4 Simple Steps to a Repaired Sewer
Every job is different, but our proven process follows four easy steps.
Our Proven Repair Process
From initial inspection to final verification, here is exactly what to expect when you work with Defend Sewer Repair.
Comprehensive Sewer Inspection
Defend Sewer Services will arrive at your home and conduct a detailed camera scope between the home and the city street, or we can use a sewer scope conducted by another company. The HD camera identifies cracks, root intrusion, joint separation, bellies, and other issues with precise distance measurements.
- HD camera inspection of your entire sewer line
- Identifies cracks, root intrusion, joint separation, and bellies
- Precise distance measurements for accurate repair planning
- We can also work with scopes conducted by another company
Thorough Pipe Cleaning & Preparation
The existing sewer pipe will be cleaned and prepared for the new liner. We use high-pressure hydro-jetting to remove roots, grease, scale, and debris. Mechanical cutting tools address stubborn obstructions. A clean pipe ensures the liner bonds properly.

- Thorough cleaning ensures proper liner adhesion
Trenchless Liner Installation
We insert the proprietary resin repair bladder in place for a new CIPP sewer line, inflate and cure. The resin-saturated liner conforms to the existing pipe, sealing every crack and joint. Curing creates a rigid, structural new pipe within the old one.
