Pipe Lining: No Dig Sewer and Drain Repair

What Is Pipe Lining?

Pipe lining, also known as Cured-In-Place Pipe (CIPP) lining, is a trenchless repair method that creates a new pipe within your existing damaged pipe. This innovative technology involves inserting a resin-saturated liner into the damaged pipe, inflating it, and allowing it to cure and harden. The result is a seamless, durable new pipe that can extend the life of your plumbing system by 50+ years.

The Evolution of Pipe Repair

Pipe lining technology emerged in the 1970s as engineers sought less invasive alternatives to traditional dig-and-replace methods. Over the decades, the materials and techniques have been refined, making today’s pipe lining solutions stronger, more reliable, and suitable for a wider range of applications. This revolutionary approach has transformed the plumbing industry by significantly reducing the disruption, time, and cost associated with pipe repairs.

Final inspection We run the sewer camera down the drain again to ensure the drain is nice and smooth. This is why they also call this process CIPP or Cured-in-place-pipe. Be sure to ask your plumber for a copy of the sewer inspection. It is good to have if you ever decide to sell your home.

A trench with a main line sewer drain and a new ABS pipe sitting next to it, where it is about to be installed. After pipe lining the drain, there is some epoxy resin runoff coming outside of the pipe.

Looking at the image, you can see a blue-colored liner extending from the drain on the left side. This is the new resin epoxy drain we created inside this customer’s mainline sewer pipe. This section of the pipe had completely corroded and needed replacement. We used this spot to access and reline the entire sewer drain, then replaced the damaged section. With our trenchless sewer repair technology, we prevented similar damage from happening to the other 34 feet of cast iron pipe running under the sidewalk and street. Many San Diego homeowners don’t know that even though these pipes might extend beyond their property line, they’re still responsible for them all the way to the city sewer connection point. This case shows why pipe lining is such a popular choice for drain repair in San Diego. If this pipe had broken further down the line, the homeowner would have faced expensive sidewalk or street excavation. By using pipe lining from their yard to the city sewer, the homeowner avoided future plumbing emergencies and saved thousands in potential repair costs.

Pipe Lining Costs in San Diego

Pipe lining represents an investment in your property’s infrastructure, with costs reflecting the complexity and scope of the project. While pricing varies based on specific circumstances, here’s what San Diego property owners can generally expect:

Residential pipe lining: Typically ranges from $3,500 to $12,000, depending on length and diameter
Spot repairs: For isolated issues, costs start around $1,800-$3,000
