Cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) lining installs a resin-saturated liner inside your existing sewer line and hardens it into a new, smooth pipe wall. It works well as long as the host pipe hasn't fully collapsed, which makes it a strong fit in areas like Monfort Heights, where clay laterals run under mature, tree-lined yards and usually still hold their original shape even after decades of root intrusion.

Cincinnati Sewer Pros checks pipe condition on camera before recommending lining, since a collapsed section needs pipe bursting instead.

What's included

What's Included with CIPP Pipe Lining

Typically included: pipe cleaning, camera inspection, liner sizing and resin saturation, liner insertion and cure, and a final camera pass to confirm the liner bonded correctly.

Optional: root cutting ahead of lining if roots are blocking the pipe, reconnection work at lateral branch lines, cleanout upgrade.

Customer prep: avoid running water or flushing toilets during the cure window, and keep the work area (cleanout or access point) clear.

How it works

How Our CIPP Pipe Lining Process Works

  1. Pipe Cleaning photo
    Step 1

    Pipe Cleaning

    The existing pipe is thoroughly cleaned to remove debris and prepare the surface for lining.

  2. Liner Measurement photo
    Step 2

    Liner Measurement

    Precise measurements ensure the liner fits the exact length and diameter of the pipe.

  3. Resin Saturation photo
    Step 3

    Resin Saturation

    The liner is saturated with resin to prepare it for insertion and curing.

  4. Liner Insertion photo
    Step 4

    Liner Insertion

    The saturated liner is inserted into the host pipe using air or water pressure.

  5. Curing Process photo
    Step 5

    Curing Process

    Heat, UV light, or ambient curing hardens the liner into a solid new pipe wall.

  6. Final Inspection photo
    Step 6

    Final Inspection

    A camera inspection confirms the cured liner is smooth and properly bonded.

Materials

Materials and Methods for CIPP Pipe Lining

  • Felt Liner Tubes photo

    Felt Liner Tubes

    Felt-based tubes serve as the structural base for the resin-saturated lining material, holding shape well inside older clay laterals.

  • Epoxy Resin Blends photo

    Epoxy Resin Blends

    Specially formulated resin blends provide strength and chemical resistance once cured, standing up to decades of wastewater flow.

  • Inversion Equipment photo

    Inversion Equipment

    Inversion drums turn the liner inside out as it is installed into the pipe without digging a trench.

  • Calibration Tubes photo

    Calibration Tubes

    Calibration tubes press the liner firmly against pipe walls during curing for a tight, even bond.

  • Heat Curing Units photo

    Heat Curing Units

    Heat sources accelerate resin curing for faster project completion on tight schedules.

  • End Seal Fittings photo

    End Seal Fittings

    Finishing fittings create a clean, watertight transition at each liner end, sealing out root entry points.

FAQs

CIPP Pipe Lining FAQs

Can you do CIPP lining if the pipe is already collapsed?

No. Lining needs an intact host pipe to cure against. A collapsed section needs pipe bursting or a short dig instead.

How long before the new liner is usable, can I flush toilets same day?

Cure time typically runs a few hours. We'll tell you the exact window for your job, and most homes are back to normal use the same day.

Do tree roots come back after trenchless repair?

A cured liner seals the joints roots previously entered through, so regrowth into that specific section is uncommon going forward.

Will trenchless repair work with my old clay pipe?

As long as the clay hasn't deformed or collapsed. We confirm this on camera before recommending lining.

How is CIPP different from pipe bursting?

Lining installs inside the existing pipe without removing it. Bursting breaks the old pipe apart while pulling a new one through, which is needed when the old pipe can't hold a liner's shape.

Does lining reduce my pipe's interior diameter?

Slightly, by the liner's wall thickness, but flow capacity is generally unaffected for residential lines.
