Professional CIPP epoxy lining repairs cracked, corroded, and root-damaged drains without excavation. Keep your yard intact while enjoying pipes that last 50+ years.
Pipe relining is a trenchless repair method that fixes damaged pipes from the inside using CIPP (Cured-In-Place Pipe) epoxy technology. Instead of excavating your yard, we insert a flexible epoxy-saturated liner into the damaged pipe, inflate it, and cure it to create a seamless new pipe within the old one.
Perfect for Toronto's old homes with clay pipes, heritage properties where excavation isn't possible, and situations where landscape preservation is critical. Whether you have tree root intrusion, cracks, corrosion, or previous patch repairs failing, epoxy relining delivers permanent solutions. Call (647) 554-4356 for a FREE pipe inspection.
Your yard, landscaping, concrete, and patio stay completely intact. No digging, no mess, no disruption.
Relining costs $2,500-$8,000 versus $15,000-$25,000+ for excavation and replacement. Plus, no landscaping restoration bills.
Most jobs finish in one to two days. Fast curing epoxy means you're back to normal use immediately.
CIPP epoxy lining is engineered to last over 50 years. Most homeowners never need another repair after relining.
The smooth epoxy surface resists tree roots, corrosion, grease buildup, and mineral deposits. Better than the original pipe.
We use CCTV camera inspection to identify the exact damage location, extent, and best repair approach before work begins.
We follow a proven six-step process to ensure permanent, professional results
We insert a high-definition CCTV camera into your drain to assess pipe condition, identify damage type (cracks, root intrusion, corrosion), measure pipe diameter, and determine relining suitability. This 1-2 hour inspection costs $150-$200 and is deducted from your final service cost.
We clean the pipe thoroughly with high-pressure hydro jetting (4,000 PSI) to remove blockages, scale, grease, and debris. The liner won't adhere properly to dirty pipes, so this step is critical for quality relining. Cleaning takes 2-4 hours depending on pipe condition.
We insert the folded epoxy-saturated felt liner into the pipe, typically from the cleanest accessible clean-out. The liner unfolds as it travels through the damaged pipe, positioning itself for complete coverage of the interior pipe walls.
Once positioned, we inflate the liner with air or water pressure to push it firmly against the pipe walls. This ensures the epoxy contacts all damaged areas and creates a seamless, uniform new pipe interior. Pressure is carefully controlled to prevent over-expansion.
The epoxy cures through steam heating (most common) or UV light exposure depending on pipe type. Steam curing typically takes 4-8 hours and hardens the epoxy into a durable, pipe-like structure bonded to the original pipe walls. This creates permanent repair.
After curing, we insert the camera again to verify the relining is complete and structurally sound. We trim the epoxy at clean-out locations to ensure proper drainage and prevent blockages. The new pipe is ready for immediate use.

CIPP epoxy relining effectively repairs most common pipe damage types found in Toronto homes
Roots have penetrated the pipe creating blockages and cracks. We remove roots with hydro jetting, then seal the pipe with epoxy lining. The smooth surface is extremely resistant to future root re-entry, making this the best permanent fix.
Age, settling, or freezing has cracked the pipe. Epoxy relining seals all cracks from inside, creating a waterproof barrier and preventing infiltration, backups, and groundwater contamination. Works on clay, cast iron, or plastic pipes.
Old pipes (30+ years) have corroded from acidic soil or water chemistry. Instead of replacing, epoxy relining protects against future corrosion by creating a resistant barrier inside the damaged pipe. Cost-effective for extensive corrosion.
Previous patch repairs or spot fixes have failed, and recurring blockages or backups continue. Relining addresses the entire pipe length at once, not just patches, preventing repeat failures and permanent solution to recurring problems.
Pipe joints have separated allowing soil infiltration, roots, and water seepage. Relining seals joints from inside, preventing water loss, infiltration, and future problems at connection points without disturbing the joint area.
Minor sagging or misalignment (less than 45 degrees) can be sealed with epoxy. However, severe belly or complete collapse requires traditional replacement. We inspect to determine if your pipe qualifies for relining.
