Trenchless Pipe Lining in Austin & Central Texas

CSC provides commercial trenchless pipe lining for eligible sewer and drainage systems where restoring the host pipe is more practical than open-cut replacement. Every lining scope starts with cleaning and CCTV assessment because a liner cannot correct a collapsed pipe, severe offset, missing section or improper grade. For suitable lines, the process creates a continuous new interior through the damaged run while reducing excavation, access disruption and restoration work.

Why contractors choose this service

  • ✓Reduces excavation through pavement, landscaping and occupied facilities
  • ✓Creates a continuous corrosion-resistant interior in an eligible host pipe
  • ✓Inspection-led design prevents lining pipe that requires excavation instead
  • ✓Pre-cleaning, CCTV assessment and post-install verification coordinated together
  • ✓Useful for commercial campuses, multifamily common systems and municipal assets

Common use cases

  • →Cracked or leaking commercial sewer laterals with stable alignment
  • →Root-entry joints after roots and deposits are removed
  • →Corroded cast-iron pipe that retains enough structure for lining
  • →Pipes beneath parking lots, slabs, drives and sensitive site improvements
  • →Localized sectional lining and longer continuous rehabilitation runs
  • →Capital rehabilitation programs supported by PACP condition data

On-site workflow

Our process

  1. 01

    Qualify the host pipe

    CCTV, measurements and access review determine whether lining is appropriate or whether collapse, grade, offset or missing pipe makes excavation the safer repair.

  2. 02

    Clean and install

    The pipe is cleaned and prepared to specification, the liner is installed and cured, and service connections are reinstated where the design requires them.

  3. 03

    Inspect and close out

    Post-install CCTV verifies continuity, reinstatements and final condition, with video and project documentation delivered for owner or engineer review.

  • Old clay lateral in Hyde Park, roots at every joint. They jetted it, ran the camera, and gave us a clean PACP-coded report the City accepted for the tap permit. No back-and-forth.

  • We were under contract on a 1940s commercial building in East Austin and the seller wouldn't budge on the sewer. Their inspection video showed a belly and two cracks - got $8k off the purchase price.

Pipe Lining FAQ

Frequently asked

What is trenchless pipe lining?

Trenchless pipe lining installs and cures a new interior within an eligible existing pipe, reducing the excavation and restoration needed for open-cut replacement. Commercial scopes may use continuous or sectional systems depending on the defect and access.

What pipe defects can trenchless lining repair?

Lining can address many cracks, leaking joints, root-entry points and corrosion conditions when the host pipe still has usable alignment and continuity. CCTV qualification is required before a lining method is selected.

What problems cannot be fixed with pipe lining?

A liner does not correct a collapsed pipe, missing section, severe offset, major deformation or improper grade. Those conditions usually require excavation or another structural repair, which is why inspection comes first.

Do you clean and camera the pipe before lining?

Yes. Roots, scale, grease and loose material must be removed, and CCTV must document diameter, defects, connections and access. The pre-lining footage is the basis for deciding whether the host pipe is eligible.

Can trenchless lining reduce disruption at an occupied property?

Often. Lining can avoid long trenches through parking, paving, landscaping or active facility areas. Access pits, service interruptions and reinstatements still vary by project and are defined before work begins.

How long does commercial pipe lining take?

Many individual runs can be prepared, installed and cured in one or two shifts after access and cleaning are complete. Larger systems, difficult preparation and multiple service connections require a phased schedule.

Do you inspect the pipe after the liner is installed?

Yes. Post-install CCTV confirms the liner is continuous, verifies service reinstatements and records the final condition. The closeout package can be organized for an owner, engineer or municipal reviewer.

How much does trenchless pipe lining cost?

Pricing depends on diameter, footage, defects, cleaning, access, reinstatements and cure method. Send existing CCTV footage or schedule a qualification inspection for a project-specific lining proposal.

How do I know your pipe lining findings will hold up with an owner or reviewer?

Every observation is coded to NASSCO PACP standards and delivered with the HD video, footage marks, and a written summary, so the owner's rep, engineer, or municipal reviewer can check the call against the footage instead of taking our word for it. NASSCO/PACP certified operators, 25+ years in Central Texas pipe work, and full commercial and municipal insurance with COIs issued the same day.

What do commercial clients say about your pipe lining work?

The reviews on this page come from general contractors, property managers, and municipal staff who hired us for pipe lining, averaging 5.0 out of 5 across 12 published reviews. Each one names the role and the type of job so you can judge whether it matches your site.

Do you provide pipe lining in Austin and the surrounding cities?

Yes. Trenchless Pipe Lining is one of our core commercial services across Austin and the metro, including Round Rock, Cedar Park, Georgetown, Pflugerville, Leander. We run out of Cedar Park and cover roughly a 100 mile radius of Austin, so crews reach most Travis, Williamson, and Hays County sites the same week and often the same day for emergencies.

How fast can a pipe lining crew mobilize to an Austin site?

Most Austin jobs are scheduled within one to three business days, with emergency mobilization available for active backups or shutdowns. Austin is about 20 miles from our yard, and neighboring cities such as Austin, Round Rock, Cedar Park are typically same-day reachable. Call (737) 618-0219 and we will confirm a window before you commit.

Can you handle traffic control and permits for pipe lining in Austin rights-of-way?

Yes. For work in Austin streets, alleys, and public easements we coordinate traffic control, provide certificates of insurance, and document the work so the City reviewer, the GC, or the owner's engineer can accept it. The same process applies in Austin, Round Rock, Cedar Park, Georgetown and other Central Texas jurisdictions we work in weekly.

Will your pipe lining reports be accepted by Central Texas municipalities?

Yes. Deliverables are NASSCO PACP coded with HD video, footage marks, still images, and a written summary, which is the format Austin area public works departments, engineers, and general contractors expect. We have delivered accepted reports across Austin, Round Rock, Cedar Park, Georgetown, Pflugerville and the wider Central Texas market.
