Coconut Grove follows the City of Miami’s rules for trees and historic properties, and those rules shape how your sewer can be reached. Tell us what your drains are doing and what grows or stands over your line. We inspect it and explain whether lining can reduce the digging in your yard.

Coconut Grove homes
If you want to retain a floor, cabinet or landscape feature, tell us before work is planned. Its location relative to the affected line matters more than assuming a particular repair from the age of your home.
If a tree stands over or beside your line, tell us. Our camera shows whether roots have entered a joint, and we clear the line before deciding whether its pipe needs repair.
When your pipe is suitable, lining it from inside can leave your patio, plantings and paths in place for most of the work. We tell you before work starts if any opening is still needed.
Before work starts in Coconut Grove
Coconut Grove is a neighborhood of the City of Miami, so City rules govern work at your home. The City decides each permit; we plan your repair around the rules it touches.
Under Chapter 17 of the City Code, most tree removal or relocation needs a tree removal permit, and pruning more than a quarter of a tree’s canopy in a year needs a pruning permit. If a tree stands over your sewer, lining your pipe from inside can reduce the digging near its roots when your pipe is suitable.
The City requires a Certificate of Appropriateness for work on historic properties, and its designated areas include the Coconut Grove Village West Multiple Property Designation. Tell us if your home is designated, because that review belongs in your schedule.
For a designated building, the City says a small repair that already has a building permit does not need its own Certificate of Appropriateness, while larger alterations go to its preservation board. Knowing which side your repair falls on helps you choose between lining and an excavated replacement.
Trenchless lining in Coconut Grove
Trees, patios and plantings over your line are reasons to look at lining first. Your pipe’s condition decides whether lining fits; a collapsed section still needs an opening.
Step 1 of 4
Our camera shows each joint where roots have pushed in and how far along your line they reach. We record the footage so you see what we see.
Root intrusionStep 2 of 4
We cut the roots back to the pipe wall and wash out the debris they leave, so the liner meets clean pipe.
Root cuttingStep 3 of 4
We set up our lining equipment at your access point, which can be a patio or a side yard, and cure a resin liner against your existing pipe wall. The cured liner forms a continuous wall across the joints where roots came in.
Step 4 of 4
We run our camera through your lined section and go over the recording with you, joint by joint.

Questions from Coconut Grove
Removing or relocating most trees on your property needs a City of Miami tree removal permit, and heavy pruning needs one too. If your sewer runs under a tree, we first check whether your pipe can be lined from inside, which can reduce the digging near it.
No. Coconut Grove is a neighborhood of the City of Miami, so City of Miami permits and historic preservation rules apply to work at your home.
Yes. The City requires a Certificate of Appropriateness for work on historic properties, and a smaller repair that already has a building permit does not need a separate one. Tell us about the designation when you call so it is part of our plan for your sewer.
