If your home or property is dealing with aging, cracked, or root-intruded sewer lines, you may not need to dig up your yard to fix it. Sewer pipe lining offers a long-lasting, non-invasive way to restore your underground pipes—without the damage and cost of full replacement.
This trenchless technology is becoming the preferred choice for homeowners in Colorado Springs, where older infrastructure and freeze-thaw cycles often lead to underground pipe failure.
What Is Sewer Pipe Lining?
Sewer pipe lining, also called cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) repair, is a trenchless method used to repair damaged sewer lines by creating a new, seamless pipe inside the existing one.
Rather than digging up your entire sewer line, a flexible liner coated with epoxy resin is inserted into the pipe. It’s then inflated, cured (often with heat or UV light), and hardened into a durable new pipe within the old one.
How Sewer Pipe Lining Works: Step by Step
If you’ve never heard of pipe lining before, here’s how the process works:
1. Sewer Scope Inspection
A sewer camera is used to inspect the full length of the pipe. This helps locate cracks, root intrusion, corrosion, or collapsed areas and determines if lining is an option.
2. Pipe Cleaning
The existing sewer line is cleaned using hydro jetting or mechanical tools to remove debris, grease, and roots. A clean surface ensures the liner bonds correctly.
3. Liner Installation
A resin-soaked liner is inserted into the pipe through a small access point, typically near your home or cleanout. The liner is carefully positioned to cover all damaged areas.
4. Curing
The liner is inflated and cured using hot water, steam, or UV light. Once hardened, it forms a smooth, jointless pipe inside your original sewer line.
5. Final Inspection
A second sewer scope is performed to ensure the liner is fully cured and that flow is restored.
Why Sewer Pipe Lining Is Ideal for Colorado Springs Homes
In Colorado Springs, homes built before the 1980s often have clay, cast iron, or Orangeburg sewer pipes. These materials are especially vulnerable to:
- Tree root intrusion
- Corrosion and scaling
- Cracks from soil movement
- Winter freeze-thaw cycles
Sewer pipe lining provides a long-term solution without destroying your landscaping, driveway, or foundation.

- Cost-Effective – Avoids the labor and restoration costs of full excavation
- Durable & Long-Lasting – Lined pipes can last 50+ years and resist roots, corrosion, and leaks
- Faster Repairs – Most lining jobs are completed in just one day
- Eco-Friendly – Less waste and reduced environmental disruption
