Partial pipe collapses and significant joint failures — confirmed by CCTV camera — indicate that the structural condition of a commercial pipe system has crossed the threshold from managed deterioration to active failure. Addressing these conditions trenchlessly is only possible before complete collapse occurs.

Structural failure in commercial pipe systems presents in predictable patterns. Camera inspection identifies which failure mode is occurring and determines whether trenchless rehabilitation is viable.
Trenchless rehabilitation through CIPP lining requires sufficient structural integrity to support liner installation. Once a pipe reaches complete collapse, excavation becomes the only option.
Structural collapse and joint failure are concentrated in specific pipe materials and installation conditions — particularly aging segmental pipe systems in high-load or high-groundwater environments.
A Winston-Salem industrial facility's routine maintenance camera inspection found a partial crown collapse in an 8-inch VCP drain line running under the facility's main access road — approximately 40% of the pipe cross-section had failed. The pipe was still flowing but was scheduled to fail completely within one to two wet-weather seasons based on the observed rate of progression.
LiningWorks installed a CIPP liner through the full affected run — bridging the partial collapse section and restoring the full structural pipe cross-section. Post-installation camera confirmed full liner bond and restoration of the design pipe diameter throughout. The access road was never disturbed.
“Camera inspection found a partial crown collapse under the main access road. LiningWorks lined it in a single day without touching the road surface. Post-installation camera confirmed complete rehabilitation. That road would have been a major emergency if we'd waited.”

We had a plumbing emergency around the holiday's and called a local plumbing company. They cleared the line and quoted a pretty high price to dig up my yard and fix the damaged sewer line. The next day I found LiningWorks online and called Jeremiah. He was very helpful and confident they could fix my sewer line without digging. Seemed too good to be true. The lining has been installed, yard not damaged and looks to have resolved the break. Jeremiah even offered to come back and scope it at a later time to ensure it's all good. Highly recommend Lining Works for any situation where you can't or don't want to dig. Thanks guys!
LiningWorks was top notch. We had a sewer main that got damaged and was completely blocked up. They were able to clear the drain, remove all issues, and reline the entire sewer main without cutting out my driveway and yard. And they were able to get the job done in one day. I would and plan to do business these guys again in the future and would highly recommend them to others.
Where do I begin? Let's just say I had an absolute nightmare on my hands for about 5 years with my sewage. I had one company quote me 7k after he snaked my sewage line and from there I just kept snaking it every year. I dreaded the oncoming financial disaster but I bit the bullet and called LiningWorks. BEST home decision of 5 years. Jeremiah came out and tackled this chaos with grace and integrity. He got down to the root of it — after years of money, anxiety, and frustration he found out it was a city problem! I will definitely be calling LiningWorks when my lining needs replacing. Call them now, you will not be disappointed.
Hired them to redo the pipes at my home because they were old. They were very polite, answered all my questions thoroughly and did an AMAZING job. Jeremiah was the very best that I could ask for and highly recommend his services. Extremely satisfied with the work done. Thanks again Jeremiah!
I am very happy with the work that was done and the clean up after the job was done. Jeremiah and Ralph are very professional and skilled in their craft. I received an estimate and the job did exceed the original estimate. I contacted them about it and they were very understanding and explained why.
Lining Works was excellent to work with. They were perfectly professional. They were organized, efficient, and friendly throughout the whole process. They took time to answer all of our questions. Pipe lining is an incredible option and the team at Lining Works couldn't have been better. They were also transparent, honest, and consistent with their cost/pricing. We couldn't be happier. We feel very fortunate that we found Lining Works. Great guys!
The main drain line in our airbnb kept clogging up, filling the house with an awful sewage smell. We had drain cleaners come out to clear the line every couple months but it finally got so bad we had to close off our bookings. LiningWorks were very prompt in coming out. We discovered tree roots had broken up our line. Our sewage line runs under a tree and 6ft deep through our crawlspace so digging it up was going to be a nightmare. Liningworks was able to cut the tree roots out and line the pipe without any digging so that it's as good as new. Would definitely recommend them to anyone needing sewage line repair.
Lining Works responded to my request quickly and fixed my drain problem very fast. I would highly recommend you give them a call.
Structural pipe failure requires accurate assessment to determine trenchless viability before scope is developed. LiningWorks camera-first approach ensures the rehabilitation window is identified before it closes.
Camera assessment confirms trenchless viability — time is the critical variable once structural failure begins.
336-477-3218, Mon–Sat 7AM–6PM. Surface depressions, recurring backups after maintenance, sinkhole formation near pipe routes — describe the symptoms and we'll assess urgency and schedule promptly.
We scope the affected system to assess the degree of collapse or joint failure, confirm whether trenchless rehabilitation is still viable, and develop a scope based on actual camera findings.
Structural CIPP lining is installed through existing access points — restoring full pipe cross-section and eliminating the risk of complete collapse. Post-installation camera verifies full rehabilitation.
