Relining works well for pipes with cracks, small offset joints, root intrusion, and general deterioration, as long as the pipe hasn’t fully collapsed. Homes with older cast iron or clay sewer lines, common throughout New Orleans’ historic housing stock, are frequently good candidates because the underlying pipe shape is often still intact even after years of root intrusion or corrosion. A camera inspection is the only reliable way to confirm relining is the right fix rather than a section replacement.

What We Handle
Our Pipe Relining Services
Cured-In-Place Pipe (CIPP) Lining
- Full-length lining – A resin-coated liner is inserted and cured to form a seamless new pipe wall
- Spot repairs – Shorter liners target a single damaged section without relining the entire line
- Root barrier lining – The seamless liner leaves no joints for roots to re-enter
Pre and Post-Lining Services
- Camera inspection – Confirms damage location and extent before lining begins
- Hydro jetting preparation – Clears the pipe of debris and buildup so the liner adheres properly
- Post-installation verification – A final camera pass confirms the new liner is properly seated
Benefits of Pipe Relining Over Excavation
- No digging required in most residential cases
- Preserves mature trees, landscaping, driveways, and patios
- Faster completion than dig-and-replace, often in a single day
- Generally less expensive than full excavation and pipe replacement
- Liner is rated for decades of service life
- Smooth liner interior improves flow compared to aging cast iron or clay

Call 504-500-4709A properly installed CIPP liner is generally rated for 50 years of service life, comparable to new pipe installation.
Not on its own. Relining requires the original pipe to hold its shape enough to support the new liner during installation. A fully collapsed section typically needs a short excavation to replace that specific section before the rest of the line can be relined, or in some cases, pipe bursting is a better fit.
Most residential relining jobs, including camera inspection, jetting, and liner curing, are completed in a single day. Complex or longer lines may take a bit longer.
Slightly, since the liner adds a thin wall inside the existing pipe. In practice this reduction is minor and the smooth liner surface typically improves overall flow compared to an old, rough-walled cast iron or clay pipe.
