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.
Call us today to schedule a consultation on trenchless pipe repair!
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.

Logan L. did an Awesome job!!! He was so kind & patient with explaining everything! He went above and beyond!! 👏🏻🙂♥️ Thank you Logan & Waterworks!!! I will never call any other company!!!
Chad was a delight to deal with. On-time, friendly and efficient. He has served us well for several years. Simply put, " Good Job ".
My technician was very efficient and cleaned up after he was finished also he was very personable
Ryan from WaterWorks did a fantastic job installing a new toilet. He was upfront with pricing over the phone. Ryan was knowledgeable and explained everything and answered questions. We will definitely use WaterWorks again.
I’ve used JonLe for years whether general maintenance, service or replacement. Every single person I have worked with from the office to the techs to the sales team have been so great to work with. Always friendly and professional, extremely fair and they don’t try to push unnecessary or unneeded items, take the time to explain and educate at the same time. They will continue to be my go to team!
Waterworks does preventative maintenance on my sewer line yearly. I have a lot of trees and the roots can be pesky. I always request for Dave Canning to do the work. He is prompt, professional and has many years of experience. Highly recommend them!
Travis did a great job. He was very thorough and knowledgeable about how to use the Waterwork's great technology to be sure our drains were completely clear.
kept well informed with multiple reminders, texts with detailed information about service and the Tech prior to arriving......pic of the Tech in the text was a nice touch
I have used Jonle for several years now, and I am very happy with the service they provide!
I have been a JonLe customer for over twenty years. Today's service call was more evidence of why. Dino, our service tech, showed up on time, was professional and knowledgeable. He completed his worked and walked us through everything he had done and the condition of our HVAC system. I have great confidence in JonLe and am always comforted by the skill their team displays.
Today I had my semi-annual pre-cooling season system checkup. I received both a text and phone call when the technician was on his way. He arrived on time. Chad is professional and very personable. He updated me on what he did and made sure I understood. His work was thorough and gives me peace of mind that my heat pump and furnace are in good working order for the upcoming summer. He replaced my furnace filter (as its life had almost expired) and reset my filter maintenance minder. I am a very happy customer of West Chester Heating & Cooling.
Great service for a bi-annual hvac check on our equipment. The technician went above and beyond to point out some items to watch.
For over 35 years and in two homes, I have trusted the services of Jonle Heating and Cooling. Whether for routine maintenance, service or installation, they have never failed to impress me and keep me feeling secure in the reliability of their work. I purchase a yearly Gold Plan to ensure my system is kept running smoothly for all seasons. Today Matt services my A/C system to ensure I can continue to live comfortably in our home. Thank you!
JonLe service techs are always professional, courteous and respectful of my home. The office staff are friendly and easy to book appointments with.
Jason was friendly and helpful. He did a fast, through job (as usual with Jonle). We are always happy with the service we get from Jonle.
I have used JonLe heating and cooling since I built my home 5 years ago and they have always been prompt, dependable, and have my system running perfectly. Their technicians have always been knowledgeable, respectful, and always cover their shoes when they come in. I had Will today and he was fantastic.
The guy did a very thorough job with pictures and explanations of each item checked. First time anyone ever did that . Since the price went up glad to see the service improved with it😊
First time using their service and it was a pleasure working with Mark. They were very informative and they weren't about the money. They were about doing the service that they were paid to do. I would highly recommend them.
Scheduling was a problem. Was scheduled for a specific day and range of hours but didn't happen at all that. Rescheduled for following day and plumber Jay Markham got a difficult job done in a timely manner.
We’ve used this company for our annual backflow test the last few years and they always do a great job. Easy, clear communication and quick service. Highly recommend!
Their service technician Steve is great. Very knowledgeable and nice. He has taken care of servicing our system for almost 10 years.
Technician was prompt and serviced furnace. Questions were answered! Very satisfied!
Our Tech Pete was on time and called us 39 minutes prior to arrival. Did a great job repairing both water heaters and replaced a faulty shower valve. He thoroughly tested everything and cleaned up after he was done. Great overall experience.
Excellent service and support once again by the Waterworks team. Timely arrival to the job site. Assessed challenges and presented a viable solution for our bathroom shower repair. Our partnership with Waterworks is well over 20 years - and each time they are on our property to offer professional guidance - we're reminded while they remain our preferred supply partner.
Our Waterworks experience was completely satisfactory. Our appointment time was kept as promised and even though we could not duplicate our backup issue for the technician to observe, he provided valuable recommendations and suggestions for our situation. Over half an hour of professional time was devoted by the technician yet there was no fee charged! We think that was terrific! We are repeat customers and continue to recommend Waterworks to anyone in need of plumbing assistance.
Have used them for well over 30 years at my home and condo. Extremely reliable. Their technicians are always personable and knowledgeable. Office staff is also kind and pleasant. Would highly recommend. Price paid is for annual service contract which includes a visit in Spring for HVAC and one in fall for furnace.
I’ve used Jonle for many years and have always been happy with work done. They explain everything and are good to work with.
The office staff is always courteous and makes scheduling appointments painless. The technicians are always courteous, prompt, professional, and thorough. They always explain what they did, how the system is performing, and offer to answer any questions. The email documentation with photos of everything checked and completed is reassuring. We have been customers for decades and the Jonle team has never given us a reason to consider anyone else. The semi-annual planned maintenance package is very cost effective.
The tech was very professional and courteous. He did a wonderful job and left the place as clean as he found it.
Had my yearly A/C tune up, everything was great and ready for another Summer..
Seth did an excellent job fixing my outdoor pipe problem. He was professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain what was causing the issue and how he was going to fix it. The repair was done efficiently, and everything is now working great. Thanks so much!
