CIPP Lining – Trenchless Sewer Repair
At North Star Sewer and Water, we specialize in Cured-In-Place Pipe (CIPP) lining, a trenchless technology that restores damaged pipes without digging up your property. In Minneapolis, Eden Prairie, and Maple Grove, MN, Whether your sewer line is cracked, leaking, or deteriorating, CIPP lining provides a durable, long-lasting solution without the mess of traditional excavation.
What is CIPP Lining?
CIPP lining is a no-dig pipe repair method that involves inserting a flexible, resin-coated liner into your existing pipe. Once in place, the liner is cured with heat or UV light, creating a seamless, joint-free "pipe within a pipe" that restores structural integrity and prevents future leaks.
