Lateral-connection repair

We repair the junction where your lateral meets your sewer main.

Our crews install connection liners, including TYGERPatch, at suitable tee and wye junctions. The liner treats the damaged meeting point between your lateral and main and can address groundwater entering through that junction. We inspect the connection before installation and provide before-and-after CCTV footage with the repair.

We use TYGERPatch to repair suitable tee and wye connections.

Our crews use TYGERPatch, Source One Environmental's cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) connection-repair system, at suitable junctions between your sewer main and lateral. A tee connection meets the main at a right angle; a wye enters at an angle. We inspect the junction and surrounding pipe before selecting and installing the connection liner.

The resin-bearing liner spans the junction and extends a short distance into the lateral. We position it against the prepared pipe and cure it in place to repair the damaged connection and address groundwater entering there. The TYGERPatch product family includes full-circumference and top-hat configurations; the selected configuration determines how much of the main and lateral is treated.

02

A leaking connection needs its own treatment after mainline lining.

A mainline liner follows your sewer main. If it covers a lateral opening, robotic reinstatement reopens that opening for flow. Reopening the connection does not automatically seal groundwater entry around the junction.

Where your inspection identifies a suitable damaged junction, connection lining treats that area separately. We can coordinate connection repairs with other selected rehabilitation locations in your municipality's or facility's sewer system.

03

We record your connection before and after repair.

Our CCTV operator reviews the pipe interior. Inspection shows the connection geometry and surrounding pipe condition.

Your repair package includes CCTV footage before and after installation at each treated connection. Your staff and engineer can review the original visible condition and the completed junction repair alongside the rest of your rehabilitation records.

Connection repair treats the selected junction. It does not rehabilitate the entire lateral toward a building or remove every source of unwanted water elsewhere in your collection system.

Find your project location in our service area.

We serve municipal, commercial and institutional sewer projects in Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Arkansas and Colorado. Tell us where your sewer is located and which assets need inspection, maintenance or repair so we can discuss the project requirements and scheduling.

Our local sales territories cover all 99 Iowa counties, six eastern Nebraska counties and Union County, South Dakota. The territory pages list their communities, counties and CIT contacts. For projects elsewhere in our six-state service area, use the full service-area page.

Plan repairs for your sewer connections.

Do you repair both tee and wye connections?
TYGERPatch supports suitable tee and wye junctions. We review the connection shape, surrounding pipe condition and access before selecting the configuration for your repair.
Is connection lining the same as a mainline point repair?
No. A mainline point repair covers a selected defect in the main. A connection liner treats the junction where your lateral meets that main. The location and geometry of the damage determine which treatment fits.
Can we include connection repairs in a larger rehabilitation project?
Yes. We can group suitable point and connection repairs in one mobilization. Tell us the locations, available footage and your project's flow, access and timing requirements so we can discuss the installation sequence.
