Epoxy Coated Pipe Lining: A Long-Lasting Solution for Damaged Pipes

Aging, corroded, or leaking pipes can quickly turn into a major headache for homeowners and property managers. Traditional pipe replacement often means extensive digging, high labor costs, and long downtime. Fortunately, epoxy coated pipe lining offers a modern, trenchless alternative that restores pipes from the inside out—without the mess.

What Is Epoxy Coated Pipe Lining?

Epoxy coated pipe lining is a trenchless pipe rehabilitation method that involves applying a durable epoxy resin to the interior of existing pipes. Once cured, the epoxy creates a seamless, corrosion-resistant barrier that strengthens the pipe and restores proper flow.

This method is commonly used for:

  • Residential plumbing systems

  • Commercial and industrial piping

  • Sewer lines and drain pipes

Instead of removing and replacing damaged pipes, epoxy lining extends their lifespan and improves performance.

How the Epoxy Lining Process Works

The epoxy coated lining process is efficient and minimally invasive:

  1. Inspection and Cleaning
    The pipe is inspected using a camera to assess damage. Debris, corrosion, scale, and buildup are removed using specialized cleaning tools.

  2. Epoxy Application
    A high-quality epoxy resin is applied evenly along the interior of the pipe.

  3. Curing
    The epoxy cures and hardens, forming a smooth, jointless lining that adheres to the pipe walls.

  4. Final Inspection
    A post-lining camera inspection ensures the coating is properly applied and fully sealed.

The entire process can often be completed in one day, depending on pipe length and condition.

Benefits of Epoxy Coated Pipe Lining

Epoxy lining has become a preferred solution for many property owners due to its numerous advantages.

1. Trenchless and Non-Invasive

No digging through floors, walls, landscaping, or concrete slabs—making it ideal for occupied homes and commercial buildings.

2. Cost-Effective

By avoiding excavation and pipe replacement, epoxy lining significantly reduces labor and restoration costs.

3. Long-Lasting Results

Epoxy coated pipes can last 30–50 years, providing a durable and reliable solution.

4. Improves Sewer Flow

The smooth interior surface reduces friction, buildup, and blockages, often improving drainage.

5. Corrosion and Leak Resistance

The epoxy barrier seals cracks, root intrusion, and joint gaps while protecting pipes from future corrosion.

6. Environmentally Friendly

Less excavation means reduced waste and minimal disruption to surrounding structures.

When Is Epoxy Pipe Lining the Right Choice?

Epoxy coated lining is ideal for pipes that are:

  • Experiencing corrosion or rust

  • Developing small leaks or pinhole cracks

  • Clogged due to scale or buildup

  • Structurally sound but aging

It may not be suitable for pipes that have fully collapsed or are severely misaligned. A professional camera inspection helps determine if epoxy lining is the best option.

I am a first time homeowner and needed a new sewer line installed, heart stopping when I had no knowledge of such things. I called northeast sewer everyday for a week with questions and concerns. They televised my line and showed me exactly where the break was (pretty amazing) I could see it on the screen!! Fixed it in one day!!

Justin and Kelly are the owners, and they could not have been better to work with. I had a 120 year old BRICK (yes, brick) sewer line collapse and they diagnosed the problem, involved the city and fixed it for less than I was expecting to pay. I learned that they own and operate their own excavating equipment which means jobs are done more quickly and less expensively than others. I am a raving fan, and have already referred them out.

I want to thank the 2 gentleman who came last Friday morning and fixed my downstairs’ toilet. They knew what they were doing, not like some so-called professionals. They let you know what was going on. Very pleasant people to have working at your house. If I have a similar problem next time, I’m going to call Northeast Sewer & Drain first!
