CIPP (Cured-In-Place Pipe)
As experienced cured-in-place pipe liner contractors, we provide trenchless rehabilitation that restores structural integrity to damaged pipelines throughout Florida communities with minimal disruption. CIPP creates a seamless, jointless pipe within your existing infrastructure, extending service life by 50 years or more while eliminating infiltration points and restoring full flow capacity.
What Is Cured-in-Place Pipe Lining?
Cured-in-place pipe lining is a trenchless rehabilitation process that restores structural integrity to damaged pipelines without excavation. We insert a resin-saturated liner into the existing pipe, then cure it using heat to form a new, seamless pipe within the old structure. This method eliminates joints, cracks, and infiltration points while maintaining or improving flow capacity. Our crews line pipes ranging from 4" to 130" in diameter, making this solution ideal for both small lateral repairs and major line rehabilitation projects across Florida's unique soil conditions.
CIPP Applications and Project Types
Municipal Sewer Rehabilitation
CIPP sewer pipe lining creates a seamless barrier inside existing pipes, eliminating weak points and restoring full flow capacity. We work with municipalities throughout Tampa, Orlando, Ft. Lauderdale, and Miami to rehabilitate aging sanitary sewer systems without disrupting service. This type of trenchless pipe rehabilitation supports long-term planning by extending the service life of aging infrastructure without requiring complete pipe replacement or extensive excavation.
Stormwater System Restoration
Florida's stormwater systems face challenges from joint separation, sediment buildup, and pipe collapse that contribute to localized flooding and soil loss. Stormwater pipe rehabilitation with CIPP reinforces damaged lines from the inside, improving performance and sealing infiltration points.
Emergency Repairs
We offer emergency bypass pumping (link to new bypass pump page once published) and CIPP rehabilitation to keep service active even under emergency conditions, combining industry knowledge with expert techniques to deliver cured-in-place pipeline rehabilitation under active flow conditions.
