The Pipe Lining Process

Our trenchless process is designed to repair sewer lines quickly and effectively:

  1. Inspection – A video camera inspection of the length of the pipe identifies cracks, corrosion, or intrusions.
  2. Cleaning – Pipes are descaled and cleared of debris to allow for proper adhesion of the new liner.
  3. Lining Installation – A resin-saturated liner is inserted and inflated to form a seamless new interior pipe inside the old pipe.
  4. Curing – Heat or UV light cures the liner in place, creating a durable new pipe that is impervious to root intrusion and will provide reliable service for decades to come.
  5. Final Inspection – We confirm structural integrity and restored flow.

This cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) method avoids digging up landscaping, sidewalks, and driveways while extending the lifespan of your sewer system.

Pipe Lining and Relining Services

We provide complete trenchless solutions tailored to your needs. The terms “Pipe Lining,” and “Pipe Relining” mean the same thing:

  • Sewer Pipe Lining (CIPP) – Restores cracked, leaking, or corroded drain and sewer pipes to new condition.
  • Pipe Relining – Adds structural reinforcement to aging pipes.
  • Pipe Bursting – Replaces collapsed or severely damaged pipes by hydraulic power to pull a seamless new pipe through the path of the original pipe, while breaking away the old pipe in the process. 
  • Camera Inspections & Descaling – Ensures accurate diagnosis and long-term performance.

Whether you need repair, reinforcement, or full replacement, Roto-Rooter has the right solution.

Pipe Lining vs. Replacement: How to Know What’s Right for You

Pipe Lining is ideal when:

  • Pipes are structurally sound but leaking or cracked.
  • You want a cost-effective, trenchless repair.
  • Preserving landscaping and infrastructure is a priority.

Replacement (Pipe Bursting) is best when:

  • Pipes are collapsed, misaligned, or beyond repair.
  • A full structural upgrade is required.
  • A larger pipe diameter is needed for capacity.

Our experts will guide you through pipe bursting vs. pipe lining so you can make the best choice for your property.

We had a bad backup from our house all the way to the street to the manhole and another block out to the main street sewer system. They advised us to call city emergency services because it was a city problem. That guidance enabled us to get the problem resolved quickly - same day. Great service!!! Thank you! Wayne H

Always great service! The technician was very knowledgeable, efficient, and helpful in fixing our backed up sewer line. Price is reasonable too. This was my second time using Roto-Rooter for a plumbing emergency and they will continue to be my go-to. Meredith G

I called with an emergency with my main sewer pipe clogged. I had had it cleared twice in five days by another plumber. Amir was at my house in 3 hours, when they said he would be there, he was professional and did a very thorough job. When he was done I no longer had to worry about my pipes being clogged again. There was no mess left behind. Amir explained what he had done and answered my questions! joani j

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the disadvantages of pipe relining?

Disadvantages include higher upfront costs compared to excavation spot repairs, limited suitability for pipes with severe collapses or missing sections, and the need for proper descaling, cleaning and inspection of the original pipe before relining can be completed. Always consult an experienced pipe lining specialist to assess your drainage system.

Is pipe relining worth it?

Yes, pipe relining is worth it. It’s less invasive, faster, and because it prevents most collateral damage to landscaping, sidewalks, driveways, and trees, it is more cost-effective than traditional excavation for pipe replacement. When done by licensed professionals, pipe relining can extend the life of your pipes by 50 years or more.

What is pipe lining?

Pipe lining, also known as trenchless pipe relining, or cured-in-place piping, is a method of repairing damaged pipes by inserting a flexible resin-coated liner that hardens in place to form a brand new pipe inside the original. It restores pipe integrity without the need for full excavation, making it ideal for sewer and drain line repairs.
