Pipe Lining / CIPP Services
The superior alternative for repairing damaged sewer lines without excavation. Create a new pipe within your existing pipe using our state-of-the-art CIPP technology.
What is CIPP (Cured-In-Place Pipe) Lining?
Pipe lining, also known as Cured-In-Place Pipe (CIPP) lining, has become the preferred choice for Spokane homeowners looking for non-invasive sewer repair solutions. As a superior alternative to traditional repairs, this innovative technology creates a brand new pipe inside your existing damaged pipe.
How Pipe Lining Works
The CIPP lining process involves inserting a resin-saturated felt liner into the damaged pipe, then curing it to form a seamless, corrosion-resistant pipe-within-a-pipe. Here's our process at Kalin Excavation:
- We thoroughly clean and prepare the existing pipe using hydro jetting.
- Our team performs a detailed video inspection to assess the damage.
- We measure and prepare a custom felt liner, which is then saturated with epoxy resin.
- The liner is inserted into the damaged pipe and inflated to ensure it presses against the inner walls.
- The resin is cured using hot water or steam, hardening to form a new, seamless pipe.
- We perform a final video inspection to verify the quality of the installation.
- The service is restored with minimal disruption to your property.
Our Advanced CIPP Technology
In summer 2023, we expanded our lining capabilities by introducing the latest lining technology to better serve Spokane homeowners. This state-of-the-art equipment enables us to:
Line pipes directly from the basement, eliminating the need for extensive outdoor excavation
Offer enhanced flexibility in re-lining a wider variety of pipes, including those with multiple bends
Provide faster curing times, meaning your sewer system is back in service sooner
Ensure more precise installations with our advanced monitoring equipment
Ideal for Cracked Pipes
Pipe lining is perfect for repairing cracks, small breaks, and leaking joints in your sewer line without disturbing your property. The seamless liner seals all gaps and prevents further leakage.
Solution for Root Intrusion
Tree roots commonly infiltrate sewer pipes through small cracks or joints. Our CIPP technology creates a seamless, root-resistant barrier that prevents future root intrusion while restoring flow capacity.
The Benefits of CIPP Pipe Lining
Non-Invasive Repair Method
CIPP lining requires minimal excavation—usually just one or two small access points. This means your landscaping, driveways, patios, and other structures remain undisturbed.
Exceptional Durability
The epoxy resin liner creates a smooth, jointless pipe with a design life of 50+ years. The new liner is resistant to corrosion, root intrusion, and chemical damage.
Improved Flow Capacity
The smooth, seamless interior of the cured liner often improves flow capacity compared to old pipes with rough surfaces, joints, or partial blockages.
Cost-Effective Solution
By eliminating extensive excavation and restoration costs, pipe lining typically offers significant savings compared to traditional pipe replacement methods.
Rapid Installation
Most pipe lining projects can be completed in a single day, whereas traditional excavation and replacement can take several days or even weeks.
