  • Speed – pipe lining takes 1 day, not 3 weeks as for pipe replacement by excavation
  • Environmentally friendly – pipe replacement by excavation means tons of waste concrete and pipe have to be disposed of in landfills

How long has trenchless sewer repair existed in West Palm Beach?

For large diameter pipes this technology has been used throughout South Florida for the last 40 years . Large diameter would include from 8 inches up to 48 inches in diameter. For pipes from 8 inches down to 2 inches, trenchless sewer repair technology was only invented about 15 years ago. That was the first time the technology was used in residential and commercial drains. Today the technology is tried and tested, with thousands of miles of trenchless sewer lining installed throughout South Florida from Port St Lucie all the way down to Key West.

Are there any disadvantages of pipe relining?

One obvious objection that one might envision, is that the pipe diameter is reduced by the thickness of the pipe lining. However, remember that before installing the pipe lining, the pipe has to be cleaned, removing all the scale and rust which has accumulated over the years. The resulting clean pipe is thinner than it was upon installation, compensates for the slight diameter reduction of approximately 5% of the new pipe lining. So the net effect of diameter reduction would be approximately 1%.

How Is This 50-Year Warranty Trenchless Sewer Line Installed?

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 special 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 within 1 day. Learn more pipe lining installation details here.

INSTANT-QUOTE for Pipe Lining

How Much Does Trenchless Sewer Line Repair Cost In South Florida Region?

For residential purposes, from $150-$200 per linear foot of lining. It varies by pipe diameter, installation complexity, and customer attitude. For Commercial purposes, $175-$225 per linear foot. Commercial installation would be high-rise buildings, factories, shopping malls etc. These installations are more complex since pipe downtime, even for just 4 hours, usually has an enormous impact on tenants and can cause much economic impact for any loss of use of pipe. Note also, every trenchless pipe lining company will have a minimum charge in order to mobilize their expensive equipment and trained crew. For more specific costs, go 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.
