How does Cured in Place Pipe (CIPP) lining work?

Cured-in-Place Pipe (CIPP) lining is a means of repairing damaged pipes without any excavation in many cases and substantially less excavation in many other cases. There are times when traditional excavation is required; but with today’s sewer technology, trenchless is almost always the preferred option.

Lining your pipes is a cost-effective way to repair the damage, without the costs and disturbances of excavation. We can enter the sewer system through existing ports of egress and complete most work from above the ground.

By combining a specially designed fabric liner, the right mixture of chemical ingredients, the right temperature water, and the right amount of air pressure, the fabric liner hardens to a solid pipe. It forms itself to the existing pipe while filling holes and sealing gaps and cracks.

The end result is that the lined pipe has been upgraded with a 50-year structural liner that has replaced the existing pipe without any excavation!
