Avoiding trenches isn’t just a way to save your landscaping. It also reduces project time, which in turn minimizes disruption to your home or business. It’s cleaner and quicker, and with Mr. Rooter®, we’ll always recommend the best repair solution for your needs, including:
Cured-in-Place Pipelining (CIPP)
Rather than digging a trench and uprooting damaged pipes, CIPP pipelining works by inserting a flexible, resin-coated liner into the damaged pipe and then curing it in place. It seals all of those holes and cracks and will keep your pipes strong and functional for 50+ years.
Epoxy Pipelining
Epoxy pipelining is a CIPP method that inflates an epoxy liner inside the pipe before curing it in place. It’s a pipe within a pipe—minimum fuss, maximum durability.
Cast Iron Pipelining
If you live in one of Norfolk’s many historic properties, there’s a good chance you have cast iron pipes. Although strong, these pipes are prone to corrosion and can be difficult (and expensive) to clean, repair, and maintain. Cast iron pipelining is a convenient, low-cost solution that creates a new, hardened resin pipe within the old one to seal holes and cracks and strengthen the pipe.
UV Pipelining
UV pipelining, also known as UV CIPP, cures resinous pipes using UV light. It’s faster and more controlled, creating UV-resistant piping that should last for decades. The curing process takes just a fraction of the time of more traditional methods, greatly reducing downtime and ensuring everything is ready to go in minutes, not hours.
UV pipe protection is suitable for most pipes, but it’s critical in exposed pipelines, such as open industrial and municipal settings.

When Should You Choose Pipelining Services Instead of Pipe Replacement?
Pipelining is best suited to structurally sound pipes. It can repair cracks, holes, and corrosion—strengthening those pipes and keeping them functional for decades. For older pipes that have collapsed or were very poorly installed, a complete pipe replacement may be required.
How Long Does it Last?
Pipelining can last for at least 50 years, with properly maintained systems functioning for decades more. Ultimately, though, the lifespan will depend on the quality of materials and installation, as well as the local environment. Contact Mr. Rooter® for expert, long-lasting pipelining in Norfolk, VA.
