Trenchless Pipe Lining Services
Trenchless Pipe Lining | No-Dig Sewer Repair
Trenchless pipe lining is a no-dig sewer repair solution that restores damaged sewer and drain lines without tearing up landscaping, concrete, flooring, or other property surfaces.
At Total Drain Solutions, we use advanced cured-in-place pipe, or CIPP, technology to repair cracked, corroded, root-damaged, or aging underground pipes with minimal disruption. This trenchless technology creates a durable new liner inside the existing pipe, helping restore flow and structural integrity without full excavation.
If you’re dealing with recurring backups, slow drains, sewer odors, or older pipe materials, pipe lining may offer a long-term repair option for your property.
What Is Trenchless Pipe Lining?
Trenchless pipe lining repairs pipes from the inside. A flexible liner coated with resin is inserted into the damaged pipe, positioned against the pipe walls, and cured in place.
Once hardened, the liner forms a smooth, seamless inner pipe that helps seal cracks, prevent root intrusion, improve flow, and restore structural integrity. This process is often used when the existing pipe is damaged but still stable enough to support a liner.
Once hardened, the liner creates a seamless, durable inner pipe that:
- Seals cracks
- Prevents root intrusion
- Restores structural integrity
All without excavation.
When Is Trenchless Pipe Lining the Best Option?
Trenchless pipe lining is ideal when pipes are damaged but still structurally stable enough to support a liner.
It is commonly used when property owners want to avoid excavation and protect their property.
Common situations include:
- Cracked or leaking sewer pipes
- Root intrusion in drain lines
- Corroded or aging cast iron pipes
- Recurring sewer backups
How the Pipe Lining Process Works
We begin with a sewer camera inspection to evaluate the pipe condition and confirm whether lining is the right solution. If the pipe is collapsed, severely misaligned, or too damaged to support a liner, another repair method may be recommended.
Next, the line is cleaned using hydro jetting or mechanical cleaning tools to remove buildup, roots, grease, scale, and debris. Once the pipe is prepared, a custom liner is inserted, inflated, positioned, and cured using heat, steam, or UV light.
After curing, the result is a smooth, joint-free inner pipe that can restore function and reduce future corrosion, leaks, and root intrusion.

Is Trenchless Pipe Lining Right for Your Property?
Pipe lining may be a good fit when the existing sewer or drain line has cracks, leaks, corrosion, root intrusion, or recurring blockages, but the pipe has not fully collapsed. It is often recommended for homeowners, commercial properties, multi-unit buildings, and facilities that want to avoid the disruption of open-trench excavation.
A camera inspection is the best way to determine whether your pipe can be lined. Our team evaluates the condition of the pipe, the access points, the type of damage, and the long-term repair options before making a recommendation.

Key benefits include:
- No damage to landscaping or hard surfaces
- Faster repair compared to traditional excavation
- Seamless, corrosion-resistant pipe interior
- Protection against root intrusion
- Long lifespan (50+ years)

How Much Does Trenchless Pipe Lining Cost?
The cost of pipe lining depends on several factors, including the length of the pipe, access points, pipe diameter, the extent of damage, and the amount of cleaning or preparation required before installation.
Because every system is different, Total Drain Solutions begins with a sewer camera inspection to accurately assess the pipe and confirm whether CIPP lining is appropriate. We provide clear, upfront pricing based on your specific situation.
While trenchless repair may have a higher upfront cost than basic cleaning, it can often reduce total project costs by avoiding major excavation, landscaping repair, flooring removal, or concrete restoration. For larger projects, consider our Sovent cleaning and pipe maintenance.

Trenchless Pipe Lining FAQs
Generally, trenchless pipe lining is completed within a day or less. Our technicians will give you a more precise completion estimate after inspecting the affected pipes.
Typically, a standard policy for your home doesn't cover your sewer or drain lines. However, our pricing is fair and upfront for all of our services. Plus, you'll save money over time with trenchless pipe lining since the results are long-lasting.
Absolutely! Pipes that are fully restored and capable of handling flow better are less susceptible to clogs – and this often means fewer drain-related issues.
Trenchless pipe lining can provide a long-term repair solution when installed properly and maintained correctly. The lifespan depends on the pipe condition, usage, installation quality, and whether the line is protected from recurring issues like roots, grease, or heavy buildup.
Yes, sewer pipe lining may work on older cast iron pipes if the pipe is still structurally stable enough to support a liner. A sewer camera inspection is needed first to check for corrosion, scaling, cracks, collapse, or severe misalignment.
In many cases, trenchless pipe lining can be completed with little to no excavation. The liner is usually installed through existing access points, which helps protect landscaping, concrete, flooring, and other property surfaces.
Trenchless pipe lining can help repair cracks, leaks, corrosion, root intrusion, recurring blockages, and aging sewer lines. It is not always the best option for fully collapsed pipes or severely misaligned lines.
It depends on the condition of the pipe. Trenchless pipe lining is often preferred when the pipe can be repaired from the inside because it reduces excavation, disruption, and restoration work. Traditional repair may still be needed when the pipe has collapsed or is structurally unsuitable for lining.
Yes. If recurring drain problems are caused by cracks, root intrusion, corrosion, or pipe defects, lining may help restore flow and reduce future blockages. If the issue is only a simple clog, drain cleaning or hydro jetting may be recommended instead.
A sewer camera inspection is the best way to determine whether pipe lining is appropriate. The inspection shows the condition of the pipe, the location of the damage, and whether the existing line can support a new liner.
