5 benefits of epoxy lining for sewer pipes

Replacing a sewer line used to mean bringing in a backhoe. Today, epoxy lining does the job better, without touching the property. Here are the five benefits our clients in Montreal and on the North Shore mention most often.

1. No excavation

The liner goes in through existing access points: manhole, floor drain, stack. Your paved driveway, garage slab and flower beds stay exactly as they are.

2. A service life of about 50 years

Once cured, the epoxy liner forms a self-supporting structural pipe that resists corrosion and abrasion. It is a lasting solution, not a band-aid.

3. Costs kept under control

For comparable work, lining generally costs less than traditional replacement, especially once you add up the excavation, the property restoration and the delays.

4. Improved flow

The inner wall of the liner is smoother than the original cast iron or concrete. Less friction, less build-up, fewer recurring blockages.

5. No more root intrusion

The continuous liner eliminates joints, the favourite entry points of roots and even rodents. That is the principle behind the anti-rat lining we install in urban areas.

The essential first step

Every project starts with a high-definition camera inspection: it confirms that your pipe is eligible for lining and gives you video proof of its condition. Request your quote, it is free.
