Pipe Relining Services on the Main Line

Sewer or drain problems are stressful enough without the thought of tearing up your lawn, driveway, or patio. Traditional replacement meant heavy excavation, but today, no-dig pipe repair is often an option. Family Roots Plumbing provides residential pipe relining services throughout the Main Line and across Montgomery, Chester, and Delaware counties. Our customers count on us for clear communication, code-compliant work, and meticulous cleanup that leaves their property looking better than when we arrived.

No-Dig Pipe Relining That Protects Your Property

With trenchless pipe repair, we restore damaged pipes without major excavation. Our epoxy pipe lining creates a durable new interior inside your existing pipe, saving landscaping, hardscaping, and finished spaces from unnecessary damage. From start to finish, you can expect respectful service, upfront pricing, and results that last.

What Is Cured-in-Place Pipe (CIPP)?

A cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) is an epoxy-saturated liner inserted into an existing pipe, then cured to form a seamless new pipe within the old one. This method addresses cracks, small gaps, minor offsets, and root intrusion, strengthening your line without digging it up.

When Sewer Pipe Relining Makes Sense

Trenchless sewer pipe repair and relining are often ideal when you’re dealing with:

  • Recurring main-line clogs
  • Tree root intrusion
  • Cracked clay or cast-iron pipes
  • Corrosion or heavy scale
  • Pipes running beneath driveways, patios, or finished basements

Relining isn’t right for every situation. If your pipe has collapsed, developed a major belly, or lacks access points, we may recommend targeted sewer line repair instead.

Our Pipe Relining Process

We keep the trenchless repair process efficient, transparent, and minimally disruptive.

Inspect and Locate

We begin with a sewer camera inspection to evaluate pipe condition, material, and depth. Video cameras and locating equipment document findings so we can plan precisely.

Clean and Prep

Next, we remove grease, roots, and debris, often using hydro jetting sewer cleaning services, to ensure the liner bonds properly. We stage access points carefully and protect work areas.

Install and Cure

We insert the epoxy resin liner, inflate it against the host pipe, and cure it in place. Once hardened, it becomes a seamless new pipe wall, and we reinstate branch connections as needed.

Verify and Document

We finish with a post-installation camera inspection, flow tests, and a walkthrough of the results. You’ll receive documentation and care tips for ongoing reliability.

Residential and Small Commercial Applications

Pipe restoration services work for home sewer laterals, basement drains, kitchen and laundry lines, and small commercial spaces like HOAs and retail buildings. We schedule with minimal disruption to daily routines and coordinate access with property managers when needed.

Pipe Restoration Services vs. Replacement

Relining is best for structurally sound host pipes with cracks, corrosion, or root intrusion. If pipes are severely collapsed or offset, pipe bursting or sectional replacement may be the better choice. Properly installed epoxy pipe lining can extend service life for decades, and we back our work with a clear warranty.

Long-Term Reliability and Maintenance

After relining, we may recommend adding or upgrading cleanouts for easier future service. We’ll also share maintenance tips, like periodic camera checks and safe cleaning intervals, to keep lines flowing. Avoid flushing wipes, grease, and other debris that can still cause clogs.

Areas We Serve

We’re local to the Main Line and nearby communities, including Wayne, King of Prussia, Gladwyne, Devon, Chesterbrook, Malvern, West Chester, and Phoenixville, as well as surrounding neighborhoods across Montgomery, Chester, and Delaware counties.

10/10 pipe seized on us on Friday night at 10:30 and Ray was at my house at 8am on the dot to Fix me up. He did not recommend anything we did not need. There’s not another plumber I will ever use. Ray is GREAT.

Nick was absolutely incredible! He worked so hard in the pouring rain to unclog our main pipe- he skillfully used every piece of equipment he could think of to remove a 3in wiffle ball from a 4in pipe. We are so grateful for his expertise and time. We would recommend him and this company to anyone who needs help. Professional, kind, patient and truly dedicated to the customer and their needs. Thank you Nick!

I've used this company twice now and both times they performed perfectly and quickly. The first time I had some leaks in the main water valve coming into the house and they repaired the shut off switches and has been leak free ever since. Then, this week I had water leaking in my basement in my HVAC room. The team was able to figure out it was a water heater leak, come to my house to analyze the fix, and install the new heater in only 3 hours from my initial call. Incredible service from this group, I highly recommend to anyone needing a reputable and responsive plumbing company.

FAQ About Pipe Relining Services

How do you decide if my pipe is a good candidate for relining?

To determine if your original pipe is a good candidate for relining, we perform a camera inspection first. If the host pipe is structurally sound and accessible, relining is usually a good option. Collapsed or severely deformed pipes may require excavation or replacement.

What’s the difference between pipe relining and pipe bursting?

Relining creates a new pipe wall inside the existing pipe, while bursting replaces the pipe by breaking the old one apart as a new line is pulled through. Both are trenchless options, but bursting is used when the old pipe can’t structurally support a liner.

How long does CIPP last, and what is the warranty?

Properly installed cured-in-place pipe can last 50 years or more. We provide a clear warranty on workmanship and materials so you know your investment is protected.

Will you need to dig to access the line for relining?

No, we don’t usually need to dig to access the line for relining. We typically work through existing cleanouts or manholes. In rare cases, a small access pit may be needed if no serviceable entry points exist.

Do you provide a camera inspection before and after relining?

Yes, we always inspect before to determine suitability and after to verify results and provide documentation of the finished work.
