Jamaica Plain trenchless sewer repair
We renewed a failing 6-inch sewer beneath a finished Jamaica Plain basement floor with a liner we cured with ultraviolet light from inside the home. We inspect, clean, line and coat your Jamaica Plain sewer and review the recording with you first.
Our lining control equipment set up inside the home on our Jamaica Plain job.
Our Jamaica Plain job
We reviewed the recording with a Jamaica Plain owner, then cured the liner with UV light.
Our high-definition camera showed fractures and infiltration along a 6-inch basement run beneath a finished floor. We went over the recording with the owner, then scoped a liner we could install from inside the property.
We jetted out roots and buildup, measured the full 6-inch path and cured the cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) liner with ultraviolet light from the SpeedyLight+ system, timed to that pipe’s length and diameter. The owner avoided breaking concrete along the full sewer path. If your sewer runs under a finished floor, our recording shows whether we can reach and line it the same way.

We line these problems in Jamaica Plain sewers.
Our recording shows which of these your sewer has and whether it holds the shape a liner needs.
Roots are growing through your joints.
We cut and jet them out, then line the run so the joints are covered.
Groundwater is entering through fractures.
Infiltration showed up on the Jamaica Plain recording. Our liner covers the fractures along the lined run.

Jamaica Plain and BWSC
BWSC asks Jamaica Plain owners to inspect their laterals, and names relining as a repair.
Jamaica Plain is served by the Boston Water and Sewer Commission. BWSC says property owners are responsible for maintaining and repairing their building’s entire lateral, advises having it inspected for blockages, breaks and leaks, and says repairing, replacing or relining it can help prevent sewer backups.
If your lateral is blocked, collapsed or leaking, BWSC’s Sewer Lateral Financial Assistance Program can reimburse part of the repair once BWSC verifies the condition. Our recording shows you what your lateral looks like before you contact BWSC.
Owners describe the recordings we show them.

Boston Pipelining did a job for me last week - they came a business day after I called to look at the job & gave me a solid quote - they were here within a week of when I said OK exactly when we agreed and got the job done in half a day - they showed me a camera view of before & after the lining and the result looks great - they fully cleaned up after themselves - I strongly recommend them
Scott B.Google review, Travis Trott and his team did a fast efficient job lining our pipe! They were kind and helpful fully explaining the process. We will be happy to recommend Boston Pipe to everyone!
Sarah D.Google review, Ongoing root issues in our sewer line! Travis and crew came out- on time, were quick, and cleaned up. He shows you (and emails) the video feed from the finished work. NO complaints. Highly recommend.

We answer questions Jamaica Plain owners ask about UV lining.
Is UV curing faster?
UV curing is one cure method we use on suitable jobs. Its timing depends on your pipe’s length and diameter and the liner system we select; on our Jamaica Plain job we timed the cure to that pipe.
Do you go over the recording with me?
Yes. On our Jamaica Plain job we reviewed the recording with the owner before scoping the repair, and we do the same with yours.
Can you reach my sewer from inside if it runs under a finished floor?
On our Jamaica Plain job our equipment tied in from inside the home. Your recording shows whether your access allows the same.
Who is responsible for my Jamaica Plain lateral?
BWSC says property owners are responsible for their building’s entire lateral, from inside the basement to BWSC’s main in the street.
