Pipe Lining Services

Pipe lining, or sewer lining, is a trenchless method used to repair old or damaged lines. This process is particularly beneficial for replacing backed up, cracked or leaking sewer lines without digging up your yard or sidewalk to access the pipes. While more extensive services for fixing your underground pipes, such as excavation, may be required, experienced plumbing professionals often use pipe lining to stop an issue before it worsens.

The licensed plumbers at Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Oswego County have the extensive knowledge you need and the courtesy you deserve for plumbing maintenance and repair.

Expert Pipe Lining Services

Trenchless pipe lining involves fixing leaks, cracks and gaps in your sewer lines. You may hear this process referred to as:

• Drain pipe lining
• Internal pipe lining
• No-dig sewer lining
• Later sewer line
• Sewer relining
• Sewer pipe relining
• Epoxy pipe lining
• Cured-in-place pipe lining (CIPP Lining)

Sewer pipe lining is completed by inserting a flexible epoxy liner into the damaged pipe. The pipe tubing may also be made of polyester or fiberglass. Because this material is malleable when first inserted, plumbers can easily maneuver it through the fittings and pipes until it is in place.

Then, the epoxy-saturated liner will harden and cure, creating an improved pipe flow and preventing pipe erosion. This service requires minimal to no digging. Additionally, it is less time-consuming because there is no need for extensive restoration or cleanup — which is ideal for busy homeowners.

At Mr. Rooter Plumbing, we offer trenchless pipe lining services for your sewer system. We will target the damaged or aging pipes through a series of steps that include:

• Inspecting the compromised pipes
• Removing debris and blockages from the existing pipes
• Measuring the line
• Preparing the replacement tube
• Saturating the tubing with epoxy-resin
• Inserting the tube into the pipes
• Curing or solidifying the tubing to remove all moisture

Reasons for Pipe Lining Services

Trenchless sewer repair methods like pipe lining may be the optimal choice if there is some damage, but your pipes are otherwise in good condition. For instance, it would be a solution to collapsed pipes or pipelines with joints. Here are some common scenarios where trenchless pipe lining might be necessary.

1. The Structure Is Not Severely Compromised

If your affected pipes are unstable or have collapsed completely, you will likely need excavation services. This is because the liner and coating will not fit properly inside the existing lines, which means they will not cure correctly. Replacing the pipes entirely may be more of a long-term solution. If your pipes are stable enough that they will not move or break, pipe lining can conduct the procedure safely.

Your plumber can determine this during the first step of the pipe lining process, which requires an inspection of your sewer lines with a special camera.

2. The Damage Is Minor

Pipe lining may be a good fit for your plumbing issue if your system has minor damage. Examples of minor damage that may be repaired and prevented with pipe lining services include:

• Leaking
• Breakage due to environmental, temperature or soil changes
• Minimal corrosion
• Cracking or fracturing
• Tree root or animal intrusion
• Missing sections

Your home may also be an ideal candidate for trenchless pipe repair in Oswego if the damage is contained to a small area of the pipes. If the damage is widespread, pipe lining may not be able to fully restore the affected area.

3. You Notice Sudden Changes in Pressure

Sudden low water pressure can indicate a blockage in your pipes, which may mean they have started to corrode or clog. Trenchless lining services can help clear the blockage and restore your water pressure. Alternatively, very high pressure can put stress on your sewage lines and pipes, which could lead to cracks and leaks that pipe lining can fix.

4. Your Old Pipes Are in Good Condition

Though pipe lining may not be the recommended treatment for severe corrosion in some cases, it can be a cost-effective way to stabilize damaged pipes that are otherwise in good shape. Trenchless pipe lining can extend the life of your pipes if they are susceptible to degradation in a limited area.

FAQ About Pipe Lining in Oswego

Sewer line repair can be achieved through several methods, including trenching or excavation. Trenchless pipe lining, however, is ideal for replacing pipes that are not severely damaged or buried too deep in the ground. If you still have questions about this process, we have answered a few common queries below.

1. How Can You Tell if Your Pipes Need to Be Relined?

There is no sure way to tell that pipe lining will fix your plumbing issue without the advice of an experienced professional. At Mr. Rooter Plumbing, we will send our experts to complete a visual inspection of your pipes using a camera. They will assess the cause of your backups, including leaks, cracks, rust or clogging issues. The camera will help our professionals diagnose the condition of your pipes and whether the pipe lining process is necessary.

2. Are Trenchless Solutions Effective?

Yes, trenchless pipe replacement services are safe and effective for specific issues, such as the ones outlined above. This repair method will not interfere with the foundation or landscape on your property as much as other solutions. Because minimal digging is involved, there is little risk of being exposed to hazardous wastes like septic fluid.

If you are unsure about the most cost-effective solution for the long run, be sure to reach out to the friendly and understanding professionals at Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Oswego County.

3. How Long Does Trenchless Pipe Lining Take?

It depends. Though pipe lining requires minimal digging and equipment, it may take an entire day or more to complete the process, depending on the damage.

4. What Else Should You Know About Pipeline Repair?

Pipe lining services are not as costly or disruptive to homeowners. Though the water in your home will need to be turned off while the drain is inflated, your plumbing professionals will restore it at the end of the day. This method allows you to save your existing pipes and prevent more time-consuming methods like complete excavation. Additionally, pipeline repair can be completed using existing access points rather than creating new ones through drywall and other invasive means.
