69 ft cast iron sewer lined same-day after repeated jetting in Brentwood, Los Angeles

The situation

The homeowner in the Brentwood area had paid to have her line hydro-jetted twice in six months, and the third backup came up through the downstairs bathroom. Jetting clears roots; it does not repair the cracks they leave behind, and the camera showed the cast iron pipe had cracked where the roots came in.

The fix

The technician had enough liner on the truck to start immediately. He jetted the line one more time to prepare the pipe, inverted the liner through the full 69 feet and let it cure for about five hours. She now has a seamless pipe with no joints for roots to find, and no more twice-yearly jetting bills.
