Your Licensed Pipe Lining Company
Drain Pros is a fully licensed and insured pipe lining company, not a crew guessing at what your pipe needs. Every technician we send out is trained and background-checked and equipped to determine whether pipe lining is the right fit for your specific damage before we quote any work.
As a licensed pipe lining contractor, we use materials and techniques that meet code requirements, and our team carries insurance to protect your property throughout the process. We provide pipe lining services throughout Ventura County, the San Fernando Valley, and Santa Clarita, for sewer lines, drain lines, and storm drain systems alike.
Our approach starts with a camera inspection, not an assumption. Before recommending pipe lining, we confirm the exact type, location, and severity of the damage. If your pipe has damage too extensive for lining, such as a full collapse, we’ll tell you honestly and walk you through your options rather than recommending a method that won’t hold up long-term.
When you hire Drain Pros, you’re hiring a pipe lining company that diagnoses first, then repairs.
What to Know Before You Book Pipe Lining Service
Pipe lining is one of the most versatile trenchless repair methods available, but it isn’t the right fit for every situation. Here’s what to know before booking a pipe lining service.
What Is Pipe Lining?
Pipe lining is a trenchless repair method where a new lining is installed inside an existing damaged pipe. Instead of digging up the pipe to replace it, the lining seals cracks, small breaks, and root intrusion points from the inside, restoring the pipe’s structural integrity without excavation. Once in place, the lining essentially functions as a new pipe within the old one, significantly extending the life of the line.
This trenchless pipe lining approach works across sewer lines, drain lines, and even storm drain systems, making it one of the most widely applicable no-dig repair methods available.
Signs Your Pipe Is a Good Candidate for Lining
Not every damaged pipe needs full replacement. These signs often point to lining as a realistic, effective solution:
- Minor to moderate cracks along the pipe
- Small breaks or fractures that haven't caused a collapse
- Root intrusion that has infiltrated the pipe but not destroyed its structure
- A pipe that's structurally sound overall but deteriorating from corrosion or age
- Recurring leaks or backups from a specific, identifiable section of pipe
A pipe that has fully collapsed or has a severe belly (a low, sagging section) generally isn’t a good candidate for lining, since lining reinforces an existing pipe shape rather than correcting a structural sag.
Pipe Lining vs. Pipe Replacement
Pipe lining and full pipe replacement solve different levels of damage. Lining works from inside the existing pipe, sealing cracks and restoring strength without digging up the ground above it, making it faster and less disruptive to your property. Full replacement, whether through traditional excavation or trenchless pipe bursting, becomes necessary when the pipe is too deteriorated, collapsed, or structurally compromised for lining alone to fix.
In most cases, if your camera inspection shows isolated or moderate damage, lining is the more cost-effective and less invasive choice. If the damage is extensive across most of the pipe’s length, replacement is usually the more reliable long-term solution.
Types of Pipe Lining We Offer
Not all pipe lining is the same, and the right type depends on the extent and location of the damage in your line.
- CIPP (Cured-in-Place Pipe) Lining: Uses a resin-saturated liner inserted into the damaged pipe and cured in place, forming a durable new pipe within the old one.
- Best for longer damaged sections: The resin liner adapts to the shape of the existing pipe as it cures, making it well suited to runs with multiple problem areas.
- Minimal disruption: Installed through one or two small access points, without digging up the length of the line.
The payoff is fewer callbacks, fewer surprise backups, and a system that stays reliable for years, not months.
CIPP is often our preferred method for longer or more extensively damaged sections, since it restores the full pipe rather than just patching one spot.
Pipe Lining vs. Pipe Bursting
Both are trenchless methods, but they solve different problems. Pipe lining repairs the existing pipe from within, sealing cracks and small breaks while keeping the original pipe structure intact. Pipe bursting, by contrast, fully replaces the pipe by breaking apart the old one and pulling a new pipe into place in a single pass.
Lining is generally the less invasive and more cost-effective option when your pipe qualifies. Bursting becomes the better choice when the pipe is too damaged to simply line, such as a severely deteriorated or partially collapsed line. Our camera inspection tells us which approach fits your specific situation.
How Much Does Pipe Lining Cost?
Pipe lining cost depends on the pipe’s length and diameter, the material involved, and the severity of the damage found during inspection. A short section of drain pipe lining is a very different scope of work than a longer run of sewer pipe lining or a full CIPP application, which can involve different material and labor costs than a simpler epoxy lining approach.
We don’t publish flat pricing because it wouldn’t be accurate for most projects. The most reliable way to get an accurate number is a free camera inspection, after which we provide a clear, itemized quote before any work begins.
Where We Use Pipe Lining
Pipe lining isn’t limited to sewer lines. This versatile trenchless method works across storm drains, water mains, industrial pipelines, and more; offering a cost-effective, minimally invasive way to repair pipes without excavation.
Sewer Pipe Lining
For damaged sewer lines, pipe lining seals cracks and root intrusion points from the inside, restoring flow and structural integrity without excavating your yard. It's a core part of our trenchless sewer repair offering, whether for a single-family home or a commercial property.
Drain Pipe Lining
The same lining method applies to damaged drain lines, including older cast iron drain pipes that are especially prone to corrosion and cracking over time. Lining restores these older lines without excavating and replacing them entirely.
Storm Drain & Stormwater Pipe Lining
Pipe lining can also repair storm drain and stormwater lines, restoring damaged sections without excavating yards, driveways, or municipal rights-of-way and minimizing disruption to larger drainage systems.

Liner Insertion
We carefully insert the new resin liner into the damaged section of pipe.
Curing & Setting

Final Camera Check & Follow-Up
We run a final inspection to confirm the lining set properly, then answer questions.
Pipe Lining FAQs
Have questions about pipe lining? It’s a method most homeowners haven’t dealt with before, so below are answers to the ones we hear most often.
A properly installed pipe lining can last several decades, comparable to a new pipe, as long as the original pipe was a good candidate for lining in the first place.
Yes, in most cases. Once cured, the liner functions as a new interior pipe surface and holds up similarly to a newly installed pipe under normal conditions.
Pipe lining works on most common pipe materials, including clay, cast iron, and PVC. A camera inspection confirms whether your specific pipe and damage type are a good fit.
Lining adds a thin layer inside the existing pipe, which causes only a minor reduction in diameter that rarely affects flow in a typical residential or commercial line.
In most cases, yes, especially once you factor in the excavation and property restoration full replacement often requires. The exact comparison depends on your specific pipe and damage.
Yes, for urgent situations where a damaged line needs immediate attention, we offer emergency pipe lining as part of our broader 24/7 availability.
