Cured-in-place pipe lining for Maine homes and businesses. We insert a resin-saturated liner through a small access point, cure it in place, and create a seamless new pipe inside the old one — in a single day, with a 50-year structural warranty.

Cured-in-place pipe lining (CIPP) is the central technology that makes trenchless sewer repair possible. A flexible liner saturated with epoxy resin is pulled through your existing damaged lateral, inflated against the pipe walls, and cured in place through hot water, steam, or ambient curing. The result is a seamless, jointless structural pipe inside the old one — stronger than the original and guaranteed for 50 years.
The key advantage is that CIPP eliminates the two main failure points of older Maine sewer laterals: joints, where roots enter, and interior corrosion in cast iron, which catches debris and slows flow. The new liner has no joints and a smooth interior that actively improves flow over the original pipe.
CIPP lining works on virtually every pipe material common in Maine: clay tile from the 1800s-1950s, cast iron from 1900-1975, Orangeburg from 1945-1972 (though heavily deformed Orangeburg may require alternate methods), ABS from the 1970s, and PVC. Diameters from 3 inches to 12 inches are routine; larger diameters are possible for commercial and municipal work.
Camera inspection shows longitudinal or circumferential cracks. CIPP creates a new structural pipe, sealing the cracks permanently.
We run an HD camera through your existing lateral to confirm material, length, and condition. You see the problem before any work happens. Written estimate follows within 24 hours.
Before the liner goes in, we clean the pipe with high-pressure water jetting. Roots, grease, scale, and debris all come out. The liner bonds to a clean interior surface.
The resin-saturated liner is pulled through the lateral, inflated, and cured. Depending on curing method and pipe diameter, the cure takes 2 to 4 hours.
We run the camera through the new liner to confirm a successful install. You get the video recording and a final report with the warranty certificate.
The liner carries a 50-year structural warranty. Actual life expectancy in typical Maine conditions is often longer. The liner material is inert to water, sewage chemistry, temperature cycling, and salt water.
Standard residential work covers 3-inch to 6-inch laterals. Commercial and municipal work goes up to 12 inches routinely and larger with specialty equipment.
CIPP is designed specifically for sewer and drainage, not potable water. For water service line trenchless work, we use different methods and materials.
