Cured-in-place Pipe
CIPP Pipe Lining Contractors in Nashville & Middle Tennessee
Cracked, corroded, or root-invaded sewer lines don't always require excavation. CIPP pipe lining — cured-in-place pipe lining — is a trenchless method that rehabilitates damaged pipes from the inside, creating a seamless new pipe within the existing one. No digging. No yard damage. No disruption to your driveway, landscaping, or foundation.
Prodigy Sewer & Drain is a licensed CIPP pipe lining contractor serving Nashville, Franklin, Brentwood, and all of Middle Tennessee. Our NASSCO-certified technicians trained in PACP (Pipeline Assessment Certification Program) use CIPP liner systems from Nu Flow Technologies — a leader in epoxy-based CIPP solutions since 1998 — and Perma-Liner Industries, bringing over 25 years of CIPP manufacturing excellence to Nashville. All installations comply with ASTM F1216, ASTM F2019, and ASTM F2561 standards for structural integrity and long-term performance.
CIPP pipe lining in Nashville is the right choice when:
- Your sewer line has cracks, fractures, or joint separations
- Tree roots have infiltrated the pipe
- Your cast iron, clay, or Orangeburg pipe is deteriorating
- You want to avoid the cost and disruption of full pipe replacement

How CIPP Pipe Lining Works: A Step-by-Step Process
Step 1: CCTV Drain Camera Inspection
Every CIPP lining job begins with a thorough video inspection of the pipe. Our technicians insert a high-definition drain camera to locate cracks, root intrusions, joint separations, and areas of corrosion. This footage determines whether CIPP lining is the right solution and maps exactly where the liner needs to be placed.
Step 2: High-Pressure Hydro Jetting to Clean the Pipe
Before any liner goes in, the pipe interior must be completely clean. We use high-pressure hydro jetting to scour away grease buildup, mineral deposits, tree roots, and debris — leaving the pipe walls ready to bond with the resin. A clean host pipe is critical to a strong, lasting CIPP installation.
Step 3: CIPP Liner Insertion and Inflation
A flexible liner — saturated with epoxy or polyester resin — is inserted into the damaged pipe and inflated with air or water pressure until it presses firmly against the existing pipe walls. The liner conforms to the full interior profile of the host pipe, including bends and offsets, with no open seams or joints.
Step 4: UV or Steam Curing Process
Once the liner is properly positioned, it is cured in place using either UV light or steam heat, depending on the liner system and pipe conditions. Curing hardens the resin into a rigid, structural pipe-within-a-pipe that resists root intrusion, corrosion, and leaks. The process typically takes one to several hours depending on pipe diameter and length.
Step 5: Final Camera Inspection to Confirm the Seal
After curing, our technicians run a second CCTV camera inspection through the newly lined pipe to verify a complete, defect-free seal. We confirm proper adhesion, check that flow capacity is restored, and document the finished condition of the pipe. You receive a clear before-and-after record of the repair.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does CIPP pipe lining cost in Nashville?
CIPP pipe lining in Nashville typically costs $80–$250 per linear foot, depending on pipe diameter, material, and access. A standard residential sewer line relining runs $3,000–$10,000. Prodigy offers free on-site estimates — call (615) 241-9489.
How long does CIPP pipe lining last?
A properly installed CIPP liner has a design life of 50+ years. Nu Flow and Perma-Liner systems used by Prodigy are warrantied and meet ASTM standards for long-term structural integrity.
Is CIPP pipe lining as strong as a new pipe?
Yes. CIPP creates a structurally independent pipe within the existing host pipe. When installed to ASTM F1216 standards, the new liner is stronger than the original pipe it replaces.
What types of pipes can be relined with CIPP?
CIPP is compatible with cast iron, clay (vitrified clay), Orangeburg, concrete, PVC, and HDPE pipes. It works for pipe diameters from 3 inches to 96 inches.
How long does CIPP pipe lining take?
Most residential CIPP jobs in Nashville are completed in 4–8 hours, depending on pipe length and conditions. There's no curing wait time for traffic or property access — you can use your drains the same day.
Does CIPP pipe lining require digging?
No. CIPP is a trenchless method — the liner is inserted through an existing access point (cleanout or manhole). No excavation, no yard damage, no driveway disruption.
