Groundwater infiltrating into storm drain pipes through failed joints, and sanitary wastewater entering through illegal or failed cross-connections, both increase system load beyond design capacity — causing flooding during wet weather and potential regulatory compliance problems where sanitary/stormwater commingling is prohibited.

Inflow and infiltration in storm drain systems involves two distinct water sources — groundwater entering through failed pipe joints, and sanitary wastewater entering through cross-connections.
I&I detection in storm drain systems uses camera inspection, dye testing, and flow monitoring — each identifying different aspects of the infiltration problem.
I&I risk in storm drain systems is highest in older pipe systems with high groundwater exposure and in commercial developments with complex utility infrastructure history.
A Charlotte urban commercial property had a private storm drain system with documented wet-weather surcharging — flow monitoring over two months showed infiltration volumes spiking to 2.8x dry-weather baseline during significant rain events. Camera inspection under wet conditions found active water entry at eight separate joint locations throughout the system.
LiningWorks CIPP-lined the full storm drain system — sealing all eight identified infiltration points. Post-rehabilitation flow monitoring over the following month confirmed a 75% reduction in wet-weather flow spikes. The post-rehabilitation flow pattern showed no statistically significant relationship between rainfall events and system flow rate.
“Wet-weather surcharging with 2.8x flow spikes. Camera found eight joint infiltration points. LiningWorks lined the full system and our post-rehab flow monitoring showed a 75% reduction in wet-weather spikes. The surcharging problem is gone.”

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.
Storm drain I&I rehabilitation requires accurate source identification and documentation — CIPP lining provides the sealing, flow monitoring provides the verification.
Camera identifies infiltration sources under wet conditions — CIPP seals them in a single liner run.
336-477-3218, Mon–Sat 7AM–6PM. Surcharging during storms, suspected cross-connections, flow monitoring data — describe the situation and we'll schedule the right assessment approach.
We scope the system under wet conditions to identify all active infiltration sources, and develop a CIPP lining scope that covers every identified infiltration point.
CIPP liner installation seals all identified infiltration points. Post-rehabilitation flow monitoring documents I&I reduction. Full documentation for property and compliance records.
