Project Details
Plumbing Inspection
The project involved the complete rehabilitation of a deteriorated residential sewer line using advanced trenchless technology. The existing clay pipe system—over 50 years old—had suffered significant cracks, root intrusions, and partial collapses, leading to recurring backups and drainage issues. Rather than resorting to traditional excavation, which would have required tearing up the homeowner’s landscaped garden and driveway, the trenchless pipe relining method was deployed to restore functionality with minimal disruption.
The project began with a comprehensive CCTV drain inspection to assess the condition and precise location of defects. Based on the footage, the team determined the suitable relining approach: Cured-In-Place Pipe (CIPP) lining. A flexible epoxy-resin saturated liner was inserted into the old pipe through an existing access point.
Features Of Project
One of the main challenges was navigating multiple 90-degree bends in the pipeline. Specialized winching equipment and guide tubes were used to ensure the liner passed smoothly without twisting or folding. Additionally, the team pre-cleared major root blockages with high-pressure water jetting to ensure the liner could travel unimpeded.

The relined pipe restored optimum wastewater flow, eliminated infiltration and exfiltration, and extended the pipeline’s lifespan by an estimated 50 years. The homeowner avoided costly and invasive landscape restoration, and the new pipe—smoother than the original—actually improved flow capacity and reduced the risk of future clogs.
