This Is How Plumbers Fix 50-Year-Old Pipes Without Ever Digging Them Up

Phoenix, AZ - Across the Phoenix Valley, thousands of homes built in the 1960s, 70s, and 80s are reaching an unseen breaking point beneath their foundations. Decades of corrosion, root intrusion, and buildup have taken their toll on underground plumbing systems, often without a single sign above ground until it's too late.

But one company, Pipeliners, is changing the way homeowners deal with aging pipes. Instead of tearing up floors, driveways, or landscaping, Pipeliners uses modern trenchless technology to rebuild the pipe from the inside out. The result is a stronger-than-new, 50-year-rated solution that can be completed in as little as one day.

The Hidden Problem Beneath Older Homes

According to Jake Shaker, General Manager of Pipeliners, the biggest issue is that most homeowners don't realize what's happening beneath their property until a major failure occurs.

"Cast iron and clay pipes weren't built to last forever," Shaker explains. "After 40 or 50 years, they start cracking, leaking, and collecting debris. That's when you get slow drains, sewer smells, or sinkholes in the yard - symptoms that point to a much bigger issue."

Traditional repair methods require excavation, a messy, expensive, and time-consuming process that can destroy landscaping and disrupt daily life. For many homeowners, it can also mean tearing through concrete slabs or driveways to access the damaged line.

That's where Cured-in-Place Pipe (CIPP) lining comes in.

How Trenchless Pipe Lining Works

The process begins with a high-definition camera inspection. Using advanced imaging equipment, the Pipeliners team maps every inch of the pipe's interior to locate cracks, breaks, or blockages. Once the issue is identified, a flexible liner coated in epoxy resin is inserted into the existing line through an access point.

Using air or water pressure, the liner expands to conform to the interior of the old pipe. Then, through a carefully controlled curing process, the resin hardens, creating a seamless new pipe inside the old one.

"The new liner becomes a structural pipe within a pipe," Shaker says. "It seals out roots, corrosion, and leaks completely. Once it cures, you've essentially got a brand-new pipe with a 50-year warranty, and you didn't have to dig up a single inch of dirt."

The restored line is smoother than the original, allowing water and waste to flow more efficiently while preventing future scale buildup.

Faster. Cleaner. Permanent.

Unlike temporary fixes such as jetting or patching, CIPP lining provides a permanent solution to pipe deterioration. Most residential projects are completed in a single day with minimal disruption and no excavation.

Homeowners also receive video proof of completion, showing exactly what was repaired and how the finished pipe looks from the inside. This level of transparency, Shaker says, is a cornerstone of the Pipeliners approach.

"We want homeowners to see the difference for themselves," he explains. "There's nothing hidden about what we do. We show you before and after footage so you can see the transformation in your own system."

Serving the Entire Phoenix Valley

From Mesa and Gilbert to Chandler, Scottsdale, and beyond, Pipeliners has become one of Arizona's most trusted names in trenchless pipe rehabilitation. The company's technicians are certified in multiple repair methods, including CIPP, UV lining, epoxy coating, and hydro-jetting, giving them the flexibility to design the right solution for each unique system.

As the region continues to grow, older infrastructure remains one of the biggest challenges for property owners. "We're seeing homes and businesses throughout the Valley dealing with the same problem," says Shaker. "Our goal is to get ahead of those failures and give people peace of mind before a major backup or collapse ever happens."

A Smart Move for Aging Homes

Pipeliners recommends that any homeowner with a property 40 years or older schedule a professional camera inspection. It's the fastest way to identify hidden problems before they lead to costly damage.

"If your home was built before the 1980s, your pipes are living on borrowed time," Shaker adds. "With a simple inspection, we can tell you exactly what's going on underground, and if lining makes sense, we can restore your pipes in one day without disturbing your home."
