Hingham trenchless sewer repair
We help you compare lining your Hingham sewer with replacing it. A cured-in-place liner renews the pipe you already have from inside; replacement digs it up and lays a new one. Our camera recording shows which one your pipe needs.
Lining or replacing
We show you when lining fits your Hingham sewer and when replacement does.
Replacement opens the ground or floor along your sewer, removes the old pipe and lays a new one. Lining leaves your old pipe in place and cures a resin-saturated liner inside it, so the new wall forms within the route you already have.
Lining fits a pipe that still holds its shape: cracked joints, roots, scale and leaks along a run our camera can pass. Replacement or a spot repair fits a section that has collapsed, sags enough to hold water or has lost its shape. Your recording shows which sections fall where, and your sewer can need both.
Lining fits. Cracks, roots, scale and leaking joints in your pipe while it holds its shape.

Slide across these pipes to see the wall a liner adds.
In each pair the old pipe stays in the ground and the new wall forms inside it.
Our liner closes the cracks at the end of your clay pipe.Cracks and root entry points are covered by the cured liner when the clay around them still holds its shape.
These findings point your Hingham sewer to lining or replacement.
The first three are problems we line. The last is a limit that needs a spot repair or replacement first.
Your clay pipe is cracked along its length.
When the cracked pipe still holds its shape, our liner covers the cracks with one continuous wall.
Scale lines your cast iron.
We descale it and line it. Replacement is not needed for scale alone.
A joint is leaking into the soil.
Our liner covers leaking joints along the lined run.
A section has caved in.
A liner cannot rebuild it. That section needs a spot repair or replacement before we line the rest.
We line your Hingham sewer in five steps.
We record your sewer and sort its sections.
We mark which sections can be lined and which need another repair first.
We clean the sections we will line.
Jetting removes roots and scale so your liner cures against the pipe wall.
We install your liner inside the old pipe.
We invert the resin-saturated liner from your access point into the measured run.
We cure your liner into a new pipe wall.
The resin hardens inside your old pipe along the lined run.
We record the finished run.
You see the new wall and any branch we reopened before your fixtures go back into use.
Our Charlestown job
We renewed a sewer with a size change using one liner instead of replacing it.
In Charlestown a 4-inch lateral met a 6-inch main beneath a finished basement, with scale and cracking at the hub. We jetted and descaled it, then installed one continuous liner across the transition from interior access and brush coated the smaller branches.
That job is in Boston, not in Hingham. It shows how a liner can renew a run that changes size without opening the floor along it.
Hingham sewer rules
Hingham requires a licensed drainlayer and leaves your building sewer costs with you.
Hingham is an MWRA sewer community. The Hingham Sewer Rules and Regulations, adopted by the Board of Sewer Commissioners, say a permit will not be issued unless the work is done by a drainlayer licensed by the board, and that all costs incidental to installing and connecting your building sewer are borne by the owner.
That is why comparing a replacement with a liner matters to you. Replacement excavates your old pipe and lays a new one; lining cures a new wall inside the pipe you have. Our recording shows whether your Hingham sewer still holds the shape a liner needs.
Owners describe choosing a liner over a bigger dig.

Quick and efficient work. Helped with every step of the process. Just when I though I was into a major excavation, they came in and made my life stress free.
John S.Google review, Boston Pipe Lining did a great job installing a liner in our sewer lateral out to the street. Professional, prompt, and communicated well. We would highly recommend them.
Mark W.Google review, The team was quick and responsive. They took initiative and gave clear and understandable advice. And the price was way lower that all the other quotes I got. They completed the job quickly and left no mess.

We answer questions about lining or replacing your Hingham sewer.
When should I replace my sewer instead of lining it?
When a section has collapsed, sags enough to hold water or has lost its shape, a liner cannot fix it on its own. We show you those sections on your recording and recommend a spot repair or replacement there.
Does lining change the size of my pipe?
The cured liner adds a wall inside your pipe, so the inside diameter becomes slightly smaller. Its smooth surface carries flow, and we size your liner from the measurements in your recording.
Who needs to be licensed for sewer work in Hingham?
Hingham’s sewer rules say a permit will not be issued unless the work is done by a drainlayer licensed by the Board of Sewer Commissioners.
