CIPP Relining
Econo Seal has been keeping a wide variety of customers up and running for over 28 years. Through a strategic partnership, we are proud to offer CIPP (cured-in-place) pipe relining to our heavy industrial, commercial and industrial customers. As always, we are offering a niche service to save you downtime, excavation costs and most importantly, money versus conventional replacement. We excel at the small to medium jobs the big players aren’t necessarily interested in. We offer both structural and non structural repairs and can extend the life of your infrastructure for years to come. The beauty of this service is using the existing pipe as a form for the new lining. This is a “trenchless” repair that has a multitude of advantages, greatly reducing your carbon footprint by reutilizing the existing failed pipe. Damage to your roads, foundations and flatwork is eliminated. We offer you every step from identifying the problem, to installing the liner.
How it Works
Your old pipe is robotically inspected with a detailed report as to its condition. Any obstructions, buildup and debris are removed through mechanical means, robotic means or hydro jet cleaning. An appropriate composite liner for your application is prepared with one of several resins best suited to your application. The liner is forced (shot) into your pipe by various means depending on the application. The liner is expanded to your existing pipe’s inside diameter and then cured by the method required by its composition: heat, chemical crosslinking or ultraviolet light.
Relining Sewer Line

Relining Cast Iron Drain Line
Relining of a decades old cast iron drain line that had cracked and failed at a historic St. Louis Hotel.
Relining Overhead Line
12″ overhead line in the basement of a historic hospital. This line was 100 ft and rehabilitated with the CIPP process.
Relining Steam Inversion Line
4″ steam inversion line in a residential basement. Cast iron to PVC transition.
Roof Drain Restoration
Restoration of roof drains at a hotel, a simple solution to a major problem.
Frequently Asked Questions:
A: The liner can be engineered to be structural. A good rule is if the original pipe was designed to take inward force, for example being buried under a road, the new liner will be designed accordingly.
A: This is an ever-evolving industry. All of our resins are 100% solids. We avoid any materials that off-gas solvents. We have BPA free or very low content formulas available for drinking water “potable” water applications.
A: We perform a “robotic reinstatement”. A robotic piece of equipment will travel to the branch and make a precision cut to open the existing branch.
A: No, the liner is very thin, having a “low energy” surface that actually increases flow, offsetting the loss in inside diameter.
A: New generation socks have excellent flexibility without bunching.
