WHAT IS CIPP LINING?
THE BASICS – WHAT IS IT?Industry jargon, decoded. Here’s exactly what cured-in-place pipe lining is and how it differs from patching or replacement.
CIPP — short for “cured-in-place pipe” — is a trenchless method for structurally rebuilding a damaged sewer or drain pipe from the inside. A flexible felt or fiberglass liner is saturated with two-part epoxy resin, inserted into the host pipe through an existing cleanout, and inflated tight against the pipe wall using air or water pressure.
The resin then cures — using ambient temperature, hot water, steam, or UV light — into a hard, jointless “pipe within a pipe.” The cured composite is a standalone structural pipe, meaning it doesn’t rely on the old host pipe for strength. CIPP installations are rated to ASTM F1216 and carry a documented service life of 50 years or more.
Unlike a patch repair, which fixes just one short section, CIPP rehabilitates the entire length of the line — typically a full sewer lateral from the cleanout to the city main.
HOW CIPP LINING IS INSTALLED.
OUR PROCESS · STEP BY STEP01
Inspect & Clean
Camera inspection confirms CIPP is the right fix. The line is then hydro-jetted and descaled so the resin bonds tightly to a clean host wall.
02
Measure & Saturate
The liner is cut to exact length and diameter, then saturated with two-part epoxy resin under controlled conditions in our truck.
03
Insert & Inflate
The liner is inverted or pulled into the pipe through the cleanout, then inflated with air or water pressure to press it tight against the host pipe wall.
04
Cure & Verify
Resin cures via ambient temp, hot water, steam, or UV light — typically 1–4 hours. Final camera pass verifies a smooth, jointless new pipe.

SIGNS YOU NEED PIPE BURSTING
DIAGNOSTICS – DO YOU NEED THIS?Bursting is the trenchless option when lining isn’t possible. Here’s how we know on the camera.
Ideal CIPP Scenarios:
- Multiple cracks or fractures along the line
- Heavy root intrusion at several joints
- Aging cast iron with widespread corrosion
- Orangeburg (tar-paper) pipe deformation
- Clay tile with cracked or offset joints
- Calcium/scale buildup throughout
- Slab-encased pipe (no-dig access needed)
- Pipe still holds shape (not fully collapsed)

PIPE BURSTING FAQS
What is CIPP (cured-in-place pipe) lining?
CIPP is a trenchless method for rehabilitating damaged sewer pipes. A felt or fiberglass liner saturated with epoxy resin is inserted into the host pipe through a cleanout, inflated tight against the pipe wall, and cured (ambient, hot water, steam, or UV) into a jointless structural “pipe within a pipe” with a 50-year-plus service life.
How long does a CIPP liner last?
A properly installed CIPP liner has a documented service life of 50 years or more. Cured composites are tested to ASTM F1216 standards, and accelerated-aging studies suggest performance well beyond the 50-year benchmark.
What pipes can be CIPP lined?
Cast iron, clay, Orangeburg, concrete, ABS, and PVC — residential and commercial. Typical diameters are 2″–12″ for laterals (larger for mainlines). The host pipe must hold its shape; severely collapsed pipes require pipe bursting instead.
How long does CIPP installation take?
Most residential CIPP jobs are completed in a single day — 6–10 hours including camera, cleaning, install, cure, and reinstating laterals. You can use water that evening in most cases.
Does CIPP reduce the inside diameter?
CIPP liners are very thin — typically 3–6 mm of cured wall thickness. There’s a small ID reduction, but the smoother resin surface improves flow versus the corroded host pipe in nearly every case.
Will I have to dig up my yard or break concrete?
No. CIPP is fully trenchless — installation is through an existing cleanout or, in some cases, a single small access point. No driveway demo, no torn-up landscaping, no tunnel under the slab.
Does CIPP work for cast iron pipes?
Yes — CIPP is one of the most common methods to extend the life of corroded cast iron in pre-1980 SoCal homes. We typically descale first to remove scale, then line over the cleaned host pipe.
