer Pipe Lining?

There are a few scenarios in which you may need sewer pipe lining. Multiple cracks and frequent leaks are the most common and may indicate aging pipes that need to be replaced.

Root intrusions are another common cause. They occur when tree roots snake into your pipes through cracks, searching for moisture. As they spread, they may cause blockages and further damage.

We also see many instances where pipes have deteriorated, but the overall system is still strong and functional. In such cases, pipe lining can fix those pipes and get the whole system back up and running.

Whatever the cause, if you need trenchless sewer pipe lining in Portsmouth, VA, contact Mr. Rooter®.

When Pipe Lining Isn’t Suitable

We offer trenchless sewer repair across Portsmouth, VA, and can offer these services to most residents in most of the city’s homes. However, there are times when it’s not suitable, and we may need to resort to excavation.

For example, if your pipes are heavily damaged, collapsed, or significantly misaligned, trenchless sewer repair may not be viable.

As part of our sewer pipe lining in Portsmouth, VA, we always conduct an initial assessment and diagnosis. That way, we know exactly what we’re working with and can see if your pipes are suitable for pipe lining.

How Does Pipe Lining Compare to Excavation?

Both pipe lining and excavation are effective ways of fixing and replacing sewer lines, but they differ in their approach.

With excavation, we need to dig trenches to remove and replace your pipes. It can be long and messy, and if you have a perfectly manicured yard or a recently laid driveway, it can be devastating.

We don’t need to dig trenches with sewer pipe lining. There will be very little digging and minimal mess, but we’ll still get the job done. Both options will give you new pipes that can last for decades, but the total cost, timeframe, and cleanup can differ greatly.
