Lateral Lining 

The reline process is very similar to that used in mainline sewers. A resin impregnated liner is pulled through the lateral. The resin used is specially designed to have a less noticeable odour.
Laterals in poor structural condition and those in areas with a very high water table are prime candidates for complete lateral relining. The lateral is inspected, reamed to remove roots, and cleaned. Then a resin impregnated liner is pulled through the lateral and inflated under pressure to conform to the pipe to essentially create a pipe within a pipe. DMR has completed over a hundred installations with this technique. Preparation and public relations are key components to this type of work and DMR has the referrals and documented proof of its capability in this relatively new arena.

Additional Comments

Needlessly digging up someones front lawn

Eliminates the need for "digging up" the front yards of homes.
Particularly useful in mature areas which usually coincides with older sewer systems.
Requires special attention to residential concerns and considerable public involvement.
