CIPP Sewer Lining In Toronto
Our cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) lining service is a proven trenchless sewer repair method that restores damaged clay, cast-iron, or PVC sewer pipes without the mess and cost of excavation.
Using this no-dig pipe relining process, we create a seamless, jointless epoxy sleeve inside your existing pipe, bringing it back to full structural strength. The finished liner meets ASTM F1216 standards, resists root intrusion, and delivers a 50-year design life—making it a durable, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly alternative to open-trench sewer replacement in Toronto and the GTA.
Why CIPP Beats Dig-and-Replace
| Pain Point | How CIPP Solves It |
|---|---|
| Driveway, patio, or landscape at risk | Only two small access pits—no concrete demo or sod replacement |
| Busy streets & tight setbacks | No lane closures or heavy excavation equipment |
| Root-infested clay tiles | Liner bonds to host pipe, sealing out roots & groundwater |
| Toronto freeze-thaw stress | Flexible epoxy absorbs movement without new cracks |
Have a Broken Sewer or Drain Pipe in Toronto?
Our Proven Solutions
Traditional Excavation & Pipe Replacement
For severely damaged sections where lining is not viable, our team performs targeted excavation to expose the broken pipe. We carefully remove the damaged section, install new PVC or HDPE sewer pipe, and seal all joints with code-approved Fernco® rubber couplings. The repair is pressure-tested for integrity before the trench is backfilled and compacted. This method is ideal when complete pipe replacement is the most effective long-term solution.
Trenchless Sewer Lining & Repair
Using your existing clean-out access, our crew inserts an epoxy-saturated liner into the pipe, then cures it in place with hot air or steam under continuous CCTV camera guidance. The result is a seamless, jointless epoxy pipe inside your existing sewer line — completed without digging or property damage.
Our 4-Step Trenchless Pipe Lining Process in Toronto
Our proven cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) sewer lining process restores cracked or damaged sewer pipes without excavation, delivering a seamless epoxy liner that meets all City of Toronto and ASTM F1216 standards. Here’s how we do it:
Step 1 – CCTV Camera Inspection & Diagnosis
We begin with a high-definition CCTV drain camera inspection to map every crack, offset, and root intrusion. This lets us calculate the exact liner length and resin volume needed for your sewer lining Toronto project.
Step 2 – Milling & Hydro-Jet Cleaning
A rotating milling head removes scale, roots, and blockages from the host pipe. We then use 4,000-psi hydro-jetting to leave the interior spotless and ready for strong epoxy bonding.
Step 3 – Inversion & Liner Placement
Through your existing clean-out, we insert an epoxy-impregnated felt or fiberglass liner. It’s inverted or winched into place and pressurized against the pipe wall to ensure a tight fit along the full length of the sewer line.
Step 4 – Steam Cure & CCTV Verification
Super-heated steam (or UV light for smaller diameters) cures the liner in 60–90 minutes. A final CCTV inspection confirms a seamless, jointless, load-bearing new pipe before we restore service.

FAQs About Pipe Lining in Toronto
What is CIPP pipe lining and how does it work?
- CIPP (cured-in-place pipe) lining is a trenchless sewer repair method that creates a seamless epoxy pipe inside your existing sewer line. Our team inserts an epoxy-saturated felt or fiberglass liner through your clean-out, inflates it against the pipe wall, and cures it using steam or UV light. The result is a jointless, load-bearing pipe that lasts up to 50 years—without digging up your property.
When Do You Need CIPP Sewer Lining in Toronto?
You may need cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) lining if your sewer or drain lines show signs of structural damage but are still mostly intact. Common signs include:
Recurring clogs or slow drains even after snaking or hydro-jetting
Foul odors from your basement, floor drains, or yard clean-outs
Sewage backups into fixtures or floor drains during heavy rain
Visible cracks or root intrusion detected during a camera inspection
Corrosion or scaling in older cast-iron pipes
Leaks or seepage causing wet spots in your yard or basement
How long does sewer pipe lining take in Toronto?
- Most pipe lining Toronto projects are completed in about six hours from start to finish. This includes CCTV camera inspection, milling and hydro-jet cleaning, liner installation, curing, and final inspection. Larger or more complex jobs may take longer, but trenchless methods are still significantly faster than excavation
Is pipe lining better than sewer pipe replacement?
- In many cases, CIPP sewer lining is more cost-effective than excavation. It avoids damage to landscaping, driveways, and interiors while delivering the same structural integrity as a new pipe. However, severely collapsed or misaligned pipes may still require excavation. We always start with a CCTV inspection to recommend the best solution.
What types of pipes can be lined?
- We can line most clay, cast-iron, PVC, and concrete sewer pipes between 2″ and 12″ in diameter. CIPP lining works for residential, commercial, and municipal systems, and is effective against cracks, corrosion, root intrusion, and joint separation.
Is pipe relining in Toronto covered by city rebate programs?
- Yes. In many cases, CIPP sewer lining is eligible for the City of Toronto Basement Flooding Protection Program rebate, which can cover part of the cost. We provide all PACP inspection reports and ASTM compliance certificates required for rebate applications.
