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.

Had a water main issue. Feared it was outside. Set appt online through the website, which was fairly straightforward and easy to do from a user standpoint. Rodney, the Technichian assigned to our job , arrived at about 9am and was done by approx 1030. After carefully assessing the situation , he determined the issue was inside and gave us the estimate for what he believed would solve our issue, making clear this was the simplest and that he wanted to start with that to make the repair. If that didn't work , it would be more involved. He did in fact successfully repair the problem by the simpler means. Would recommend Waterworks and will use them again if needed.
We have been Jonle customers for over 30 years. Customer service is top notch! We have never been disappointed.
Colin showed up during the time window, listened to the issue, discussed options, gave me the estimates, then proceeded to fix the toilet issue. Been fine ever since.
replaced electronic filter for dust in my air handler in the attic that I run just about all year for the a/c & my hot water boiler during winter. JonLe never charged me. Thank You!
Furnace quit so I called them. They sent someone out today and fixed it so I have heat in 12 degrees weather. Very professional service. Friendly and informative. So glad I was referred to them. Need a switch not a new furnace.
Everyone with whom I spoke were professional and understanding of my issue. However, the tech was quick ,neat and knowledgeable, I felt the price for the installation was a little high but it was similar to other companies.
Kevin came out and did a good job. Nice guy pleasant to talk to and very professional.
Waterworks replaced our ice maker water line valve as it was leaking. The technician, Conrad Enoch, was excellent and knowledgeable. I would use them again,
Extremely polite and patient while on the call and followed up perfectly with me afterwards.
Our technician, Chris, was great! He was very knowledgeable and confidently completed our repairs. A+++
Jonle will quote a price in advance, show up on time, with professional and friendly technicians. You can’t ask for more than that.
Mark was very efficient, professional ad took time to explain all he did for me. Even took pictures. He was great!
Jonlee always provides great expertise, service & courtesy. Very happy with their services.
Available same day as I called. On time. Neat and respectful, went immediately to inspect the problem, provided an estimate, and began repairs. Completed quickly and efficiently. Left no mess. All good.
Both techs were very professional and friendly and did a great job with our plumbing projects. The only problem was that they left a lot of solder splashes and blobs on the basement floor, could have done a better job of cleaning up. The upstairs laundry room project was done very well and everything was clean when they left.
Austin was knowledgeable and professional. If needed I would call on Waterworks again.
We move in 10 years ago. Several year ago we had JonLe service our two systems. Our AC units we’re now 15 years old and needed replaced along with the coils. JonLe gave us great prices, great service and the staff finished the job on both systems in one day. Couldn’t be happier, Thanks JonLe John A.
Peter was straight to the point, kind, professional, and prompt. Exceeded my expectations.
We feel that your salesperson and the technicians where very experienced. Happy with the entire service.
We are long-time customers of Jonle. Their staff is always on time, thorough, clean and very professional. And today was nonexception. Mark was great!
We have used Jonle Heating and cooling for more than 30 years. They have always been great to work with!
John Davis was the technician from Waterworks and he was very efficient, professional and courteous
I have been using Jonle for over 20 years. They installed a new furnace last year. Today they did the bi-annual inspection/tune up. Mark Johnston was the technician. He was extremely thorough. Documented/photographed and explained every step of the service. I could not be more pleased. A real pro!!
I needed to have a new kitchen faucet installed. Waterworks was recommended to me by a friend. Just to be sure I checked out their reviews online, which added up to 4.7 out of 5 stars. I called at 7:45 a.m. the day after New Years Day (a Friday morning), and an actual human, who spoke understandable English, answered. I explained my problem, and she checked that day's scheduled openings, of which there were none. That didn't surprise me, but then I was happily surprised when she offered me an appointment Monday morning. I happily booked it, and, sure enough , Kameron showed up right around 8:30. After some show and tell on my part, he quickly, efficiently, and professionally got to work. He found that I needed new hot and cold water shut-off valves with new 1/4-turn angle stops for improved serviceability, which I authorized him to do after showing me the problem. He was most polite, personable and respectful to me and of my home, and knowledgable, finishing the job in a timely manner and to my complete satisfaction. I am putting Waterworks (and Kameron) on my speed dial for any future needs. Can't recommend them highly enough!
Always great service, Jason gave me good information on condition and age of my furnace. He was very knowledgeable and helpful.
Quick very detailed service ,friendly and knowledgeable service person.
