Sewer relining is a trenchless repair option for eligible sewer lines that are still stable enough to support a new liner. Harts can inspect the line, explain what the camera shows, and determine whether CIPP pipe lining is a good fit for the problem.
Install a new liner inside an eligible sewer pipe to help restore flow with less digging.
Repair cracks, small gaps, and damaged pipe walls by lining the sewer pipe from the inside.
Help seal eligible pipe sections where roots entered through cracks, joints, or weak areas.
Confirm whether your sewer line can be relined or if repair, bursting, or replacement is needed.
Sewer relining is designed to restore eligible sewer pipes from the inside instead of removing the full line. After the pipe is inspected and cleaned, a liner is installed inside the existing sewer line and cured to create a new interior surface.
This can help address cracks, small gaps, root entry points, and aging pipe walls with less digging than traditional excavation. Harts can explain whether CIPP pipe lining is a realistic option based on what the sewer camera inspection shows.
Sewer relining may be a good option when the existing pipe is damaged but still stable enough to support a new liner. It may be considered for cracked pipes, root-damaged sections, aging pipe walls, small gaps, and certain sewer line defects.
Relining is not the right solution for every sewer problem. If the pipe is collapsed, severely offset, heavily deteriorated, backpitched, or missing sections, Harts may recommend another repair or replacement method instead.
Sewer relining may be worth considering when the pipe has damage that can be restored from the inside, but the line is not fully collapsed or too severely shifted. A camera inspection helps confirm whether lining can address the problem or if another sewer repair method is needed.
Sewer backups keep returning
The pipe is damaged, but not fully collapsed
Tree roots are entering through joints or cracks
You want to avoid unnecessary excavation
A camera inspection shows cracked pipe walls
The problem is limited to a section that can be lined

Pipe Lining Guide
Sewer relining is designed to repair eligible sewer pipes from the inside. Instead of removing the full pipe, CIPP pipe lining creates a new interior surface within the existing sewer line when the pipe is stable enough to support the liner.
Sewer relining may be an option when the pipe has damage that can be sealed or restored from the inside, but the line has not fully collapsed or lost its shape.
CIPP lining can help seal certain cracks, gaps, and weak areas inside the sewer pipe. This can reduce the need for full excavation when the damaged pipe is still structurally stable enough to support a liner.
Tree roots often enter sewer lines through cracks, joints, or weakened pipe sections. Relining may help seal eligible areas after roots are cleared, reducing the chance of roots entering through the same opening again.
Older sewer lines can develop corrosion, scale, rough interior walls, or small defects over time. Sewer relining may help create a smoother interior surface when the existing pipe is still a good candidate for lining.
Not every sewer line can be relined. Harts evaluates the pipe condition, access, cleaning needs, and type of damage before recommending CIPP pipe lining.
A sewer camera inspection helps show whether the pipe may qualify for relining. The line may also need to be cleaned before lining so roots, grease, scale, sludge, or buildup do not interfere with the liner.
Sewer relining can reduce digging when the line qualifies, but excavation may still be needed if the pipe is collapsed, severely offset, backpitched, missing sections, or too damaged to support a liner.
Relining restores the inside of an eligible existing pipe, while replacement removes or replaces the damaged line. Harts can explain whether relining, spot repair, pipe bursting, excavation, or replacement makes the most sense for your property.

“I had a clogged drain, and Harts made the process professional and convenient. The technician was friendly and knowledgeable. Even though the line could not be unclogged because of thick tree roots, they used the camera to mark exactly where the blockage was outside, which helped a lot.”

Find answers to common questions about sewer relining and CIPP pipe lining services.
Sewer relining is a trenchless repair method that creates a new liner inside an eligible existing sewer pipe. Instead of removing the full pipe, the liner helps restore the inside of the line when the pipe is stable enough to support it.
CIPP stands for cured-in-place pipe. It is a pipe lining method where a liner is installed inside the existing sewer pipe and cured to create a new interior surface. Harts can inspect the line and explain whether CIPP relining is a good fit.
Sewer relining may be a good option when the pipe has cracks, small gaps, root entry points, or aging pipe walls, but is not fully collapsed or too severely shifted. A camera inspection helps determine whether the line can be relined.
Sewer relining may help seal eligible pipe sections where roots entered through cracks, joints, or weak areas after the roots are cleared. If the pipe is severely damaged, collapsed, or heavily offset, another repair or replacement method may be needed.
Sewer relining is designed to reduce digging compared to traditional excavation, but some access work may still be needed. The amount of digging depends on pipe access, line condition, cleaning needs, and the location of the damaged section.
A sewer pipe may not qualify for relining if it is collapsed, missing sections, severely offset, backpitched, heavily deteriorated, or unable to support a new liner. In those cases, Harts may recommend spot repair, pipe bursting, excavation, or replacement.
It depends on the condition of the pipe. Relining may be a good option when the existing pipe can be restored from the inside. Replacement may be better when the line has major structural damage, repeated failures, collapse, or widespread deterioration.
Sewer relining cost depends on pipe length, diameter, access, cleaning needs, pipe condition, damage severity, and whether additional sewer repair is needed. Harts provides upfront pricing before approved work begins.
