Trenchless Pipe Lining in Tulsa, OK
There is no one who wants to see their yard torn from end to end over a sewer pipe. With trenchless pipe lining, we can get inside a damaged sewer line and put it right, usually with just one access point, leaving your driveway, mature trees and landscaping undisturbed. That is the kind of work Wooten Knock-Out Plumbing does for Tulsa homes, with the same straight talk and upfront pricing you will find on any of our jobs.

What Trenchless Pipe Lining Is
The process, or what some call CIPP (cured-in-place pipe), involves putting a resin-saturated liner in the old pipe. We inflate it against the walls and let it cure; it hardens into a new, seamless pipe within the old one. Any cracks, corroded bits or root-damaged joints are sealed off behind a smooth surface that roots cannot get back into. Then there is pipe bursting, where a new pipe is drawn through the old, shattering the failed piece as it goes. Either way, you avoid the long open trench of traditional sewer line replacement.
Is Your Tulsa Sewer Line a Candidate?
We will be the first to tell you if a trenchless approach is not called for. A line with a full collapse or a bad belly has no path for the liner to follow. Our job is to be honest about that. So we start with a sewer camera inspection. We run the camera and show you the footage so you can make an informed choice on whether you need a spot repair, conventional excavation, or one of our trenchless options, all with firm pricing in front of you.

You will find original clay or cast iron lines in much of Tulsa housing stock, from the bungalows in midtown to the ranches out by 71st Street. The expansive clay soil here moves with the seasons, opening up joints for tree roots to invade. Trenchless lining puts a seal on those joints without the digging, and the new liner is impervious to the mineral scale that Tulsa moderately hard water leaves in older pipes. It is a pipe good for decades with very little surface disruption.
What a Trenchless Job Looks Like
A residential lining job is typically wrapped up in a day or two. After we have hydro jetted or cut the roots and verified the line with the camera, we install and cure the liner and put the camera in once more for you to see. If we are doing a pipe burst, a small pit at either end is all the digging required. You have a written quote before we begin, so there are no hidden fees or surprises down the road.

Serving Tulsa and nearby communitiesFrequently Asked Questions
1How long does trenchless pipe lining last?
You can expect 50 years out of a properly done job. Because the liner is seamless, there are no joints for roots to go after, which is the usual undoing of an old clay line.
2Is trenchless cheaper than digging?
Some might say the materials for a CIPP liner cost more, but when you factor in the concrete and landscaping you will not have to replace, it is often the better value, especially under a driveway, a patio or some good trees. We will price both ways for you to compare.
3Does the liner reduce my pipe's capacity?
The liner takes a little off the diameter, but the interior is so smooth the flow is actually better than in a rough, scaled, root-snagged old pipe. For a home line it is not an issue.
4Can you line a pipe that's collapsed?
No. A fully collapsed section leaves no path for the liner. In that case we will recommend pipe bursting or a targeted excavation of the collapsed section, and we will show you the camera footage so the decision makes sense.
Trenchless sewer repair is still a novelty in parts of Oklahoma; you will hear from some outfits from Oklahoma City to Tulsa that a full dig is the only way. Not with us. Every technician on our crew is trained in trenchless pipe repair and pipe relining as well as traditional pipe replacement, so we can reline a leaking drain pipe, clear the clog that got you in this position, and restore full flow without wrecking your yard.
