Palmetto Bay Trenchless Sewer Repair Company Installs 50-Year Pipe Lining In Old Pipes, Avoiding Excavation!
If you have been experiencing repeated drain backups in the bathroom, the laundry, or the kitchen, then you most likely live in Palmetto Bay where the homes were built way before 1972 and have the original cast iron pipes. The backups are caused by the water which corrodes the bottom of the pipe, until an eventual crack forms, and then the serrated edges of the crack catch the debris which causes the backups.
The normal solution would be to excavate through the floors or dig under the house to replace the old cast iron pipes with PVC. But since 2004 we have been relining about 400 homes a year with our trenchless pipe lining technologies, that have at least a 50-year lifespan. It only takes about 4 hours to install and we are done usually in about 4 days.
The old method by excavating the floor would take about six to eight weeks, and for a 2000 square foot house, would run about $60,000. Our pipe lining technologies would cost about $20,000.

Benefits Of Trenchless Pipe Lining
- No digging through your floors
- Much less expensive – pipe relining costs about 50% less than excavation
- Save your tile, wood, or marble – it’s usually impossible to find matching floor surfaces that were installed decades ago
- Stay in your home, not a hotel – pipe relining is done from outside, so you can stay in your residence
- Speed – pipe lining takes 1 day, not months as for pipe replacement by excavation
- The plumbing can be used during installation except for 3-4 hours a day
How Is It Installed, And What’s The Cost In Miami-Dade County?
From outside your property, we open the pipe, clean out the rust, scale, and roots, and then install a new “pipe liner” or sleeve which has been saturated with a self-hardening epoxy resin. The liner contains a balloon which is inflated for 3 hours while the resin becomes rock-hard. Then the balloon is removed and a video inspection is performed to ensure correct installation. The pipe is put back into use immediately. A 2,000 square foot house would cost about $17,000 to re-line. Learn more pipe lining installation details here.

How Strong Is The Pipe Lining?
The pipe liner is a fabric tube made of polyester which is then “wet out” with a 2-part epoxy resin which is mixed together in a certain proportion. In about 30 minutes resin heats up by itself to 180 degrees Fahrenheit due to an exothermic chemical reaction and becomes rock hard.
The resulting new inner pipe liner is so strong that it is a stand-alone pipe, not needing the old exterior pipe for structural integrity. The liner is designed to go under load-bearing footers, roads, driveways, etc.
