No-Dig Sewer Lining.
When your sewer is compromised by roots, cracks, or soon-to-be collapse, a sewer liner is a perfect option to prevent further damage and give your sewer line a new life. Sewer lining is not a temporary fix but a permanent solution that will provide 25+ years of service.
Process
To install a No-Dig sewer Lining, a soft lay flat tube, impregnated with epoxy resin, is inserted in the existing sewer pipe. It is then inflated and cured in place to create a new hard plastic Pipe insert, renewing the sewer line for 25+ years.
Timeline
Most installations take less than 1 day to complete. The average time onsite to install is 4-5 hours.
When can I use my sewer again?
Typical installations require the homeowners not to use there sewer for about 1-2 hours. Once the liner is installed and cured, and we have finished our work, homeowners can use the sewer with no restrictions.
FAQs
-
The material is made from a needle-punched, felt material coated with either a PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) or PU (Polyurethane) coating. This material is sewn into a lay flat tube. A liquid resin, such as epoxy, is poured inside the tube and the material is run through a pinch clamp with a conveyer belt to push the resin into the felt. Once the resin is saturated in the felt, and evenly distributed, it is ready to installation.

When we arrive, we televise the sewer line to determine the length of the sewer to be lined. We mark the camera with the appropriate lengths for each size of pipe and then take our camera outside and transfer those measurements onto the lining material. After mixing the appropriate amount of resin and pouring it inside of the liner material, we run the material through our wet out table (conveyer belt with a pinch clamp) which distributes the resin evenly throughout the liner. We then take the material and load it into a air chamber with a drum inside. This drum/air chamber has a nozzle on the front, which the liner material is run through. Pressure is applied to this air chamber which causes the liner material to shoot out of the nozzle inside out (like taking your sock off) and invert through itself down the sewer pipe to the end. The felt, impregnated with resin, now is on the outside pushing against the existing old piping and the smooth coating is now on the inside of the pipe. A bladder is then inserted down inside the liner material to keep it pushed out against the old piping. This bladder is inverted, just like the liner, until it passes the end of the liner into the city main. Air pressure and steam are introduced into this bladder, which heats up the resin and causes it to flash from a liquid to a solid. The final step is to cool down the liner material and remove the bladder, leaving the Cured In Place liner material, creating a renewed piping.
