Minimally Invasive Sewer & Pipeline Restoration
Traditional pipe repairs often require major excavation, causing disruptions, noise, and expensive landscape damage. At The Waterworks, we offer a modern alternative—trenchless PipeLining technology—allowing us to repair cracked, leaking, and root-infested pipelines without the hassle of digging.
Using Cured-in-Place Pipe (CIPP) rehabilitation, we restore and reinforce existing pipes from the inside, extending their lifespan by up to 50 years.

Advantages of PipeLining Technology
Traditional pipe repairs require heavy machinery, water shutoffs, and weeks of excavation. PipeLining offers a trenchless, efficient alternative with benefits such as:
- Minimal Digging – Requires only a small access point, reducing property damage.
- Faster Completion – Most PipeLining repairs are completed in a single day.
- Cost-Effective – Lower labor and equipment costs compared to traditional excavation.
- Works with Any Pipe Material – Compatible with clay, cast iron, concrete, and PVC pipes.
- Strong & Flexible – Can handle pipe bends and bridge damaged sections.
- Long-Lasting Durability – Restores pipe strength for up to 50 years, reducing future repairs.
PipeLining is an ideal non-invasive solution for businesses, municipalities, and homeowners looking for long-term sewer and drainage solutions.
How PipeLining Works
Instead of digging up old pipes, The Waterworks uses a durable, cured-in-place material to line the inside of your existing pipes, creating a seamless, watertight barrier.
Step-by-Step Process:
- Inspection – A high-resolution video camera assesses the pipe’s condition.
- Cleaning & Preparation – Pipes are cleared of debris, corrosion, and tree roots to ensure proper bonding.
- Liner Installation – A flexible resin liner is inserted into the damaged pipe and cured-in-place, sealing cracks and reinforcing the pipe.
- Final Testing – Pressure and flow tests confirm a leak-free, structurally sound pipe.
This method allows us to repair entire pipelines or smaller damaged sections, preventing future leaks, root intrusions, and corrosion.
Benefits of PipeLining Over Traditional Repairs
PipeLining is more than just a quick fix—it actively prevents future pipeline failures by:
- Reducing Corrosion – Stops metal pipes from rusting and degrading over time.
- Preventing Root Intrusion – Seals pipes completely, preventing tree roots from growing inside.
- Eliminating Water Infiltration – Stops rainwater and groundwater contamination.
- Minimizing Future Repairs – Creates a stronger, watertight solution than traditional PVC replacement.
Unlike traditional pipe replacement, which requires extensive digging, PipeLining is performed with minimal impactto your property or business operations.
Conventional Pipe Repair & Patching
For smaller repair jobs, The Waterworks also offers:
- Localized Pipe Patching – Repairs specific damaged sections instead of replacing entire pipelines.
- Trenchless Pipe Bursting – Replaces pipes without digging long trenches.
- Traditional Excavation Repairs – When necessary, we perform full pipe replacements while minimizing disruption.
Our Approach:
- Minimizing excavation using advanced digging techniques.
- Owning our excavation equipment—no delays or rental costs.
- Ensuring job site safety throughout the repair process.
- Fully restoring your property after repairs—leaving no mess behind.
Hydro-Excavation: A Non-Destructive Alternative
Hydro-Excavation is a safe, precise method for exposing underground utilities, cables, and pipelines without causing damage. Instead of using shovels, jackhammers, or backhoes, we use high-pressure water to gently remove soil.
Benefits of Hydro-Excavation:
- Prevents Utility Strikes – Avoids damaging buried power lines, pipes, and fiber-optic cables.
- Safer Than Traditional Digging – Reduces the risk of gas leaks, water main breaks, or electrical hazards.
- Ideal for Confined Spaces – Works in tight areas where heavy equipment can’t fit.
The Waterworks owns and operates Hydro-Excavation and Vacuuming equipment, ensuring safe and efficient service.

Technician was knowledgeable and person able. Listened to the information I provided to him to diagnose the issue. This service was performed on a Saturday so there was an extra charge but for the emergency service it was a reasonable amount. I will be using this company in the future.
