Relining a pipe is the process of repairing and strengthening a damaged pipeline. It entails installing an inner liner into the existing pipe that is then covered with a protection layer and an outer casing, completing the repair. Pipe relining offers several advantages over traditional excavations and replacement methods. 

Pipe relining is a cost effective and efficient method of replacing damaged pipes. It saves on time and money as there is less disruption to life and property. The process does not excavate large trenches for a new pipe installation. Pipe relining uses epoxy, fiberglass or other resin to repair damaged pipes, which results in a more efficient way of reducing restoration time, cost and disruption.

No. Pipe replacement is not always necessary. Often, a simple cleaning or inspection of the pipe may be all that's needed to correct the issue. If you do need line repairs, it’s best to seek the services of a professional to determine if the best solution is digging up and replacing, pipe relining or jetting the line clear of blockages. 

There are several reasons why a sewer line may need to be replaced. The most common causes of line damage include roots intrusion, soil collapse, build-up of grease/debris and corrosion because of age or chemical exposure. These can all cause blockages that lead to backups in your home or business.
