FAQs
What is epoxy pipe relining and how does it solve main sewer line issues in Norris?
Epoxy relining (also called CIPP—cured-in-place pipe) is a trenchless method that coats the inside of your existing sewer or drain line with a liquid epoxy that hardens into a new, seamless pipe. Technicians insert a resin-saturated liner through a clean-out or small access point, inflate it, and cure it with hot water, steam, or UV light. Once cured, the liner becomes a structural, joint-free pipe that seals cracks, stops root intrusion, and restores full flow capacity without having to dig up your yard or driveway.
How long does an epoxy-lined main line last compared with traditional pipe replacement?
A properly installed epoxy liner can last 50 years or longer—comparable to, or even exceeding, the lifespan of new PVC pipe. Because the liner is jointless and corrosion-resistant, it is less prone to root intrusion and mineral buildup than clay, cast iron, or PVC joints. Most manufacturers back their product with a 50-year material warranty, and our Norris relining team provides a transferable workmanship guarantee as well.
Will relining my sewer main disrupt my home, landscaping, or driveway?
Trenchless relining is designed to minimize disruption. We use existing clean-outs or dig just one or two small entry pits (2–3 sq. ft.) instead of excavating the entire pipe. There is little to no damage to lawns, patios, sidewalks, or mature trees. Typical household water service is interrupted for only 4–6 hours during curing, compared with several days for open-cut replacement.
Is epoxy relining suitable for all pipe materials and conditions?
Relining works on clay, cast iron, concrete, Orangeburg, and many PVC systems from 2" up to 36" in diameter. The existing host pipe must be structurally stable enough to hold the liner during curing; pipes that are completely collapsed or have large voids may require spot repairs or partial replacement first. A camera inspection and pipe-cleaning (descaling, hydro-jetting) are always performed to confirm suitability before we line any main in Norris.
How much does epoxy relining cost compared to traditional excavation?
Costs vary by diameter, length, depth, and number of access points, but in Norris most residential main-line relining projects range from $75–$125 per linear foot. While that can be similar to or slightly higher than open-cut replacement per foot, trenchless relining usually ends up 15–30 % less expensive overall once you factor in restoration costs for landscaping, driveways, and interior finishes that excavation would disturb.
What maintenance is required after my sewer main is relined?
Very little. Because the new epoxy surface is smooth and non-porous, grease and scale have a hard time adhering. We recommend a preventive camera inspection every 5–7 years and avoiding chemical drain cleaners that can shorten the life of any plumbing system. If a blockage does occur, standard hydro-jetting or cable snaking is safe for the liner.
