About this tool.
Is lining always cheaper?
Not always. In an open yard with a short run, digging can be competitive. Surface restoration is the swing factor.
Can every pipe be lined?
No. Collapsed or badly bellied pipe may need replacement or bursting.
How accurate are the numbers?
They use editable placeholder rates, so treat them as a conversation starter.