A small percentage of pipes aren't candidates for epoxy lining. These require traditional excavation and replacement:
Our camera inspection identifies which pipes qualify for relining. If your pipe doesn't qualify, we'll recommend the best alternative solution.
Perfect solution for Toronto's aging infrastructure and heritage properties
Homes in Cabbagetown, The Annex, Rosedale, and other older Toronto neighborhoods have clay sewer pipes installed 80-100 years ago. These are the #1 cause of backups and failures in Toronto. Epoxy relining restores clay pipes without excavation, ideal for tight lot sizes and proximity to neighbors.
Typical cost: $3,500-$6,500 for main sewer line relining in historic homes.
If your Toronto home is heritage-designated or in a conservation district, excavation for pipe replacement may require expensive restoration and heritage approval. Trenchless epoxy relining bypasses these headaches entirely while preserving your landscape and property character.
Perfect for: Properties with protected facades, interior gardens, mature trees, or heritage landscaping.
Mississauga, Brampton, and northern Toronto suburbs have mature tree canopies. Root intrusion into aging clay and cast-iron pipes is rampant. While hydro jetting is temporary (roots regrow in 2-3 years), epoxy relining is permanent. Root-resistant epoxy prevents 95% of future intrusion.
Pricing: $2,500-$8,000 depending on pipe section length and access.
Toronto's urban lots are often small with limited yard access. Excavation becomes complicated and expensive with tight lot constraints. Epoxy relining accesses pipes through existing clean-outs requiring minimal disruption, perfect for urban and semi-detached Toronto homes.
Common: Back lane homes, semi-detached properties, homes with finished basements.

Common questions from Toronto homeowners considering pipe relining
CIPP epoxy lining is engineered to last 50+ years. The epoxy creates a seamless, corrosion-resistant barrier inside the original pipe. Unlike patch repairs that fail in 2-3 years, epoxy relining is a permanent solution. Most homeowners never need another repair after relining.
Yes, significantly cheaper. Trenchless epoxy relining costs $2,500-$8,000, while excavation and pipe replacement costs $15,000-$25,000+. Add landscaping restoration ($5,000-$15,000), and excavation becomes 5-10x more expensive. Relining saves money and preserves your property.
Most residential pipes qualify for relining, but not all. Complete structural collapse, severe misalignment (>45 degrees), and extreme deterioration require traditional replacement. Our CCTV inspection determines suitability and recommends the best solution for your specific situation. Call for a free assessment.
Most projects complete in 24-48 hours. Initial CCTV inspection: 1-2 hours. Hydro jetting cleaning: 2-4 hours. Liner insertion and curing: 4-12 hours. Final inspection: 1 hour. We'll provide a project timeline specific to your pipe length and diameter after the initial inspection.
No. Epoxy relining is a trenchless technology. We access your pipe through existing clean-outs or create a small access point if necessary. Your landscaping, mature trees, concrete patio, and property remain completely intact. This is the biggest advantage over traditional excavation.
CIPP relining works on residential pipes from 2" to 8" in diameter. Most residential drains and lateral lines are 4-6", which are ideal candidates. Main sewer lines and larger pipes (8"+) can be relined with specialized equipment. Call to confirm your pipe size qualifies.
Yes, absolutely. CIPP epoxy is NSF/ANSI 61 certified for potable water applications. The material is inert, non-toxic, and meets Health Canada and Toronto water standards. You can use drinking water and hot water immediately after relining is complete. No waiting period needed.
We typically access through the most convenient existing clean-out (access point on your property). We insert the epoxy-saturated liner through the clean-out and guide it to the damaged section. This minimizes property disruption. For some situations, we may access through a basement drain or create a small access pit.
Yes. We first remove tree roots with high-pressure hydro jetting (4,000 PSI) or mechanical root removal. Once roots are cleared, we install epoxy lining. The smooth epoxy surface is highly resistant to future root re-entry, making this the best permanent solution to recurring root problems.
