A cracked or leaking sewer line under your property does not have to mean destroying your driveway or flooring. At SewerTV Hydro Jetting and Plumbing, we offer an advanced, non-invasive alternative to traditional digging. Our trenchless pipe lining in San Antonio installs a durable, seamless structural liner inside your existing pipes to seal cracks, stop leaks, and block root intrusion without digging a single trench.
Trenchless pipe lining is a modern method of pipeline rehabilitation. Instead of digging up the entire length of an underground sewer line to replace it, our technicians access the pipe through a single existing cleanout.
We insert a flexible liner saturated with a specialized epoxy resin directly into the old pipe. Once in place, we inflate the liner so it presses tightly against the interior walls. As the resin cures, it hardens into a smooth, seamless, and structurally independent pipe inside your old one.
Different plumbing systems present unique structural challenges. Consequently, we tailor our solutions for various local property needs:
Many homes in our area are built on heavy concrete slabs. If a main drain pipe cracks beneath your foundation, trenchless lining allows us to repair it without jackhammering through your floors.
If you have invested heavily in mature trees, custom stone walkways, or expensive driveways, our single-access-point method preserves your hard work and saves you thousands in yard repairs.
A torn-up parking lot or closed entryway can seriously hurt your business. We complete our no-dig pipe relining quickly, keeping your doors open and your customers happy.
As local cast iron and clay sewer systems age, they become vulnerable to groundwater pressure and shifting soil. Our no-dig structural lining is the ideal fix for these issues:
Trenchless lining isn’t the right fix for every pipe issue. Here’s the rest of what we handle:
High-pressure water blasting that clears heavy grease, scale, and root intrusions to restore your sewer lines to like-new condition.
Rapid-response, 24/7 assistance for sudden pipe bursts, slab leaks, and severe sewage backups to protect your property from water damage.
Fast diagnostics and troubleshooting for traditional systems, tank flushing, and energy-efficient tankless water heater installations.
Custom-engineered exterior drainage solutions designed to redirect pooling rainwater and protect your foundation from shifting clay soils.
Advanced mechanical drain snaking paired with high-definition camera inspections to instantly clear stubborn household blockages.
Professional underground structural remediation addressing collapsed or severely degraded mainlines to restore complete wastewater flow safely.
Advanced acoustic and thermal imaging diagnostics used to pinpoint hidden moisture sources beneath concrete slabs or inside walls.
Immediate mechanical isolation and physical replacement of ruptured water supply lines to prevent catastrophic flooding and property loss.
High-definition visual assessments of subterranean pipe interiors to accurately map root intrusions, structural fractures, and severe blockages.
At SewerTV Hydro Jetting and Plumbing, we use specialized equipment to ensure your liner cures perfectly and matches the exact dimensions of your pipe.
We run an HD sewer camera through the system to measure the pipe's exact length and locate any offset joints or breaks.
We use hydro jetting and mechanical tools to strip away rust, scale, grease, and tree roots, returning the pipe back to its original diameter.
We saturate a custom-cut felt liner with a high-strength epoxy resin mixture on-site.
Using air or water pressure, we push the saturated sleeve into the old pipe and inflate it against the pipe walls.
Once the resin cures into a solid, durable pipe, we pull the bladder out and run our camera one last time to confirm a flawless, seamless finish.
We ensure your residential or commercial pipeline restoration is handled correctly from start to finish. Our standard trenchless lining service includes:
Pricing depends on pipe length, diameter, and how much prep work (like hydro jetting) is needed before the liner goes in. While trenchless lining typically costs more upfront per foot than a simple patch, it usually costs less overall than traditional excavation once you factor in landscape and driveway restoration. See our full Trenchless Sewer Repair Cost Guide for 2026 pricing details.
Opting for cured-in-place pipe lining over traditional excavation saves you time and prevents landscape reconstruction costs:
We bypass the need to dig trenches through your driveway, patio, flowerbeds, or concrete slab foundation.
The epoxy resin formula creates a structural pipe that is highly resistant to chemical wear, scale buildup, and ground shifts.
Because the new liner is completely seamless, tree roots have no joints or gaps to penetrate.
The smooth interior of cured epoxy reduces friction, allowing waste to flow freely and preventing future grease buildup.
We reject generic industry shortcuts. Our team brings advanced trenchless technology and deep local expertise to protect your property from costly foundation and pipe structural failures.
No hidden fees, fine print, or high-pressure upsells, just clear options and reasonable prices before work begins.

| Service Metric | Trenchless Epoxy CIPP Lining | Traditional Sewer Excavation |
|---|---|---|
| Digging Required | Minimal (uses single cleanout) | Extensive (trenches cut across property) |
| Average Project Time | 1 day (most residential jobs) | 3 to 7 days of heavy construction |
| Landscape Recovery Cost | $0 (your yard remains untouched) | $1,500 to $8,000 (re-sodding, concrete, asphalt) |
| Average Pipe Lifespan | 50+ years (highly resistant to roots) | 30 to 50 years (joints remain vulnerable) |
| Joint Seams | None (continuous, seamless sleeve) | Multiple joints (susceptible to root leaks) |
Modern epoxy liners are designed to be incredibly durable. Our structural epoxy resin systems are laboratory-tested to last for at least 50 years, providing a long-term solution that matches or outperforms brand-new PVC.
No. To install a structural liner, the original pipe must still retain its basic shape. If a section of your sewer line has completely collapsed or flat-lined, we must perform a localized spot excavation first to replace that broken section before relining the rest of the pipe.
The epoxy liner is very thin (typically only a few millimeters thick) so the reduction in the pipe's physical diameter is incredibly minor. Because the new interior is extremely smooth, the reduction in friction actually improves flow and prevents waste from snagging.
Yes, we use specialized, food-grade epoxy resin formulations designed specifically for drinking water lines. These epoxies are fully certified to meet safety standards and will not leach chemicals into your water supply.
In most cases, trenchless lining still requires a standard plumbing permit even though no excavation is involved, since it affects the sewer line's structure. We handle the permitting process as part of every project so you don't have to navigate it yourself.
