    Why Epoxy Lining is best for sewer pipe repair

    Epoxy pipe lining is commonly used when sewer pipes indicate signs of deterioration, but repair using traditional techniques is too expensive or not available at the location.

    The most common situations in which Epoxy Pipe Lining San Diego recommends this method are:

    • Cracked or leaking pipes. Cracks in the sewer system are caused by natural wear and tear of old cast iron pipes, excessive spalling of the joint between two clay pipes, or, in some cases, traffic pressure. Epoxy seals cracks and prevents further pipe failure;
    • Corrosion. Older pipes, especially cast iron in homes built before 1970, are prone to corrosion. Epoxy lining creates an airtight protective layer inside existing pipes, stopping corrosion;
    • Frequent clogs. If your sewer line clogs frequently, it could mean an uneven surface on the inside wall of the pipe where debris is trapped. Epoxy smoothes the inside of the pipe, allowing sewage to flow freely and reducing the likelihood of clogs.

    Who epoxy pipe lining is best for:

    Owners of older homes in San Diego, who need to replace existing sewer lines with minimal property damage.

    Commercial building owners who need to repair sewer lines with minimal time and a long-term warranty.

    Epoxy Pipe Lining - before and after

    • Trenchless epoxy lining technology minimizes the need to dig up yards, remove floors or demolish walls. The risk of repeated repairs is reduced by 95%.
    • The process of repairing or replacing existing pipes takes an average of a few hours to 2-3 days.
    • The sewer system is fully operational a few hours after the work is completed.

    Trenchless Pipe Lining technology: types of method

    There are three types of trenchless pipe lining technology. 
    Spray/Brush Epoxy Pipe Lining Solution

    Spray-on epoxy lining is a technique that applies a layer of epoxy resin to the interior surface of sewer pipes, creating a protective, durable, and corrosion-resistant coating. This method is especially effective for repairing leaks, cracks, and corrosion in underground sewer systems.

    CIPP Epoxy Pipe Lining

    The Cured-In-Place Pipe (CIPP) inversion method involves inserting a flexible liner saturated with resin into the damaged pipe. Once in place, the resin is cured, forming a new, durable pipe within the old one. While this process slightly reduces the pipe's diameter, it provides a seamless and long-lasting repair solution.

    CIPP Pull-In-Place Lining Method

    The Cured-In-Place Pipe (CIPP) Pull-In-Place method is similar to the CIPP Inversion method but differs in how the resin-impregnated liner is installed. This technique is especially effective for repairing pipes with localized damage or areas requiring precision, such as bends, joints, or irregular sections.

    FAQ Sewer Epoxy Pipe Lining

    What is the spray epoxy lining method?

    The spray epoxy lining method is a trenchless pipe repair technique where epoxy resin is sprayed onto the interior of sewer pipes. Once cured, the epoxy creates a durable, corrosion-resistant coating that seals leaks and cracks, preventing further damage and extending the pipe’s lifespan for decades without the need for replacement.

    Is the spray epoxy and brush epoxy the same thing?

    While both spray-applied and brush-applied epoxy create a coating on the inside of the pipe, the application methods differ. Spray-applied epoxy creates a uniform coating over the pipe’s walls, whereas brush-applied epoxy uses a mechanical applicator to manually apply the epoxy. Currently, spray epoxy technology is not as advanced, so we recommend using brush-applied epoxy for better quality and performance.

    What is the CIPP lining technology?

    Cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) lining is a trenchless pipe repair method where a flexible sleeve, impregnated with epoxy, is inserted into a damaged pipe. The sleeve is then inflated and cured in place over 2-3 hours, forming a new, seamless pipe inside the old one, providing a durable repair.

    What’s the difference between CIPP inversion and pill-and-place methods?

    In CIPP inversion, the liner is inverted and pushed into the pipe using air pressure, causing it to bond to the pipe walls. In the pull-in-place method, the liner is pulled into position and inflated to fit the pipe. The key difference is in how the liner is inserted: inversion uses air pressure, while pull-in-place uses cables. Inversion requires direct access to the pipe, while pull-in-place can be accessed via a cleanout vent pipe or manhole.

    When is the pipe burst technology applied?

    Pipe bursting technology is used when the existing pipe is too damaged for relining methods like spray epoxy or CIPP to be effective, or when the customer desires the highest quality work. This method breaks up the old pipe and simultaneously pulls a new one into place, making it ideal for severely damaged or structurally unsound pipes. The process requires excavation only at the start and end points of the pipe.

    Is the epoxy pipe lining method trenchless?

    Yes, the epoxy pipe lining method is trenchless. It involves applying an epoxy coating inside the existing pipe without the need for excavation, preserving the landscaping and structure of your home while repairing the pipe.

    How soon can I use the sewer after epoxy pipe lining?

    Typically, the sewer system can be used within 2-3 hours of completing the epoxy pipe lining, depending on the cure time of the epoxy and the size of the sewer system. However, the resin must fully polymerize before the system can be returned to full service.
