Trenchless Sewer Repair in Las Vegas, NV
When a sewer line is cracked, leaking, or invaded by roots—but still basically holding its shape—trenchless pipe lining can be a powerful option. Instead of excavating the whole run, we install a resin-saturated liner inside the existing pipe and cure it in place, creating a new “pipe within a pipe”. Active Plumbing provides trenchless sewer repair (pipe lining) in Las Vegas, Henderson, North Las Vegas, Summerlin, and nearby communities—helping protect your concrete, landscaping, and hardscape while restoring reliable sewer service.

✓ Licensed local pros: Honest guidance on when lining is smart—and when replacement is better.
✓ Less digging, less mess: Trenchless sewer repair minimizes open trenches and surface demolition.
✓ Great under concrete & landscaping: Ideal for lines under driveways, patios, pool decks, and mature yards.

What our Clients think about us
Your satisfaction is our priority.
What Is Trenchless Sewer Repair (Pipe Lining)?
Trenchless sewer repair (pipe lining)—often called CIPP (cured-in-place pipe)—is a way to rehabilitate an existing sewer line from the inside, using it as a host pipe. In general, the process:
Cleans and prepares the existing sewer pipe.
Installs a flexible liner saturated with resin into the line via an access point.
Inflates the liner (usually with air or water) so it presses against the inner wall of the old pipe.
Cures the liner in place, hardening it into a new, structurally strong inner pipe.
The result is a smooth, jointless, corrosion-resistant inner surface that can seal leaks, block root entry, and improve flow, while leaving most surfaces above the pipe undisturbed.
Why Choose Active Plumbing
Condition-first evaluation: We start with a full-length camera inspection to see if your sewer is actually a good candidate for lining.
Honest comparison: We offer trenchless, spot repair, and full replacement—so we can recommend what truly fits your line and budget.
Surface-conscious planning: We understand the cost of driveways, decorative concrete, and landscapes, and design solutions to protect them where possible.
Full-service sewer pros: Because we handle diagnostics, repair, replacement, and lining, we’re not locked into a single method.
Licensed & insured: Nevada License #0047021, trusted by homeowners, HOAs, and businesses in the Las Vegas valley since 1991.
Immediate Actions (What to Do Now)
Note how often your main sewer backs up, and which fixtures overflow first (tubs, showers, floor drains).
Gather any sewer camera reports or video links you already have for the property.
Look at what’s built over the sewer route—driveway, patio, pool, walkways, or landscaping.
Hold off on approving lining or full replacement until the line has been camera-inspected end to end.
Call Active Plumbing at (702) 438-3357 and ask about trenchless sewer repair (pipe lining); let us know whether you already have camera footage or prior repair quotes.
Common Situations Where Full Sewer Line Replacement Makes Sense
Frequent roots in an otherwise intact line: Roots enter through older joints and small cracks, but the pipe still has basic structural integrity.
Sewer line under expensive hardscape: The line runs beneath driveways, patios, pool decks, or walkways, making full excavation messy and costly.
Multiple minor cracks and leaks: Camera inspection shows numerous defects along the line, but not long stretches of total collapse.
Tight access properties: Homes or buildings where open trenching would be extremely disruptive or constrained.
Long-term hold properties: You plan to keep the property and want a durable, lower-maintenance sewer solution without rebuilding the yard.
Hybrid projects: A small collapsed area is excavation-repaired, and the rest of the line is protected with a liner.
Assessment & Camera Inspection
We review your sewer history and perform a full camera inspection of the line, looking for collapses, severe sags, offsets, and overall pipe shape. We confirm whether trenchless lining is appropriate, or if traditional repair/replacement is the better choice.
Line Cleaning & Preparation
If lining is viable, we thoroughly clean the line—removing roots, sludge, and scale using appropriate tools (cabling, descaling, or jetting as needed). A properly prepped host pipe is critical to liner performance and adhesion.
Access Setup & Liner Planning
We determine which cleanouts or small excavation points we’ll use for insertion and retrieval, then measure the line carefully. We select and prepare a resin-saturated liner, sized and cut for the length and diameter of your sewer run.
