Pipelining is a cheaper and less damaging method of replacing a broken pipe compared to jackhammering your floor. It’s less messy, quicker, and an all-around better way of dealing with a pipe under a solid floor. Think of it as placing a stent in a blood vessel to allow blood to flow through as it’s supposed to. When it comes to pipelining in Roanoke, VA, and the surrounding areas, you can count on Wisler!
1. Locate the severe leak or collapse in your pipe.
2. Remove any remaining pipe fragments or blockages.
3. Insert a special laminated and flexible lining through the pipe to the problem area and epoxy it to the existing pipe.
4. Allow the epoxy to dry, creating a new solid pipe.
5. Test the cured pipe to ensure it functions properly.
Restore everything to normal.
Minimal Excavation: Since there’s no need for digging, the process reduces damage to landscapes, driveways, or streets.
Cost-Effective: Pipelining can often be cheaper than traditional pipe replacement due to reduced labor and material costs.
Durability: The new liner is often as strong, if not stronger, than the original pipe and can last for decades.
Speed: The entire process takes a few hours, from locating the issue to restoring water flow.

Pipelining creates a new pipe inside your existing damaged pipe using an epoxy-coated liner that’s inserted and cured in place — it repairs the line without digging up your yard, driveway, or foundation.
Yes, a properly installed epoxy liner typically carries a warranty of 25–50 years and performs comparably to new pipe, since it seals cracks, gaps, and root-damaged joints along the entire run.
Pipelining works well for cracked or root-damaged pipes that still have their basic structure intact. If a pipe is completely collapsed or severely offset, traditional excavation and replacement may be necessary instead.
Pipelining is typically completed in a single day for most residential lines, versus the multi-day process of excavation, replacement, and restoring landscaping or hardscape afterward.
Cost depends on the length and diameter of the pipe and the extent of the damage. We inspect the line with a camera first to confirm pipelining is the right fix, then give you one upfront price.
