What to Expect During a Trenchless Pipe Repair Appointment

For many homeowners, sewer repair involves torn-up yards and costly excavation. Fortunately, trenchless pipe repair eliminates that stress. It’s a fast, clean, and effective way to restore damaged sewer lines—often in just one day.

If you’ve scheduled a trenchless repair with CPR – Complete Pipe Repair, here’s what you can expect from start to finish.

Step 1: Initial Inspection and Evaluation

Before any repair begins, our team performs a video pipe inspection to assess the condition of your sewer or drain line. This helps us confirm the location and severity of the issue and ensure trenchless repair is the right option.

We’ll review the footage with you and explain the next steps clearly so there are no surprises.

Step 2: Cleaning the Pipe

To ensure the new liner bonds properly, we thoroughly clean the existing pipe using hydrojet drain cleaning or mechanical methods depending on the buildup. This removes roots, grease, and debris that could interfere with installation.

This step also clears the way so the liner can be installed smoothly.

Step 3: Installing the Liner

We use a trenchless method called CIPP lining, which is short for cured-in-place pipe. A flexible liner coated with resin is inserted into the existing pipe and positioned precisely using air pressure or water.

Once it’s in place, we inflate the liner and let it cure. When finished, it forms a strong, seamless pipe inside your old one, without digging up your yard, sidewalk, or driveway.

Step 4: Final Testing and Clean-Up

After curing, we inspect the new liner to ensure everything is sealed correctly and water is flowing properly. We then clean up the area and walk you through the completed work.

There’s no debris, no trench to fill, and no need to bring in landscapers — just a working sewer line and peace of mind.

How Long Does It Take?

Most trenchless repair jobs are completed within one day. Some complex cases may take slightly longer, but you’ll know the timeline before we begin.
