A sewer line doesn't have to be dug up to get a new interior. CIPP Pipe Lining saturates a felt liner with resin, pulls or inverts it into the existing pipe, and cures it in place to form a new structural wall inside the old one. Richmond Sewer Pros uses this on clay and cast iron laterals that have lost their smooth bore to root intrusion or corrosion but still hold their round shape.
This method fits a large share of Richmond's older housing stock, where the original pipe predates plastic standards but hasn't fully collapsed. If the camera shows the pipe is still structurally round, CIPP lining is usually the lower-disruption option compared to digging out and replacing the run.
What's included
What's included with CIPP Pipe Lining
Typically included: pre-lining camera inspection, pipe cleaning, resin-saturated liner installation, curing, and a final camera pass to confirm the cured liner.
Optional: hydro jetting to remove heavy root growth before lining, additional cleanout access points.
Customer prep: avoid heavy water use (laundry, dishwasher) during the lining window, keep access to the main cleanout clear.

How our CIPP Pipe Lining process works
Step 1Pipe Cleaning
The existing pipe is thoroughly cleaned to remove debris and prepare the surface for lining.
Step 2Liner Measurement
Precise measurements ensure the liner fits the exact length and diameter of the pipe.
Step 3Resin Saturation
The liner is saturated with resin to prepare it for insertion and curing.
Step 4Liner Insertion
The saturated liner is inserted into the host pipe using air or water pressure.
Step 5Curing Process
Heat, UV light, or ambient curing hardens the liner into a solid new pipe wall.
Step 6Final Inspection
A camera inspection confirms the cured liner is smooth and properly bonded.
Materials
Materials and methods for CIPP Pipe Lining
Felt Liner Tubes
The felt base gives the liner enough body to bridge gaps left by decades-old clay joints.
Epoxy Resin Blends
Resin formulated for chemical resistance holds up against the sediment common in older Richmond laterals.
Inversion Equipment
Inversion drums turn the liner inside out as it's installed, fitting tight bends in older cast iron runs.
Calibration Tubes
These press the liner firmly against the pipe wall, important where original clay pipe has an irregular bore.
Heat Curing Units
Heat sources cure the liner faster, limiting the time a Richmond household is without full sewer use.
End Seal Fittings
Finishing fittings create a clean transition back to the home's existing cast iron or clay connections.

CIPP Pipe Lining FAQs
Will my old clay pipe work with CIPP lining?
If the camera shows the pipe is still round and hasn't collapsed, yes. Fully collapsed sections need pipe bursting instead.
How long does a CIPP liner last?
A properly cured liner is rated for decades of service, comparable to installing new pipe.
How much does CIPP Pipe Lining cost in Richmond?
Pricing is typically figured per linear foot and depends on pipe diameter and access. We quote exact numbers after the camera inspection.
Does CIPP lining reduce pipe diameter?
Slightly, the liner adds a thin wall inside the existing pipe, but flow capacity is rarely affected in a residential lateral.
Can CIPP handle a sharp bend in the line?
Most standard bends are fine. Very tight or offset bends may need a different approach, which the camera inspection will show.
Is CIPP Pipe Lining a DIY job?
No. Liner saturation, insertion, and curing require pro equipment and timing, there's no practical DIY version of this process.
