Cured-in-Place Pipe Lining in Raleigh
Honest Diagnosis, No-Commission Technicians, Three-Time Raleigh’s Best Plumber
When a damaged sewer line surfaces, the immediate fear is excavation: torn-up yards, broken driveways, weeks of disruption. Cured-in-place pipe lining offers a different path. Instead of digging up the old pipe, we insert a flexible liner saturated with epoxy resin, expand it against the pipe interior, and cure it in place, creating a new seamless pipe within the original one. No trench. No landscape restoration bills. For qualifying pipes, it’s the cleaner solution.
Matthew's Plumbing Solutions has provided cured-in-place pipe lining to Wake County homeowners since founder Matthew Walls launched the business in 2017 with a single operating principle: give people a straight answer. Our technicians don’t earn commissions on parts or services, so when we recommend trenchless pipe lining over excavation, that recommendation comes from the pipe’s condition alone, not upsell pressure.
Ready to find out whether your sewer line is a candidate for trenchless pipe lining? Call us at (919) 769-3924 to schedule a camera evaluation or request an in-person estimate before any work begins.
How Cured-in-Place Pipe Lining Works
Every job starts with a video camera inspection. We run a camera through the line to locate cracks, root intrusion, corrosion, and misaligned joints, and to confirm the pipe has enough remaining structural integrity to hold a liner. If it does, the repair moves forward. If it doesn’t, we tell you that too.
Once the pipe qualifies, we clean it, typically using hydrojetting, to clear debris and buildup so the epoxy liner can bond fully to the pipe wall. From there:
- Liner insertion: A flexible liner, measured and cut to fit the damaged section, is saturated with epoxy resin and fed into the pipe through an existing access point
- Expansion: Air or water pressure expands the liner outward, pressing the resin firmly against the pipe interior
- Curing: Heat or ultraviolet light hardens the resin into a smooth, jointless, corrosion-resistant pipe. Curing time varies depending on pipe length, diameter, and conditions
- Final inspection: A second camera pass confirms liner integrity and verifies restored flow before we close the job
Same-day service is available in most cases, so the diagnostic process can begin quickly after you reach out.

Signs Your Raleigh Sewer Line Needs Attention
Sewer line problems rarely announce themselves clearly. Multiple slow drains throughout the house, gurgling sounds from fixtures you aren’t using, sewage odors inside or outside, and water backing up into tubs or floor drains all point toward the main line rather than an isolated clog. Outside, unusually lush, wet, or sunken patches of yard above the line’s path can signal a crack that’s been releasing wastewater underground for some time.
Raleigh and Wake County have a substantial stock of older residential construction where cast-iron and clay sewer pipes are common. Both materials become vulnerable to corrosion, root infiltration, and joint failure over decades. The region’s expansive clay soils can also shift and crack older lines in ways that go undetected until symptoms appear. When those pipes start to fail, cured-in-place pipe lining in Raleigh can be a practical path back to a functioning system.
Is Your Pipe a Candidate for Trenchless Pipe Lining?
Cured-in-place pipe lining works across clay, cast iron, PVC, and concrete pipes and can be applied to the full line or targeted to a specific damaged section. The determining factor is structural condition, which is why the camera inspection comes first.
Pipes with cracks, corrosion, root intrusion, or deteriorating joints are generally well-suited for lining when enough structure remains to support a liner. Not every pipe qualifies. A fully collapsed section, standing water that can’t be cleared, or missing sections typically require excavation or pipe bursting rather than lining. The camera inspection exists specifically to make that call before any repair commitment, protecting you from paying for a solution that isn’t right for your pipe’s actual condition.
