What Is Pipeline & Brush Coating?

Pipeline and brush coating are modern trenchless sewer repair methods that strengthen damaged pipes without requiring large-scale excavation. These services are ideal for customers who want to preserve their landscaping or avoid costly demolition.

  • Pipe lining involves inserting an epoxy-saturated liner into the damaged pipe and curing it in place—creating a new, seamless interior “pipe within a pipe.”
  • Brush coating uses a rotating brush to apply epoxy directly to the damaged areas, sealing cracks and preventing further deterioration.

Both methods are non-intrusive, cost-effective, and designed for long-term durability.

How It Works: Step-by-Step

1. Camera Inspection

We start with a high-definition camera inspection to locate problem areas and determine whether your pipe qualifies for lining or brush coating. Our experts will also review walk you through jurisdictional regulations and code to ensure we keep your home up to code. This helps our team recommend the right solution based on the severity and location of the damage.

2. Pipe Preparation

Before any epoxy is applied, we hydrojet the inside of the pipe to remove debris, roots, and buildup. This ensures a clean surface for maximum adhesion and durability.

3. Epoxy Application

  • For pipe lining, we insert an epoxy-soaked sleeve into the pipe and inflate it to create a new lining that hardens in place.
  • For brush coating, we use a spinning brush tool to apply epoxy only where needed—perfect for spot repairs.

What Is Pipe Bursting?

Pipe bursting is another trenchless method we offer for severely damaged or collapsed pipes. It involves inserting a hydraulic expansion tool, equipped with a steel bullet head, through the existing sewer line. As it travels forward, the tool fractures the old pipe outward into the surrounding soil (hence the “bursting”) and simultaneously pulls a new solid PVC pipe into place behind it. This new pipe spans the full length of the old line and follows the same route and slope. While this method does require some excavation at both ends of the damaged section (typically 20′ to 150′ apart), it avoids the need to dig a continuous trench, preserving your yard, landscaping, and structures.

Pipe bursting is ideal when a sewer line has collapsed or has extensive root intrusion that makes other repair methods ineffective.

When to Choose Pipeline, Brush Coating, or Pipe Bursting

Bonney offers all three trenchless repair methods because every home—and every pipe—is different. Here’s how to decide:

  • Brush Coating is a trenchless method with minimal excavation.  10-Year Warranty on epoxy coating material and 5-Year Workmanship Warranty (New Connections Only).  Non-transferable.  All snaking or cabling of line must be done by Bonney to validate warranty.
  • Pipe Lining is a trenchless method with minimal, but deeper excavation.  10-Year Warranty on epoxy & material and 5-Year Workmanship Warranty (New Connections Only).  Non-transferable.  All snaking or cabling of line must be done by Bonney to validate warranty.
    Pipe Bursting is a trenchless method with excavation to depth of pipe in at least two locations.  Lifetime warranty for full length of new pipe & 5-Year Workmanship Warranty.  All snaking or cabling of line must be done by Bonney to validate warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does epoxy pipe coating last?

Both pipe lining and brush coating come with a 10-year warranty on epoxy & material and a 5-year warranty on workmanship from Bonney. These epoxy solutions are engineered to last for decades under normal use.
