Traditional repairs mean digging up streets, tearing through parking lots, and spending weeks (sometimes months) on excavation and reconstruction — but with CIPP lining New Orleans, Pelican Underground LLC offers a smarter way. Our pipe lining in New Orleans restores damaged pipes from the inside out, no digging required.
Pelican Underground provides CIPP (cured-in-place pipe) lining for commercial buildings across Greater New Orleans — offices, hospitals, hotels, shopping centers, and multi-family/condo properties. Its NASSCO-certified crews rehabilitate horizontal mains, vertical stacks, and risers to ASTM F1216 standards without excavation, keeping tenants in place and operations running. Most sections are lined with only small access points, and CIPP adds a 50–75 year service life. Free commercial pipe assessment available.
We provide trenchless sewer repair services in Covington and the Northshore region, focusing on solutions for aging pipe systems in established neighborhoods. Houma and Terrebonne Parish receive expert trenchless services from our team, addressing unique coastal challenges with no-dig pipe repair solutions. Slidell‘s multi-family residential and commercial buildings rely on our dependable stack lining and pipe repair services. Our team is trained in Perma-Liner installation methods, using high-quality CIPP materials for both ambient cure and steam cure applications throughout our service areas.
CIPP lining is a trenchless sewer lining method that rehabilitates deteriorating pipes from the inside. Instead of digging up and replacing damaged sewer lines, we insert a flexible felt tube saturated with epoxy resin into the existing pipe. Once positioned, we cure the resin using heat, steam, or UV light. The result? A seamless, jointless, structurally sound new pipe inside your old one.
CIPP lining is just one component of our broader range of underground infrastructure solutions, which address the full spectrum of pipeline repair, rehabilitation, and maintenance needs through our commercial solutions.
| Factor | CIPP Lining | Traditional Excavation |
|---|---|---|
| Cost (residential) | $4,000–$12,000 | $8,000–$25,000+ |
| Cost per linear foot | $80–$250 | $50–$150 (pipe only, excludes restoration) |
| Project duration | 1 day | 3–7 days |
| Property disruption | Minimal — access points only | Major excavation of lawn/driveway |
| Landscape restoration needed | No | Yes ($2,000–$10,000 typical in New Orleans) |
| Service life | 50–75 years (ASTM F1216) | 50+ years (new pipe) |
| NASSCO standards | Yes — PACP/MACP inspection | Optional |
| Best for | Structurally sound host pipe | Collapsed or severely offset pipe |
For most New Orleans homeowners, CIPP lining is the cost-effective choice when the existing pipe retains its shape. The savings come not just from lower labor costs, but from eliminating the $2,000–$10,000 in landscape, driveway, and pavement restoration that excavation requires. Pelican Underground performs a free sewer camera inspection to determine whether your pipe is a candidate for lining.

Pelican Underground provides CIPP lining for commercial buildings throughout Greater New Orleans and the Gulf Coast. It rehabilitates deteriorating sewer and drain lines — including horizontal mains, vertical stacks, and floor-by-floor risers — from the inside, using a resin-saturated liner cured to ASTM F1216 standards by NASSCO-certified (PACP/MACP/LACP) technicians. Because the work uses only small access points, tenants stay in place, businesses keep operating, and there’s no wall, floor, or parking-lot demolition. Pelican serves offices, hospitals, hotels, restaurants, shopping centers, industrial facilities, and multi-family and condo properties, and has renewed thousands of feet of aging pipeline — including a no-dig lining project for a major university. A CIPP-lined pipe is seamless and jointless, eliminating the root-intrusion and leak points of the original, and adds a 50–75 year service life. Every commercial project begins with a video camera inspection to confirm the host pipe is a lining candidate.
