Overview
When CIPP Sewer Lining Beats a Dig in Orem
If your main sewer line is cracked, leaking, or compromised by root intrusion, sewer lining offers Orem homeowners a way to restore it without digging up the yard. Valley Plumbing, Heating & Cooling specializes in cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) lining that creates a seamless, durable new pipe inside your existing one—extending its life by decades.

How Main Sewer Lining Works
Sewer lining is a trenchless rehabilitation method that repairs your pipe from the inside out:
- Video inspection: We send a high-resolution camera through your sewer line to assess the type, location, and extent of the damage.
- Cleaning: The pipe is thoroughly cleaned using hydro jetting to remove roots, debris, and buildup.
- Liner insertion: A flexible liner saturated with epoxy resin is inserted into the pipe and positioned over the damaged area.
- Curing: The liner is inflated and cured in place using heat or UV light, bonding to the inside of the existing pipe.
- Final inspection: A follow-up camera inspection confirms the liner is properly placed and the line is flowing freely.
When to Consider Sewer Lining in Orem
- Cracked or fractured pipes: Small cracks and fractures can be sealed permanently with a liner.
- Root intrusion: Lining seals the joints and gaps where roots enter, preventing future intrusion.
- Aging pipes: Older clay or cast iron sewer lines common in established Orem neighborhoods are prime candidates for lining.
- Joint separation: Offset or separated pipe joints allow infiltration and leaks that lining can seal.
- Preventing future problems: Even pipes in fair condition can benefit from lining as a proactive measure.
Advantages Over Traditional Replacement
- No excavation: Your yard, driveway, and landscaping remain untouched.
- Faster turnaround: Most sewer lining jobs are completed within a day.
- 50+ year lifespan: CIPP liners are made from corrosion-resistant materials designed to outlast many original pipe materials.
- Seamless design: The continuous liner eliminates joints—the most common failure point in traditional sewer lines.
- Cost effective: Lower labor and zero restoration costs make lining a smart financial choice.

The Process
How a Sewer Lining Installation Goes in Orem
On the truck
Cable machine, jetter, and pipe camera — every call.
Camera scope diagnosis
We run a camera through the existing line first. You see the same monitor we do — cracks, roots, joint separations, pipe condition. We confirm whether lining is the right approach or whether something else (jetting, trenchless burst, excavation) is needed.
Hydro jet pre-clean
Liner installed over scale, grease, or roots fails fast. We hydro-jet the line clean before the liner goes in — sometimes adds a few hundred dollars to the job, but it's required for a successful install.
Permit and city coordination
Orem city requires a permit on sewer line work. We pull it, schedule inspection, and coordinate with the city sewer department on locate and tap details.
Liner pull and cure
Resin-saturated felt liner is pulled through the existing pipe via the cleanout, inflated against the pipe walls, and cured (steam, hot water, or UV depending on conditions). Liner becomes a new seamless pipe inside the old one. 4-6 hours typical install time.
Branch reinstatement and final scope
Where toilets, kitchen lines, or other branches tie into the main, we use a robotic cutter to reinstate those connections through the new liner. Final camera scope verifies the install. Most Orem lining jobs wrap same-day.

| Time on site | 1 day | 1-2 days | 2-4 days |

FAQ
Main Sewer Lining FAQs in Orem
$85–$250 per linear foot for residential 4" pipe. A typical Orem cleanout-to-street-tap run is 30-40 ft, which puts most jobs at $3,500–$7,500 all-in (lining, hydro jet pre-clean, branch reinstatement, permit, camera scope). Longer runs in Foothill or Suncrest can hit $7,500–$15,500. We quote flat-rate after camera scope.
