We also have the capability to reline the municipal side of your sewer lateral and bill the city direct for the work from property line to mainline sewer. A home/ property owner is responsible for the foundation wall to the property line. Sewer relining/ curried in place pipe is a PERMANENT SOLUTION. The first step to relining is to clean and inspect sewer lateral/ drain. Once clean we custom build a felt sewer liner to fit the size and length of the drain to be repaired. We then mix a 2 part epoxy that turns into plastic and impregnates resin into the custom-built liner. We then force liner into your existing drain utilizing your existing cleanout. Once the liner is in place. We cure the resin. Leaving a solid, rigid one-piece pipe running through your existing system. The liner has been manufactured and passed testing to last minimum of 50 years by the supplier. The liner reduces the size of the existing drain by 5% but increases flow by 40% on average. Due to liner being much smoother than existing abrasive cast iron, clay, concrete or transit Pipe
