Pipe Relining in San Diego County

Trenchless Sewer Line Repair for Homes & Businesses Across San Diego County

When a damaged sewer line threatens your home, business, or investment property, digging up the yard isn’t the only answer. We’ve been providing full-service plumbing to San Diego County homeowners and property managers since 1984, and pipe relining (sometimes known as cured-in-place pipe, or CIPP, lining), is one of the most effective ways to restore damaged pipes without tearing up what’s above them. The process creates a new pipe wall inside the existing one, sealing cracks, leaks, and corrosion from the inside out. Plumbing Plus has been family-owned since Michael and Rachael De Silva took over in 2010, and we serve residential, commercial, and property management clients throughout the county.

San Diego County has thousands of homes built before 1980 with original clay or cast iron sewer pipes that have been quietly deteriorating for decades. Properties with mature landscaping, tile driveways, and limited yard access—common across North County and coastal neighborhoods—are especially well-suited for relining instead of excavation.

If you’re dealing with slow drains, sewer odors, or recurring clogs, don’t wait for the problem to grow. Call us at (858) 630-3141 to learn more about our pipe relining services in San Diego County. 

What Our Pipe Relining Service Includes

Our trenchless pipe repair approach addresses a wide range of pipe damage without the disruption of traditional excavation.

Here’s what the service includes:

• No-Dig Pipe Repair: Pipes are relined entirely from the inside, preserving your landscaping, floors, hardscapes, and walls.
• Epoxy Resin Lining: High-quality epoxy resin coats the damaged pipe interior, sealing cracks, leaks, joint separations, and weak spots to form a durable new lining.
• Pre-Repair Camera Inspection: Video inspection confirms the damage type, location, and extent before any work begins.
• Hydro Jetting Preparation: We clear the pipe of root material, scale, debris, and buildup before liner installation to ensure a clean bonding surface.
• Post-Repair Camera Confirmation: A second camera pass verifies the repair is complete and the line is fully restored.

CIPP relining is suited for pipes affected by root intrusion, corrosion, cracks, scale buildup, and joint separation. It’s a structural repair, not a surface coating, meaning the liner hardens into a self-supporting pipe wall inside the original host pipe.

Most pipe relining jobs in San Diego County can be completed in a single day. 

Signs Your Pipes May Need Relining

Some pipe problems are obvious. Others build quietly over years before a visible failure occurs. 

Watch for these warning signs:

• Recurring drain clogs that return shortly after clearing
• Sewer odors inside or outside the home
• Slow drains across multiple fixtures at the same time
• Soggy patches or unusually lush grass above a sewer line
• An older home with original clay or cast iron pipes still in place

These symptoms suggest a main sewer line issue rather than a localized clog. A camera inspection is the fastest way to know for certain what’s happening inside your pipes. Severely collapsed or fully disintegrated pipe sections may require pipe bursting or traditional replacement instead of relining.

Pipe Relining FAQ

Does Every Pipe Qualify for Relining?

Not always. A sewer camera inspection is the first step. It confirms whether the pipe retains enough structural integrity to hold the liner. Pipes that are severely collapsed or fully disintegrated may need pipe bursting or replacement instead. We can tell you which option fits your situation before any work begins.

How Long Does the Lining Last?

A properly installed cured-in-place pipe liner can last 50 years or more.

Can I Stay Home While the Work Is Done?

Yes. Pipe relining doesn’t require demolition or extended access restrictions, so residents and tenants can typically remain on the property throughout the process. The pipe is usually ready for normal use within a few hours of the liner curing.
