Direct answer
Sewer relining inserts and cures a new liner inside a suitable damaged sanitary pipe. A complete scope should identify cleaning, length, diameter, junctions, curing method, warranty and final CCTV.

| Possible factor | What to record safely |
|---|---|
| Root intrusion at defects | Obtain pre-work CCTV |
| Cracks or leaking joints | Confirm how branches reconnect |
| Access beneath finished surfaces | Ask for final footage |
| Need for targeted structural renewal | Check exclusions for collapsed sections |