Yessey is amazing awesome a tech who got our issues fixed promptly, efficiently, professional, friendly, and put under-sink boxes of cleaning products back under the sink where my old old body doesn't have to balance them myself!! Thank you WaterWorks !!! I we hadn't had these issues, the two vanities' plumbing were ready to break of as he worked them - oh, what a bigger mess we would have had!! We can hardly get to and from the floor to do many tasks any more and Yessey helped us IMMENSELY!! THANK YOU!!! Today, Ryan showed me how to change the filter on the water system we'd had out in. It was new, different style - i didnt want a water mess for doing it incorrectly. The 2nd reason for the appointment was to fix the leak on a bath sink faucet, ended up having to install a new faucet i had purchased in case that would be the fix. Ryan had to run out for a couple supplies, got back, installed the faucet and was on his way into the cold! Really appreciated his diligence. Thank you, Waterworks!!
The Waterworks company (A local Columbus Ohio company) delivered fast, professional service and provided a dependable solution when my sump pump failed and flooded my basement. The technician clearly explained all available options and costs, helping me make an informed decision on the spot. He replaced the old pump and completed the new installation that same afternoon—efficient, thorough, and stress-free. Thanks Waterworks for five (5) star service in my moment of crisis! You saved the day.
Reliable service. Nobody likes to deal with toilet issues. The service tech (Sam) was very professional, letting me know upfront what the problem was, how he was going to fix it.
Had a new hot water heater installed. The Waterworks team diagnosed the issue, helped me choose the right water heater, removed the old one (and took it with them), and then installed the new one. I will be calling the Waterworks for any plumbing needs we have. Solid and reliable. Courteous people too.
Responded within a short time from my call to repair a leaking water line, repaired the leak and another corroded line. Excellent work and very friendly technicians.
I have used Waterworks for years for all my plumbing needs. Their technicians are skilled and experienced. I’ve always received excellent service. Recently, I had the valve to the main water line replaced. The two technicians sent did an excellent job and quickly with no mess.
We’ve always been happy with Jonle. Our service rep Dan, is very knowledgeable and we always ask for him for our annual maintenance.
Had JonLe out for a furnace service and started a maintenance plan with them. Very professional and informative and focused on just what I needed and did not try to upsell.
I was unable to get my furnace to come on over the weekend. I called Jonle Monday morning and they came out that afternoon. Todd my technician explained to me in depth what the issue was and had the part needed. He had my furnace back up & running in less than an hour!! This customer service is the one of the many reasons I've been a Jonle customer for over 30 years!
Technician Andrew was very professional and thorough. Will definitely continue to use your company for my plumbing needs.
Technician Collin found the issue and corrected it within minutes. Shut off valve was hard to find, but he knew where it was and took care of it. I also asked for a quote to fix some minor issues and he provided the quote in a timely manner. He was professional, helpful, knowledgeable and kind. Would highly recommend them!
Always on time. Have had their maintained program for years always do a great job
Just had a great experience with Cornell from the Waterworks. Figured out the problem, had a temporary solution within 30 minutes so that we could function, came back the next day to fix it for good (well, as much as plumbing can be fixed "for good"!).
On time. Professional and fixed what I could not fix. I would use them again. 90 day warranty is a nice touch that gives piece of mind.
Techs spent about an hour troubleshooting my problem, then explained it throughly. Greatly appreciated.
I learned quickly that some companies do not do plumbing for manufactured homes. WHY???? Ivan came to my home about 5A.M. quickly took care of the problem and taught me a few things in the process. He was very kind and understanding. I would ask for Ivan again.
Aaron will forever now be my first call when it comes to plumbing issues. He was thorough, responsive, and got my sewer line unblocked. Another company looked at the same line several days earlier and gave an extremely expensive and aggressive solution; waterworks only did what was needed and charged a fair price. Consider me a loyal customer from here on out!
Scheduling was easy and accommodating. The service tech let me know he was about 20 minutes away, arrived on time, perform the required maintenance, and we reviewed the check list. Perfect.
Excellent experience. Our technician worked hard and solved our problems.
Quick fix at a reasonable price. Thank you team for clearing up a pipe issue, fixing it quickly, and giving me options on how we want to fix the issue. I would highly recommend!
