CIPP pipe lining (Cured-In-Place Pipe lining) is a trenchless sewer repair method used to restore damaged pipes from the inside without excavation. At Velocity Master Plumbing & Trenchless Solutions, we utilize advanced curing systems like the HammerHead Bluelight and LightRay LR3 to create a new, seamless pipe inside your existing line with precision and minimal disruption.

How CIPP Pipe Lining Works

CIPP pipe lining is a modern trenchless solution that rehabilitates underground sewer lines without digging.

The process includes:

  • Cleaning the pipe using hydro jetting
  • Inserting a resin-saturated liner into the existing pipe
  • Expanding the liner to fit tightly against the pipe walls
  • Curing the liner using advanced light or heat systems
  • Creating a new, durable pipe within the original line

This method restores structural integrity and improves flow without removing the existing pipe.

Solutions for Damaged Pipes Without Excavation

Traditional sewer repair often requires digging up landscaping, driveways, and structures. CIPP pipe lining eliminates that so that the Velocity Master Plumbing & Trenchless Solution team can repair your sewer pipes with minimal disruption because we have the trenchless solutions. 

This solution is ideal for:

  • Cracked or leaking sewer pipes

  • Minor structural damage

By installing a new pipe within the existing line, we provide a long-lasting repair without major excavation.

When CIPP Pipe Lining Is Recommended

CIPP lining is best suited for pipes that are damaged but still structurally stable.

It is commonly recommended when:

  • Pipes have cracks or leaks
  • Older infrastructure 
  • Aging pipes and sewer systems to prevent a back up 
  • Tree roots are entering the system
  • Pipes show signs of corrosion or wear
  • You want to avoid excavation and property damage when restoring your sewer system

A sewer camera inspection is used to determine if your pipe qualifies for lining.

CIPP Pipe Lining vs. Sewer Replacement

At Velocity Master Plumbing & Trenchless Solutions, we offer both trenchless and traditional excavation solutions.

CIPP Pipe Lining is ideal when:

Sewer Replacement is recommended when:

CIPP Pipe Lining FAQs

What is CIPP pipe lining?

CIPP ( Cured In Place Pipe Lining ) is a trenchless method that creates a new pipe inside an existing host pipe using a resin-saturated liner that is cured in place.

What makes Bluelight curing different?

Bluelight curing uses modern technology to harden the liner faster and more evenly than traditional methods, improving installation quality and reducing downtime.

How long does CIPP pipe lining last?

CIPP liners are designed to last 50+ years by ASTM-F1216 Standards

Is pipe lining better than excavation?

Yes, Pipe lining avoids digging and significantly reduces property disruption while still providing a long-term repair solution. Sometimes a small access point or points need to be excavated if an access point is not already available at your property, during our inspection we will review the job scope with you and let you know what this will look like for your property. 

How long does installation take?

Most projects can be completed in a single day, especially with advanced curing systems like Bluelight and LightRay LR3. The pipes and access points will need to be prepared for lining which can sometimes happen the same day or the day before the liner is installed.
