When the ground shifts, pipe sections can slide out of alignment, leaving a ledge and a gap at the joint. That gap leaks, collects debris and invites roots. Offset joint repair covers the defect from inside with a sleeve or liner, restoring a smooth flow surface. It is a common finding on camera in older clay and concrete pipe across the Knoxville area.
We measure the offset on video. Small offsets are repaired with a point liner or a full liner that bridges the gap. Large offsets or separated joints may need replacement of that section. We explain which case you have and why, and we confirm the repair by camera.
