FAQs
What is trenchless pipe lining and how does it solve main line issues?
Trenchless pipe lining—also called CIPP (Cured-In-Place Pipe)—is a no-dig method that repairs cracked, root-infested, or leaking main sewer lines by installing a seamless epoxy liner inside the existing pipe. After a camera inspection, a flexible resin-saturated tube is inverted or pulled into the damaged line, inflated, and then cured with hot water, steam, or UV light. When the resin hardens, it forms a new, joint-free pipe within the old one, sealing breaks and restoring full flow capacity without the need to excavate long trenches through your yard, driveway, or landscaping.
How do I know if my Hillsboro home needs trenchless pipe lining?
Typical warning signs include frequent main-line backups, slow household drains, gurgling toilets, sewer odors, soggy spots in the yard, or visible roots in a clean-out. If you’re experiencing any of these, our licensed technicians can perform a video camera inspection to pinpoint the problem and determine whether the pipe’s condition—cracks, corrosion, offset joints, or root intrusion—makes it a good candidate for trenchless lining rather than full replacement.
What types of pipes can be rehabilitated with trenchless lining?
Most materials found in Hillsboro’s older and newer neighborhoods—cast iron, clay, concrete, Orangeburg, and some PVC—can be lined successfully as long as the host pipe still retains enough structural integrity to hold the liner during curing. Diameters from 2" to 24" are common for residential and light commercial applications. Our crew will evaluate pipe size, length, accessibility, and severity of damage before confirming suitability.
How long does a trenchless pipe lining project take, and will my yard be disturbed?
A standard residential main line (40–100 ft) is typically completed in a single day: 2–3 hours for cleaning and prep, 1 hour to install and inflate the liner, and 2–4 hours to cure and reinstate any branch connections. Only a small access pit or existing clean-out is needed, so lawns, patios, trees, and driveways remain intact. You’ll have minimal noise, no open trenches, and your plumbing can usually be back in service by that evening.
Is trenchless pipe lining in Hillsboro more cost-effective than traditional excavation?
In many cases, yes. While the per-foot material cost of the liner is higher, avoiding extensive digging, heavy equipment, traffic control, concrete or asphalt replacement, and landscape restoration can cut overall expenses by 30–50 %. Homeowners also save the hidden costs of disrupted irrigation systems, mature trees, and hardscape features. We provide a detailed, fixed-price estimate so you can compare trenchless lining to open-cut replacement side by side.
How long will a newly lined main sewer pipe last and is there a warranty?
The ASTM-tested epoxy liner cures into a structurally independent pipe with a design life of 50+ years—comparable to a new PVC or HDPE main line. Because it’s seamless and joint-free, it resists root intrusion and corrosion far better than the original pipe. Our company backs every Hillsboro lining project with a transferable 10-year labor and materials warranty, and the liner manufacturer provides additional coverage up to 50 years against defects.
