Pipe bursting is used when the host pipe is too damaged to hold a CIPP liner. Four conditions make bursting the correct — and most cost-effective — choice.
The pipe bursting process works best when the surrounding soil is still intact. Four situations where calling sooner saves money and complexity.
A pipe bursting job requires precise planning, the right burst head, and careful verification. Four standards make every LiningWorks bursting job consistent.

We excavate only at the entry and exit points of the burst path — typically at the cleanout and city tap. Nothing in between is disturbed.

New HDPE pipe is staged behind the exit pit and attached to the burst head. The head fractures the host pipe outward, displacing it into the surrounding soil.

A final camera scope walks the new HDPE pipe from cleanout to city tap. You watch the replacement pipe on screen and keep the before and after footage on USB.

Nearly every collapsed-pipe job in Charlotte follows the same pattern: scope, access pits, burst, verify. One day, one flat price, full-diameter HDPE in place.

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.
Pipe bursting is a precision job. We have run enough of them in Charlotte to know exactly what each soil type, pipe material, and access scenario requires.
