What pipe diameters can be lined with CIPP?
CIPP lining is available for pipes ranging from 4 inches to 36 inches in diameter, and in some cases even larger. This covers everything from building laterals and branch lines to municipal sewer mains and storm drains.
How long does a CIPP liner last?
A properly installed CIPP liner is engineered to last 50+ years. The cured-in-place liner creates a seamless, jointless pipe within the existing host pipe with no weak points, joints, or connections to fail.
Will my facility need to shut down during pipe lining?
In most cases, no. CIPP lining is designed for minimal disruption. Hospitals, hotels, and commercial buildings typically stay fully operational during the lining process. We plan installations around your schedule — night work, weekends, and off-peak hours are all options.
How does CIPP compare in cost to traditional excavation?
CIPP typically costs 30–50% less than traditional dig-and-replace when you factor in the total project cost — excavation, surface restoration, traffic control, business interruption, and engineering. Use our ROI calculator above for an estimate based on your project specs.
What types of pipe can be lined?
CIPP can rehabilitate virtually any type of pipe material — cast iron, clay, concrete, PVC, ductile iron, corrugated metal, and more. The liner creates a new, independent structural pipe inside the old one regardless of the host pipe material.
Is CIPP approved by building codes and engineering standards?
Yes. CIPP lining is designed and installed in accordance with ASTM F1216 (the governing standard for CIPP) and is recognized by NASSCO, IAPMO, and most municipal building departments. Our contractors carry all required certifications and comply with local code requirements.
Do you serve municipal and government projects?
Absolutely. We work with cities, counties, water districts, and government agencies on everything from sewer main rehabilitation to storm drain lining. Our contractors are experienced with prevailing wage, NASSCO PACP reporting, and public bid requirements.
What does a CIPP Partners consulting engagement include?
Our consulting services cover the full lifecycle — pre-project assessment and CCTV surveys, liner engineering and spec design, contractor vetting, project oversight and QA/QC during installation, and ongoing capital planning. Whether you need a single assessment or long-term infrastructure advisory, we tailor the engagement to your facility and budget.
Do you offer financing for commercial pipe lining projects?
Yes. We partner with financing providers who specialize in commercial infrastructure projects. Options include 0% introductory financing for projects up to $75K, commercial lending for larger projects up to $2M+, and guidance on municipal grant programs and capital improvement funding. Don't let budget delay critical repairs — emergency backups cost 3–5x more than planned rehabilitation.