Overall was a great experience, had a toilet that was never seated properly, and the flange set up was a little strange (homeowner special). The technician Chris was prompt, explained everything and redid the set up correctly. I'm sure there are cheaper plumbers in town, but both times I have used Waterworks the job is done correctly, reliably, and on time. That makes it 100% worth it in my book
Thank you Waterworks. Everything was super speedy. Communication was very on point and exact with no issues. Only issue that I would have to say is that when placing the dirt back, the dirt isnt evenly disturbed back into the yard.
We have used Jonle Heating and cooling for roughly 30 years and we have always been pleased with the services they provide. We recently replaced our humidifier on our furnace and the installation went very smoothly. Professional as always and thorough.
Everything went very smooth and as expected with no surprises! Very pleased and would highly recommend!! Will be using again in the future!
Victor was great -got us all fixed up the same day and prevented our basement from flooding
Water backed up into the drain in my basement. I called Waterworks in the morning and a plumber was here within a couple of hours. I was informed as to when he would arrive, and he did. He assessed the problem, gave me a quote, and when I agreed to what u think was a reasonable price, he had everything needed to fix the problem in his truck. I am quite satisfied.
I really appreciate the good service that I had today from Will. You guys continue to surpass my expectations. Thanks for being there for me and my family!
Great service. Very thorough and professional Collin gets 5 stars for great communication and explanations. Felt very satisfied with the end results
I own a property management firm and Waterworks is our go-to for all of our plumbing and drain needs. I've also personally used their heating and cooling services. Waterworks has always been extremely reliable, cost-effective, and easy to work with. Their technicians have always been very professional as well. I'm constantly amazed how such a large, professional firm delivers a consistent, quality experience.
I can’t give enough stars to Jay Markham, he saved me almost 20k. Another company advised that I needed every gas line in my house replaced and they wouldent get in my crawl space. Jay came out and actually listened and cared. He tested everything 2 or 3x and answered any questions I had. it ended up being bad valves. I had already been without Gas for a whole week.. I can’t say enough about this kid. But thank you!!
I was very happy and impressed with the service I received. From the initial estimate to the final installation everything went exactly as planned. The two technicians were very professional and respected my property. They explain the installation in detail and the operation of my new furnace, AC unit and thermostat. And they kept the utility room probably cleaner than it was before they got here.. I would highly recommend JonLe heating and cooling.
Highly recommend them - always very professional, polite, efficient and helpful.
Chris, the Waterworks technician assigned to check our dripping kitchen faucet and bathroom shower, quickly analyzed the problem with each as a faulty cartridge controlling hot & cold lines to the respective taps. When it became difficult to unfasten the kitchen faucet handle, due to accumulated calcium deposits, he voluntarily called up Delta service and while also attending to the shower problem, managed to convince the Delta rep to send us a full replacement kitchen faucet, “free of charge”!!! Chris then deftly replaced the defective cartridge in the bathroom shower. We have a notice from Delta that the replacement will arrive in roughly 12 days, so we are very pleased with the entire experience.
Our technician Ryan was great! Came right on time and was pleasant and informative. Ryan was looking great and shared his sources story with us. We are really happy for him. We love working with Ryan and Jonle! Thank you!
The technicians were professional, efficient and knowledgable. The technicians were on time and very friendly. They scheduled an appt.for us quickly when we called them. Would definitely recommend them to other people. I have a silver contract with them and am very happy with that.
Mike Spry and his team were fantastic. This was a big job installing backflow preventer on our fire suppression system. They coordinated everything with the city (which is no easy task). They had the job done in a very timely manner. And they made sure not to interfere with our regular business operations throughout the work. Very appreciative!
Awesome customer service. Chris was very polite, professional and very knowledgeable.
Over the past years, starting in 2014, we have used Waterworks for any of our plumbing issues. Recently we had issues regarding Plumbing, HVAC and Drain issues. Waterworks approach, was to assign an expert to each of these issues. The results have been excellent in each. Pricing is very good. Last year we were having sump pump issues. Waterworks checked everything. They recommended installing a Backup Sump Pump System. We did this and it is wonderful. We Highly Recommend Waterworks!
