"Another company wanted to rip up my driveway for a pipe repair. LiningWorks fixed all three problem joints trenchlessly in one day. Showed me the camera footage before and after. Driveway is fine, pipe is fixed."

Sewer Pipe Repair without tearing up your yard.
LiningWorks sewer pipe repair starts with a camera inspection, so we know exactly what's broken before we recommend anything. Then we fix it with the least invasive method that works: CIPP lining, spot repair, or pipe bursting. No unnecessary digging, no manufactured scope.

WHAT IT IS
What sewer pipe repair actually involves, and how we choose the right method.
Sewer pipe repair covers a range of methods depending on what the camera finds. Not every pipe defect requires the same solution, and recommending excavation when trenchless pipe repair will do is something we refuse to do.
For cracks, joint separations, and localized defects, CIPP spot lining creates a new structural pipe wall inside the damaged section: no digging, 50-year warranty, and access through existing cleanouts. For a longer deteriorated run, full lateral lining lines the entire pipe from cleanout to connection.
For pipes that are fully collapsed or structurally beyond lining, pipe bursting is the trenchless alternative to open-cut replacement. A new pipe is pulled through the host pipe, fracturing it outward, with only two small access pits at each end.
Every sewer pipe repair recommendation comes from camera footage you've watched with us, not a technician's word. You see the defect, understand the options, and decide before we start.

REPAIR OPTIONS
Three sewer pipe repair methods, and when each one is right.
The right sewer pipe repair method depends entirely on what the camera finds. We explain the tradeoffs for each option before you commit to anything.
- CIPP spot lining: localized pipe repair with no excavationA short CIPP liner is installed over a specific crack, joint failure, or root entry point. Best for isolated defects on an otherwise structurally sound pipe. Access through the cleanout, 50-year warranty, same-day completion.
- Full lateral CIPP lining: whole-run pipe repair trenchlesslyWhen the full pipe run has widespread joint failure, corrosion, or root intrusion throughout, we line the entire lateral from cleanout to city tap. No digging, one day, 50-year warranty on the full run.
- Pipe bursting: trenchless pipe repair for collapsed sectionsWhen pipe is too degraded for lining, pipe bursting fractures the old host pipe outward while pulling a new HDPE pipe into its place. Two small access pits: no trench across the yard.
- Open-cut spot repair: for accessible localized failuresWhen a pipe failure is shallow and accessible, a targeted open-cut spot repair is sometimes the most cost-effective option. We make the smallest possible excavation, replace the failed section, and restore the surface.

Three joint failures repaired without digging the driveway.
A Ballantyne homeowner was quoted a driveway excavation by another company to repair three failing joints in a 55-foot clay-tile lateral. Our camera confirmed the defects, we spot-lined all three sections with CIPP, and restored the line to full structural integrity, driveway untouched.
