How Cured In Place Pipe Lining (CIPP) Works
It’s often possible to extend the useful life of sewer or drain lines still structurally sound. One way this goal can be accomplished is with CIPP. It’s a repair option that keeps the original pipe in place while restoring it from the inside. It’s an efficient process that involves:
-
-
- Inspecting the affected pipe
- Properly cleaning it
- Applying a resin material to the inside with a flexible liner
- Allowing the applied material to “cure in place” thus forming a solid, durable surface coating

Benefits of CIPP for Sewer and Drain Line Repair
Avoiding costly cleanup expenses is one of the top benefits of CIPP. It’s also a way of repairing pipes that requires less time to complete. Furthermore, there’s no need to bring heavy machinery onto your property. Even more importantly, the restored pipe is less susceptible to tree root intrusions and similar types of damage.
Cured In Place Pipe Lining (CIPP) FAQs
What is cured in place pipe lining?
Cured in place pipe lining is a trenchless sewer repair method that restores damaged pipes from the inside. A flexible liner saturated with resin is inserted into the existing pipe and cured in place, forming a new durable pipe that seals cracks, prevents leaks, and extends the life of the sewer line.
How long does CIPP pipe lining last?
CIPP pipe lining has an estimated design life of 50 years or more. The cured liner forms a seamless interior pipe that resists corrosion, root intrusion, and leaks, providing a long-term trenchless repair solution for many sewer and drain line systems.
When should cured in place pipe lining be used for sewer repair?
Cured in place pipe lining is used when sewer or drain pipes have cracks, leaks, corrosion, or root intrusion but remain structurally stable. A professional sewer camera inspection can determine whether CIPP is the right solution.
Does CIPP pipe lining require digging?
CIPP pipe lining usually requires little to no digging depending on the access of the pipe being rehabilitated. The liner is installed through an access point or points depending on the project, allowing technicians to restore the pipe from the inside while minimizing disruption to landscaping, driveways, sidewalks, foundations and nearby structures.
What types of pipes can be repaired with CIPP lining?
CIPP lining can repair many types of sewer and drain pipes, including cast iron, PVC, clay, and concrete and more. Usually sewer pipes will need hydro jetting beforehand to prepare the pipe for a liner to remove debris.
