What Is CIPP Lining for Old Sewer Lines?
CIPP (cured-in-place pipe) lining installs a resin-saturated liner inside your existing damaged pipe and cures it in place, forming a new pipe within the old one — no excavation required. This page focuses on the specific problem it solves most often in our service area: pre-1970s clay and Orangeburg pipe, which is common throughout the older housing stock in Augusta and Richmond County and is especially prone to cracking, offset joints, and root intrusion as it ages.
Why Pre-1970s Clay and Orangeburg Pipe Need CIPP
Clay pipe becomes brittle and joint-prone with age, and Orangeburg pipe (a tar-and-wood-fiber material common in mid-century construction) can deform or collapse over decades of use. Both create the exact kind of cracks and joint gaps that let tree roots in and let wastewater out. CIPP lining forms a new, jointless pipe wall inside the old one, sealing those failure points without digging up mature landscaping or a decades-old driveway. If a camera inspection shows the old pipe has collapsed or degraded beyond what a liner can bond to, we'll recommend Sewer & Water Line Excavation Repair instead.
