WHAT IS THIS SERVICE / FIXTURE FOR? WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?

Your sewer lateral is the underground pipe that carries wastewater from your home to the city’s main sewer line. Over time, these pipes can become damaged from:

Root intrusion

Cracking or sagging

Corrosion (especially in cast iron or clay)

Ground shifting

The CIPP (Cured-in-Place Pipe) method is a trenchless, long-term solution that avoids excavation. It creates a new structurally sound pipe inside your old one, extending the life of your sewer system by 50+ years.

It’s code-compliant, trenchless, and highly durable — ideal for homes in the Bay Area where yards, concrete, and landscaping are difficult or expensive to restore.

YOUR OPTIONS

Repair or Replace?

Depending on your sewer line’s condition and layout, we may recommend one of the following:

Repair

For isolated damage (if CIPP is not needed for the full run).

Spot Repair

Replace or patch only the damaged section.

Full Replacement

Lining the entire length of the pipe with a seamless, cured-in-place liner.

Upgrade

Adding cleanouts or backflow prevention devices for better maintenance and protection.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common plumbing questions and learn more about our services.

What is the CIPP method, and how does it work?

CIPP stands for Cured-in-Place Pipe — a trenchless method where we install a resin-soaked liner inside your old sewer pipe. The liner hardens in place to form a new, jointless pipe inside the existing one — restoring flow and preventing future root intrusion, cracks, or leaks without digging up your yard.

CIPP is ideal if your pipe has cracks, root intrusion, corrosion, or sagging — but not if the pipe is completely collapsed. Our technician performs a camera inspection to determine whether your line is a good candidate and walk you through options if it’s not.

Most CIPP jobs take just 1 to 2 days. The actual lining and curing process can be completed in a few hours, but we also include thorough prep, hydrojetting, and post-install camera inspections to ensure a perfect result.

No. One of the biggest advantages of CIPP is that it’s truly trenchless. We access your pipe through cleanouts or small entry points, meaning no excavation, no concrete cuts, and no damage to your landscaping or hardscaping.

Yes — in fact, it’s often more durable. The CIPP liner forms a seamless, root-resistant, corrosion-proof pipe that lasts 50+ years. It meets all local codes and is approved by agencies like EBMUD and SFPUC for sewer compliance.

CIPP is typically more affordable than open trench when you factor in restoration costs (landscape, concrete, labor). While the liner installation itself may cost slightly more than a spot repair, you save on surface restoration and get a longer-lasting solution.
