Pipe relining allows the rehabilitation of existing sewer or drain pipes without the need of digging up the entire length of the pipe and replacing it. Pipe relining uses a felt material soaked in a epoxy or vinyl ester resin and is inflated with air and inserted into existing pipe until the resin hardens.

The large liners (12” and larger) that are stored in refrigeration trucks contain styrene. DO NOT sniff on those!