Liner Installation & Inflation
The liner is inserted into the sewer line and then inflated (with air or water) so it presses firmly against the host pipe. This step ensures the liner conforms to bends, joints, and interior walls, sealing defects as it sets in place.
Curing & Reinstatement
We cure the liner in place using the appropriate method for the system (time, hot water, steam, or light). Once cured, we trim access points and reinstate any necessary internal connections—ensuring normal flow from your home or building into the newly lined section.
Final Camera Verification & Review
After curing, we perform a final camera inspection to verify the lined section is continuous, properly seated, and flowing well. We show you the results, explain what was lined, and discuss long-term maintenance expectations and any remaining sections that may need monitoring or future work.
What’s Included
A typical trenchless sewer repair (pipe lining) job may include:
Camera inspection of the existing sewer line to evaluate condition and suitability for lining
Thorough cleaning and preparation of the host pipe (roots, debris, scale, and buildup removal)
Planning and setup of access points, using existing cleanouts or small excavation pits as needed
Installation and curing of a resin-saturated liner to create a new inner pipe within the existing line
Post-installation camera verification to confirm liner placement and flow characteristics
Summary of work and maintenance advice, including any recommendations for other sections of piping
Costs & Timelines (What to Expect)
Many trenchless lining projects are completed more quickly and with less surface disruption than full open-trench replacements.
You’ll receive a detailed, upfront estimate covering cleaning, lining length, access, curing, and verification, plus any traditional repairs needed before lining.
Main cost factors include:
Length and diameter of the sewer line to be lined
Amount and type of pre-cleaning required (roots/scale/sludge)
Number and complexity of access points (cleanouts vs new pits)
Whether hybrid work is needed (spot repairs + lining)
We’ll also compare trenchless lining costs to spot repair and full replacement so you can decide what gives you the best long-term value.
Insurance & Claims Help
Trenchless repair often ties into broader property planning:
We can provide before-and-after camera footage to document improvement for owners, HOAs, and managers.
For properties with extensive hardscape, lining can be a budget-friendly alternative to tearing out driveways or decorative concrete.
If you’re coordinating with landscapers, pool builders, or general contractors, trenchless options can help protect new or existing improvements.
(Insurance coverage and shared-cost arrangements always depend on your policy and governing documents; this is not financial or legal advice.)
Risks of Waiting (Why Act Now)
Collapsed or missing pipe: If the line is fully collapsed or missing segments, a liner has nowhere to go—traditional excavation and replacement are usually required.
Severe bellies and slope issues: A liner follows the existing shape; if the pipe has long, deep sags, lining won’t eliminate standing water there.
Extremely deformed or undersized lines: If the pipe is badly out of round or improperly sized, lining may not resolve all functional issues.
Access limitations: In rare cases, there may not be enough safe or practical access points to install and cure a liner effectively.
If trenchless isn’t appropriate, we’ll explain exactly why and outline other repair or replacement options tailored to your property.
Methods, Materials & Quality Standards
Professional trenchless systems: We use sewer-rated lining products designed for cured-in-place applications—not generic coatings.
Proper host preparation: We take pipe cleaning and prep seriously, because liner performance depends on it.
Verification via camera: We rely on before-and-after video to confirm both candidacy and successful installation.
Code- and manufacturer-aligned work: Our installations follow best practices and product guidelines for mixing, installation, curing, and trimming.
Solution-neutral recommendations: Because we also do traditional repairs and replacements, we’re focused on what’s best for your line, not just selling one technique.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is trenchless sewer repair always cheaper than digging?
Not always—but it often is when the sewer runs under expensive or hard-to-replace surfaces. We’ll price both options when appropriate.
Will lining make my pipe too small?
Lining slightly reduces diameter, but the new pipe is smooth and jointless, which often improves flow compared to rough, root-intruded pipe.
Can you line just part of the sewer line?
Yes. We can target specific sections—for example, the part under a driveway or patio—while using traditional repairs or spot replacements elsewhere.
How long does a lined pipe last?
When installed properly and used under normal conditions, lined sections are designed for a long service life, often comparable to new pipe.
Can lining fix all sewer problems?
No. It’s powerful but not universal. Collapsed pipes, severe bellies, and major layout issues usually need traditional excavation and re-piping.
