I had a forty feet of old clay sewer line re-lined. The process is called Cured In Place Plastic (CIPP). The liner is (somehow) saturated with resin and unrolled into the line, then a balloon is (somehow) unrolled into the line and inflated, pressing the liner tight against the existing pipe. The balloon is withdraw and the liner cures.. In the sewerscope, it looks great! Smooth, seamless, sexy. I’ve never been so turned on by a sewer line before. They can send a tool down to cut openings for connections. Cost $8,000. I expect would be less in most areas. The bid to excavate and replace was $26,000 including closing the street. I’ll be doing my house’s sewer line next. Old, clay, sections separated.
