SEWER LINE FAILING UNDER YOUR DRIVEWAY?

Trenchless Pipe Lining

THE SHORT ANSWER

Trenchless pipe lining, also called cured-in-place pipe, builds a new jointless pipe inside your failing one using existing access points, so the driveway, the patio and the south Louisiana oak stay where they are. Because the finished liner has no joints, it takes away the thing roots were growing into. Hargrave’s cameras the line first, tells you honestly whether it can be lined, and prices lining against excavation so you can compare two real numbers.

Dig it up, or line it?

Excavation, or trenchless lining?

Both fix a failing line. The difference is what happens to your yard, your drive and your schedule. We price both from the camera footage.

The old way: excavation

Trenchless lining

Your property

A trench the length of the run: lawn, drive, patio, tree roots.

Existing access points. Landscaping, concrete and trees stay.

Restoration

Concrete, sod and irrigation to put back, often a separate cost.

Very little to restore, which is where much of the savings comes from.

The finished pipe

New pipe with joints, which is where roots eventually return.

A jointless liner, so there is no joint for a root to enter.

Time on site

Longer, plus weather delays once the ground is open.

Shorter on most jobs, and the ground never opens.

When it is required

Collapse, a belly holding water, or Orangeburg pipe.

A host pipe that is damaged but still structurally there.

When we still dig: if the camera shows a collapsed section, a belly that holds water, or Orangeburg, there is nothing sound to line to and we will tell you that instead of selling you a liner that fails.

BOOK ONLINE

Camera first, both options priced · 24/7 emergency response.

Why lining suits Acadiana

Mature trees everywhere

The oaks that make these neighborhoods worth living in are also the roots in your sewer joints. A jointless liner ends that argument without taking the tree.

Clay soil and flat lots

Excavating in clay that holds water is slow and messy, and putting a flat yard back correctly is its own job. Lining skips both.

Concrete over everything

Drives, patios and slabs sit over most laterals here. Replacing concrete is frequently the largest line on an excavation quote and lining avoids it entirely.

How a lining job goes

You book
Online or by phone, 24/7. We confirm the window with you.
We clean and camera it
The line is jetted clean, then recorded end to end. Lining requires a clean host pipe, and the footage is what tells us if you have one.
You see both prices
Lining and excavation, priced in person against what the camera showed. The price you approve is the price you pay. Financing is available.
Lined, cured, verified
The liner is installed through existing access and cured in place, then we camera the finished pipe so you can see the new jointless line.

24/7 EMERGENCY · EVERY CALL ANSWERED

Backed up tonight? We open the line first, line it later.

The phone is answered at any hour. Getting your line flowing is the emergency; lining is the planned repair that stops it happening again.

Trenchless questions we get every week in Lafayette and Youngsville

How does a liner work?

A resin-saturated liner is pulled into your existing pipe through an access point and cured in place, forming a new jointless pipe inside the old one. Nothing gets dug up to do it.

Is it really cheaper than digging?

On a line under a driveway, a patio or mature trees, usually yes, because you are not paying to remove and replace concrete and landscaping. On a short shallow run through open lawn, excavation can win. We price both and show you.

How long does a liner last?

It is a jointless structural pipe inside your old one and manufacturers rate them for decades. The important part for Acadiana is the no-joints piece, because joints are how roots got in.

Can every pipe be lined?

No, and we will say so. A collapsed section, a belly that holds water, or Orangeburg pipe means there is no sound host pipe to line to. That is when digging is genuinely the better answer.
