Lateral Pipe Lining
Lateral pipe lining is also sometimes called cured-in-place piping. This method uses existing pipes and adds a layer of epoxy resin to reline the pipes. The layer of epoxy resin will also repair cracks and close gaps to prevent further leakages and to prevent soil intrusion. To make it as simple as possible, this will basically create a new pipe within the existing pipe. In comparison to the pipe bursting, which will be outlined below, lateral pipe lining is one of the more expensive trenchless sewer repair services; however, it is still usually cheaper than traditional sewer repair services.
Benefits of Lateral Pipe Lining
Many people consider lateral pipe lining as an unbeatable solution for sewer line damages. There are many reasons why this method is so beloved. They are able to offer many benefits, like:
- Versatility. In general, lateral pipe lining can repair just about any type of sewer line damages. In fact, this method is often used to repair common cracks or breaks that emerge with time, tree root penetration, off-set pipes, faulty or mismatched pipe joints, lateral pipe corrosion and animal activity damages.
- Strengthens existing pipes. Existing pipes are often strengthened with lateral pipe lining. The pipes become more hardy and will have a longer average lifespan. They become less susceptible to environmental factors, like tree roots, and will usually maintain their condition for a longer period of time.
- No digging. This benefit is one that is shared with all trenchless sewer repair services. There is absolutely no digging involved.
- Being time-efficient. Lateral pipe bursting usually only takes several hours to complete. Our licensed technicians can get the job done in no time, so you can go back to enjoying your home.
- Cost-efficiency. In general, both lateral line piping and pipe bursting will be significantly cheaper than traditional sewer repair services. This is great for those who are looking for an affordable plumbing option.

If you need more information, do not hesitate to contact us and one of our licensed technicians can walk you through the entire process, so you get a better idea of how it’s done.
Pipe Bursting
This method is different from lateral pipe lining because it doesn’t create a new pipe within an outside pipe. Instead, this method uses a pneumatic or hydraulic head to destroy the existing, old pipes and drag in a new replacement pipe. This option is generally a little bit less expensive in comparison to lateral pipe bursting.
Benefits of Pipe Bursting
So, other than the lower cost, why would some people choose to go with this option rather than with lateral pipe lining? Pipe bursting is actually able to offer some unique benefits, like:
- Being less labor intensive. There’s no digging involved at all.
- Creating less damage. Many homeowners are worried about damage to their yard and to their home. Pipe bursting is able to avoid a lot of the damages that are otherwise common with other types of sewer repair services.
- Needing less cleanup. This is also one of the main benefits of pipe bursting. The entire process can be completed fairly quickly. There is not a lot of cleanup that’s needed. Once the process is done, it’s basically done.
- Increasing the flow capacity of the pipe. Homeowners who decide to use pipe bursting trenchless sewer repair services can replace the pipes with ones of a similar or larger diameter for better flow.
- Having a lifetime guarantee. Most licensed technicians will offer a lifetime guarantee on their work, so homeowners can rest easy.
