Your clay pipe is cracked, but it hasn't collapsed. That distinction matters, because CIPP lining works by inserting a resin-saturated liner inside the existing pipe and curing it into a new, smooth interior wall. It's not a patch over the problem, it becomes the new pipe.

Kettering Sewer Pros uses CIPP on the kind of intact-but-cracked clay lines common in postwar Kettering homes, where the pipe shape is still round but joints have opened or hairline cracks have let roots in.

How it works

How Our CIPP Pipe Lining Process Works

  1. Pipe Cleaning photo
    Step 1

    Pipe Cleaning

    The existing pipe is thoroughly cleaned to remove debris and prepare the surface for lining.

  2. Liner Measurement photo
    Step 2

    Liner Measurement

    Precise measurements ensure the liner fits the exact length and diameter of the pipe.

  3. Resin Saturation photo
    Step 3

    Resin Saturation

    The liner is saturated with resin to prepare it for insertion and curing.

  4. Liner Insertion photo
    Step 4

    Liner Insertion

    The saturated liner is inserted into the host pipe using air or water pressure.

  5. Curing Process photo
    Step 5

    Curing Process

    Heat, UV light, or ambient curing hardens the liner into a solid new pipe wall.

  6. Final Inspection photo
    Step 6

    Final Inspection

    A camera inspection confirms the cured liner is smooth and properly bonded.

Materials

Materials and Methods for CIPP Pipe Lining

  • Felt Liner Tubes photo

    Felt Liner Tubes

    Felt tubes form the structural base that holds the resin, sized to match each pipe run.

  • Epoxy Resin Blends photo

    Epoxy Resin Blends

    Resin blends provide strength and resist the soil acidity that shows up around older Kettering clay lines.

  • Inversion Equipment photo

    Inversion Equipment

    Inversion drums turn the liner inside out as it goes in, avoiding any need to dig up the pipe path.

  • Calibration Tubes photo

    Calibration Tubes

    Calibration tubes press the liner firmly against the pipe wall so there's no gap once it cures.

  • Heat Curing Units photo

    Heat Curing Units

    Heat sources speed up the cure, which keeps the job to a single visit .

  • End Seal Fittings photo

    End Seal Fittings

    Finishing fittings create a clean, watertight transition where the new liner meets existing plumbing.

FAQs

CIPP Pipe Lining FAQs

Will pipe lining work if my clay pipe is already crushed or collapsed?

No. CIPP needs the host pipe to hold a round shape so the liner can press against the wall and cure correctly. If the pipe has collapsed or badly deformed, pipe bursting is the method that applies instead.

How long before I can use my toilets and drains after CIPP lining?

Most lines can be put back into use once the liner has cured, which is typically a few hours after installation. The technician will confirm cure time before leaving.

What's the difference between CIPP lining and a spot repair patch?

CIPP lines the full length of the targeted pipe section and forms a continuous new interior wall. A spot patch addresses one localized area only and can be a lower-cost option when damage is limited to a single joint.

Is DIY pipe lining possible?

No. Liner saturation, insertion, and curing require specialized equipment and controlled timing that isn't something to attempt without training.

Does CIPP lining stop root intrusion for good?

Lining seals the cracks roots were entering through, which stops new intrusion at that location. If roots were only cut and the crack left open, they can return.
