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.

Jordan called before he got here, went right to work, cleared the drain̈, put everything back together, tested and left work space clean. Very nice young man.
Excellent service and responded to our service call less than four hours and technician was very professional. We had a clogged tub drain
I never hesitate to call The Waterworks for any of my downspout, drainage, or other needs. They’re professional, honest, and find the most efficient solution. Today, Travis was out to my house, listened to my concerns, took the time to thoroughly investigate the possible causes. He even got on a ladder to check my very full gutter!! One problem solved—just like that! What a gentleman!! I’m so grateful.
Jordan came out, scoped the downspout pipes that were clogged up, removed a bunch of roots and other debris, and also cleaned out the rock-filter box by the road that the pipes dump the water into. (Water had been pouring over our gutters during rains so we assumed the pipes were plugged up before calling Waterworks.) He did a great job and is a super nice young man! 👏👏
We had Mark here for a/c maintenance and he was very knowledgeable about what we need to do to keep our 27 year old a/c running as long as possible. We appreciate his sharing his knowledge to help us limp our system along.
Jonle Heating & Cooling is a company you can trust! All my experiences with the have been positive. Friendly, knowledgeable technicians who know their stuff. I am on a maintenance program that service my heating and cooling systems. They keep them in top shape.
Jason was very friendly and knowledgeable. He shared his findings in a way that was easy to understand and had no problem explaining anything I couldn't. His recommendations seemed based on what was best for my home and my family!
Always on time and courteous. They always explain what exactly they do or what the problem is in laymen’s terms so I understand my options.
The servicemen did a great job. He found my leak when I had another service out here that did not find it so thank you thank you thank you
Todd was my technician and he did an excellent job. I needed my sink unclogged today and nobody was able to help me except Waterworks. I’ve used this company for over 35 years in my place of business and always trusted their reliability and quality of work.
I’ve used Waterworks a few times now and have always had excellent service, problems fixed quickly and prices have always been reasonable. When I have plumbing issues Waterworks is the first company I call. John was out today to fix and replace our sump pump and did a great job!
Easy to schedule service, but price is high. It seemed like the tech made up the price on the spot. Works was well done. Great in a pinch but I would shop around if there is time.
The service man was very prompt, polite professional, and got the job done!
I called in a panick with water in my basement and the technician was out to my house in less than 2 hours on a holiday weekend.
Matt Sunnenberg did a wonderful job diagnosing the problem with our AC. He knew what the issue was before opening the compartment to show me the AC coil unit. 19 years old and the rust and decay of the unit was amassing to see. Matt explained all of our options and the cost involved. His advice to replace all of the AC components made the most sense and we felt most confident in his recommendation. Because of the delay in getting the new AC unit ordered and installed, Matt did us a big favor by adding enough Freon to our existing unit in order to keep the house cool temporarily. Thank you, Mike
The appointment couldn't have gone better. It appears that the hose from the water softener had come loose from the drain pipe and that's what was causing the water problem. Thanks for coming out . I hope the problem was taken care of. I wasnt charged as he was there for less than 15 minutes.
We have been dealing with this company for 30 years. They are top notch and all their technicians are very professional and knowledgeable. We subscribe to their maintenance contracts and as a result we have never had a breakdown. They don't try to sell you stuff that you don't need.
We have used Jonle for all our HVAC needs for many years. They are always responsive, on time, respectful of your property, and do what they say they are going to do. We highly recommend them.
Jonle was wonderful to work with from the start. Patrick was excellent- knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and quickly followed up with a quote and timeframe even though the service manager was out of the office that day. I received prompt communication the next morning about the tech’s arrival window, additional text reminders, and even a call the following morning asking if we’d like to move up our timeframe due to a cancellation. Our service tech Chad was kind, professional, got the job done quickly and spent time answering my questions & talking me through everything. I felt very confident in the work he did and information he provided. Their pricing was competitive and significantly better than one of “bigger” names out there (a company we will never be using again now that we’ve found Jonle). It was more in line with other fairly priced companies. Everything was excellent from start to finish and we will use them again in the future and also recommend to others!
Jonle 's employees are very courteous, experienced, and knowledgeable. I can always count on them when needed. They keep my system up and running!
We've been using JonLe for all our HVAC for many years. They are an A+ company with great people. The technicians are friendly, experienced, and very knowledgeable. We use their maintenance plan and get two checkups a year. Best deal ever. JonLe is a fantastic company and I never expect to use anyone else.
Matt was great and resolved my issues for a reasonable cost. AC up and running
Great experience this morning with Matt , prompt, professional,Went right to work. Diagnosed the issue, anserded my questions,made the repair. Thank You...!
Technician very polite, professional. He was on time and actually early for my scheduled appointment. I have been using Jonle for over 30 years. Never been disappointed.
Waterworks has been a true partner in all aspects of plumbing repairs. At any moment, I can call and the representatives are truly dedicated to ensuring a pleasant experience. The technicians are very professional and take the time to ensure accuracy with all repairs. I will definitely advocate Waterworks for all your plumbing repairs.
Waterworks is my go to company. I have used them many times. They are quick to respond and do a fabulous job!! Their employees are knowledgeable, and provide excellent customer service.
No complaints over the four or five years Jonle has kept our heating and AC working smoothly. Furnace broke down in the freezing weather and they were out the same day, replacing it faster than seemed possible.
JonLe has knowledge technicians who arrive on time and are very good at what they do. They explain everything being done and are proactive on all maintenance items.
We have used Jonle for 20 years and Steve has been our technician the entire time. I keep asking for Steve. He is excellent.. We've had our furnace and A/C unit replaced by Jonle and have saved money on our utility bill. I will not use any other heating company. You can trust this company to do the job right the first time.
Very professional service! I have yearly maintenance done and they are great every year!
I use waterworks for annual maintenance of my drain lines. They are professional and willing to accommodate any scheduling issues. Luke came out today and did a great job.
Been using JonLe for approx 7 or 8 years. My Tech Tim is Great. Very knowledgeable takes his time and leaves everything spotless. Give them a try. You will be .satisfied.
Todd and The Waterworks performed another 5 star service. Greatly appreciate their plumbing and HVAC services.
On a Tuesday evening at 5pm, we described the problem to Waterworks expecting to have to wait a couple of weeks for an appointment. Instead, they were able to get us on the schedule for Thursday afternoon (only 2 days later)! That day, Brian, our plumber, called and texted to say he when he would arrive, and he did right on schedule. He looked at the problem and identified a couple of different ways it could be handled. Then, Brian looked at pricing for each option to determine the one that was most long lasting yet cost effective. He then worked quickly but carefully to complete the job. And Brian did a great job cleaning up! Couldn't be happier with the job.
Very professional, top-notch service. We had an issue with our sump pump, it was resolved and exceeded my expectations. Great job.
I've been with Jonle for years. As always, the service man was excellent, explained everything, answered all my questions, set everything back to my preference, and even brought in my Amazon package from my porch.
We called and got an appointment immediately. Omar came out and looked at our sink and clogged drain letting us know every step what was going on and what he may be doing going forward until our drain was clear. He was very respectful and friendly and would definitely call them again.
