KNOW THE WARNING SIGNS

RECURRING SEWER PROBLEMS?

Symptoms can have several causes. A camera evaluation helps document visible conditions and identify the next step.

  • Gurgling drains or toilets

    Gurgling may point to restricted flow or a venting problem, especially when several fixtures are affected.

  • Slow drains in multiple fixtures

    Several slow drains can indicate a restriction farther downstream, beyond a single sink or toilet.

  • Persistent sewer odors

    Dry traps, failed seals, venting issues, blockages, or damaged piping can cause sewer odors.

  • Water backing up

    Wastewater returning through tubs, showers, or lower fixtures can indicate a serious restriction.

  • Wet, unusually green, or sunken areas

    Yard changes have several possible causes and merit a check when near the sewer path, especially with odors or drainage problems.

  • The same clog keeps returning

    Recurring clogs may involve roots, buildup, or pipe defects; camera footage helps distinguish the cause.

Active backup? Limit water use and arrange prompt service.

A symptom is not a diagnosis. The issue may not be structural; inspection comes before recommending lining.

HOW CIPP WORKS

A NEW PIPE INSIDE THE EXISTING LINE.

For eligible sewer lines, cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) creates a new structural liner inside the existing pipe—often with less excavation than full-length replacement.

  1. EXISTING CONDITION

    Roots, cracks, or separated joints may affect an eligible sewer line.

  2. PREPARED PIPE

    Illustrative cutaway of the same host pipe after roots and deposits are removed from the interior; existing pipe-wall defects remain.

    The eligible pipe is cleaned and mechanically prepared. Conditions that need another repair path are addressed separately.

  3. INSTALLED STRUCTURAL LINER

BLUELIGHT LED CIPP TECHNOLOGY

MORE CONTROL BEFORE THE CURE. RAPID CURING AFTER PLACEMENT.

Trusted Trenchless uses the Bluelight LED CIPP system for qualifying sewer laterals and small-diameter drain lines. Its specially formulated resin is designed to remain workable until it is exposed to blue-wavelength LED light, giving the installation team more control during liner wet-out, placement, and pre-cure inspection.

After the liner is correctly positioned, the onboard system automatically controls the LED curing head’s pullback through the pipe. Under qualifying conditions, manufacturer-published performance information indicates that a 50-foot liner may be fully cured in under 12 minutes—up to five times faster than conventional curing methods.

That figure refers only to the liner-curing phase, not the total project. Camera evaluation, cleaning, preparation, access, liner installation, any required branch reinstatement, and final verification still determine the overall schedule.

EXTENDED WORKING TIME

The resin remains workable until the Bluelight LED curing process begins, reducing installation time pressure before the liner is permanently cured.

AUTOMATED PULLBACK

The onboard computer sets and controls the curing head’s pullback speed using the applicable job parameters.

INTEGRATED CAMERA

A camera built into the LED light head supports visual monitoring as the curing equipment travels through the installed liner.

PROVEN AT SCALE

Manufacturer-published information reports 500 systems in the field and millions of feet of Bluelight liner installed worldwide.

Performance and adoption figures are based on manufacturer-published information. Actual results vary by project, approved liner specification, and field conditions.

LONG-TERM CIPP PERFORMANCE
50+ YEARS

OF EXPECTED SERVICE LIFE

A NEW STRUCTURAL PIPE INSIDE THE OLD ONE.

A failing sewer line may already be decades into its service life before the first major problem appears. CIPP changes that equation by creating a new, continuous liner inside the existing pipe rather than asking the deteriorated host pipe to keep doing all the work.

NASSCO states that a properly designed, installed, and tested CIPP lateral has a minimum life expectancy of 50 years. U.S. EPA long-term evaluations of in-service CIPP have also produced results consistent with reaching the industry's typical 50-year design-life benchmark and potentially performing beyond it.

Bluelight's manufacturer likewise describes the finished liner system as having a service life of at least 50 years.

50+ YEAR EXPECTED LIFE

A properly designed, installed, and tested CIPP lateral is expected to provide at least 50 years of service under appropriate conditions.

STRUCTURAL RENEWAL

For qualifying projects, CIPP can be engineered as a fully structural stand-alone pipe-within-a-pipe rather than relying on a deteriorated host pipe for structural support.

CONTINUOUS + JOINTLESS

The cured liner forms a continuous, jointless pipe through the rehabilitated segment, eliminating the old pipe joints from the lined flow path.

PROVEN OVER DECADES

CIPP has been used for more than 50 years, and long-term field evaluations continue to support the industry's 50+ year design-life benchmark.

THE OLD PIPE CAN STAY. THE NEW LINER DOES THE WORK.

