Signs Your Sewer Line Needs Attention

  • Multiple drains in the home backing up simultaneously
  • Gurgling sounds from toilets and drains, particularly after flushing or running water
  • Persistent sewage odors inside or outside the home
  • Lush, unusually green patches of grass in the yard above where the sewer line runs
  • Soggy or soft spots in the yard without a corresponding weather event
  • Slow drains throughout the home that don’t respond to standard clearing
  • A sewage backup coming from any fixture in the home

Pipe Lining in Wilson, NC

Pipe lining, also called cured-in-place pipe (CIPP), is Prostar’s preferred trenchless repair method for sewer lines that are cracked, leaking, or suffering root intrusion but remain structurally intact enough to serve as a host for the liner. A flexible liner saturated with epoxy resin is inserted into the damaged pipe, inflated to conform to the interior, and cured in place. The result is a new, seamless pipe within the old one that seals cracks, closes separated joints, prevents root intrusion, and improves flow capacity.
Properly installed pipe liners typically last 50 years or more. Most residential jobs are completed in a single day. Pipe lining is well-suited for:

  • Pipes with multiple cracks or leaking joints
  • Root intrusion that recurs and can’t be managed through cleaning alone
  • Older clay, cast iron, or concrete pipes that are deteriorating but still hold their shape
  • Properties where excavation would cause significant damage to landscaping, driveways, or structures above the pipe

Why Trenchless Beats Traditional Excavation for Most Homeowners

  • Your yard, driveway, landscaping, and hardscaping stay largely intact rather than being dug up and restored after the repair
  • Most trenchless jobs are completed in one to two days rather than the multi-day process of traditional excavation
  • Total project cost is often lower when you factor in the cost of restoring excavated areas
  • Modern lining materials like CIPP are highly durable and resist root intrusion, ground shifting, and corrosion
  • The seamless pipe-within-a-pipe that lining creates eliminates the joints where roots typically enter, which is the most common cause of recurring sewer blockages

Sewer Video Inspection in Wilson, NC

Before recommending any repair method, Prostar conducts a camera inspection of the sewer line to see exactly what’s happening inside the pipe. The camera identifies the type and location of damage, the condition of the pipe walls, the extent of root intrusion, and whether lining or bursting is the more appropriate solution. This step eliminates guesswork and ensures the repair method we recommend is actually suited to what your line needs.

Pipe Bursting in Wilson, NC

When a sewer line has collapsed, severely deteriorated, or the pipe material has failed to the point where it can no longer serve as a host for lining, pipe bursting provides complete replacement without a trench. A bursting head is pulled hydraulically through the existing pipe, fracturing it outward while simultaneously pulling a new high-density polyethylene pipe into place behind it. The new pipe offers excellent durability, root resistance, and improved flow capacity. Pipe bursting is used when lining is not feasible due to the extent of the damage.

Trenchless Sewer FAQs for Wilson, NC Homeowners

How long does trenchless sewer repair take?

Most residential trenchless jobs are completed in one to two days. Pipe lining typically runs faster than pipe bursting. The exact timeline depends on the length of the line, the method used, and the condition of the pipe. We’ll give you a realistic estimate after the camera inspection.

How long does pipe lining last?

A properly installed CIPP liner is designed to last 50 years or more. The epoxy resin cures to create a structurally independent pipe within the existing one, meeting or exceeding the strength standards of new pipe materials.

Can trenchless methods work on any type of pipe?

Most common residential sewer pipe materials, including clay, cast iron, concrete, and older PVC, are good candidates for trenchless repair. The key factor is that the pipe must retain enough structural integrity to serve as a host for the liner. Our camera inspection determines whether lining is appropriate or whether bursting is the better option.

Will pipe lining reduce the diameter of my sewer line?

The liner adds a small amount of wall thickness to the interior, which slightly reduces the inner diameter. However, because the smooth interior surface improves flow compared to a cracked or root-infiltrated pipe, the effective flow capacity typically improves after lining despite the minor reduction in diameter.

What's the difference between pipe lining and pipe bursting?

Pipe lining creates a new pipe inside the existing one and is used when the host pipe is damaged but still holds its shape. Pipe bursting completely replaces the pipe by fracturing the old one outward and pulling a new pipe into its place. Bursting is used when the existing pipe has deteriorated or collapsed beyond the point where it can host a liner.

How do I know if I need trenchless repair or just drain cleaning?

A camera inspection tells us definitively. Recurring drain backups that respond to cleaning but keep coming back often indicate structural pipe issues or root intrusion that cleaning alone won’t permanently fix. If you’ve had your sewer line cleaned multiple times in recent years without lasting results, an inspection is the right next step.
