Key takeaways
- The line is back in service once the crew gives the word
- Run water slowly at first and check your fixtures
- Keep the final video and paperwork
- Treat the pipe like any good pipe: no grease, no wipes
The first hours
Once the liner has cured and the connections are reopened, the crew will tell you when you can use the plumbing again. Run water slowly at first, flush toilets once or twice and check each fixture for normal flow.
Some resins leave a faint smell for a short time after the cure. It fades.
The first days
A slight change in the sound of your drains can happen as the new smooth interior changes how water flows. If you notice slow drains, gurgles or leaks, call us. We would rather see it early.
Keep the cleanout accessible.
Keeping the records
Save the final camera video, the written scope and any warranty or terms. They help with a sale, a lender or an insurance question, and let any future inspection compare against the finished liner.
Make a note of the date and the length lined.
Long-term care
A lined pipe needs the same care as any: no grease, no wipes, no harsh chemicals. Consider a camera check after a few years or if something seems off. Keep large trees’ roots and heavy loads in mind above the line.
If you plan new work above the line, locate it first.
Quick answers
Can I use a drain cleaner on a lined pipe?
We recommend avoiding harsh chemicals. If a drain slows, call us rather than reaching for a strong cleaner.
What if I notice a problem later?
Call us. A camera pass will show what is going on.