Instead of excavating and replacing an entire aging sewer line, qualifying CIPP projects can renew the damaged pipe from the inside—creating a new structural system designed to provide decades of additional service.

SEE HOW CIPP RENEWS YOUR SEWER LINE

Expected service life is an engineering and performance benchmark, not a guarantee of a specific lifespan. Actual performance depends on liner design, host-pipe condition, installation quality, use, maintenance, external loads, soil and groundwater conditions, and other project-specific factors. Service-life statements are based on published NASSCO guidance, U.S. EPA CIPP performance research, and Bluelight manufacturer information.

Why Trenchless

Restore the line
with less disruption

For eligible sewer lines, CIPP lining can often reduce the excavation required compared with full replacement. The right approach depends on camera findings, pipe condition, access, and the location of the damage.

01

Protect more of the property

When conditions allow, lining can preserve more of your lawn, driveway, patio, landscaping, and other finished surfaces.

02

Reduce project disruption

Many CIPP projects can be completed in less time than full excavation, depending on cleaning, access, curing, and branch reinstatement needs.

03

Limit restoration work

Less excavation may reduce the time and cost of replacing concrete, sod, landscaping, flooring, or other disturbed surfaces.

04

Rehabilitate the existing pipe

CIPP forms a continuous liner inside an eligible host pipe. Suitability depends on the pipe’s material, diameter, alignment, structural condition, and access.

Method Comparison

Trenchless vs. digging

CIPP lining and traditional excavation can both be appropriate, but they solve different pipe conditions. We use camera footage, access, alignment, slope, and structural condition to determine whether a line can be rehabilitated or should be excavated and replaced.

Trenchless CIPP
Traditional Dig
Property impact
For eligible lines, CIPP often uses existing or limited access and can preserve more of the yard, driveway, landscaping, flooring, and other finished surfaces.
Excavation opens the ground along the repair path and may require restoration of soil, concrete, landscaping, flooring, or other surfaces.
Time on site
Many projects can be completed in less time than full excavation, depending on cleaning, access, liner length, curing, and branch reinstatement.
Timing depends on excavation, utility locating, pipe replacement, inspections, backfill, and surface restoration.
Surface restoration
Less excavation may reduce restoration work, although a new access point or targeted excavation may still be needed.
Excavated areas generally require backfill and restoration after the pipe work is complete.
Finished repair
A continuous cured liner is installed inside an eligible host pipe.
The damaged section is exposed, removed, and replaced with new pipe and fittings.
Best-fit conditions
Often considered when the host pipe has suitable structure, alignment, diameter, and access for lining.
Often required for severe collapse, major displacement, significant pitch or alignment problems, or other conditions that do not qualify for lining.
Project cost
Cost is project-specific and may be lower when avoiding extensive excavation and surface restoration.
Cost is project-specific and is affected by depth, access, excavation length, permits, inspections, and restoration.

What To Expect

From evaluation to final documentation

Every project begins with understanding the pipe condition and access. The exact scope depends on camera findings, cleaning and preparation needs, liner length, curing method, branch connections, inspections, and any access work required.

1

Share the project details

Call or submit a request online with the property location, known symptoms, available sewer-scope footage or reports, and any information about pipe access. For an active backup, limit water use and let us know the situation is urgent.

2

Review & Qualify The Line

We review the available camera footage and inspect the pipe as needed to evaluate its material, diameter, alignment, structural condition, access, and repair area. This determines whether CIPP lining or another repair method is appropriate.

3

Define The Scope & Price

You receive a clear proposed scope and price based on the work required, which may include cleaning, preparation, lining, branch reinstatement, access work, inspections, and final documentation. Known variables and possible scope changes are explained before work begins. When a portion of the project requires a licensed trade contractor, the proposed scope identifies the responsible contractor, applicable permit path, inspections, and coordination responsibilities before work begins.

4

Prepare, Install & Cure

For an eligible line, the pipe is cleaned and prepared, the resin-saturated liner is installed, and the approved curing process is completed according to the defined project scope. Project timing varies, and some jobs may require more than one visit or limited excavation.

5

Verify & Document

After the work is complete, we perform a final camera review and provide before-and-after documentation. We also explain care instructions and any recommended follow-up.

Understanding Cost

What affects the cost of a sewer-lining project

Every project is priced from its actual scope. Camera findings, pipe dimensions, cleaning and preparation, access, branch connections, inspections, and any excavation or restoration needs can all affect the final price.

After the line is evaluated, we provide a project-specific scope and price. When CIPP avoids extensive excavation, it may also reduce related surface-restoration work, but the appropriate method and total cost depend on the property and pipe condition.
