Dr. Canalisation Lyon
Expert in pipe lining in the Rhône-Alpes region
Pipe rehabilitation without excavation work
Lyon boasts an exceptionally rich architectural heritage—and plumbing systems that are often as old as the buildings themselves. Cast-iron risers in the buildings of the Presqu’île, underground networks beneath the courtyards of the Croix-Rousse, and sandstone mains in Old Lyon: these century-old pipes eventually wear out.
Traditionally, renovations involve breaking down walls, lifting slabs, and digging trenches in narrow courtyards. Pipe lining is a game-changer. A resin liner is sprayed inside the worn-out pipe, where it hardens in place to form a brand-new conduit. The entire process is carried out through existing access points, without any demolition.
Yes, and more and more property managers in Lyon are choosing this option. Lining renovates the risers from the inside without having to dismantle them. There’s no need to enter the apartments (no access hatches, no drilling), the construction time is shorter, and the overall cost is much lower. Florian prepares detailed estimates that are suitable for approval at general meetings.
Exactly. The liner is inserted from the base or the top of the column and expanded to cover its entire length. UV curing ensures uniform hardening even over long vertical sections. This is one of the most common procedures Florian performs in buildings in Lyon.
Yes. Underground drainage pipes beneath parking lots are a common source of leaks in Lyon, especially in apartment buildings constructed between the 1960s and 1980s. Florian accesses the pipes through the parking lot’s manholes, performs pipe lining without disturbing the concrete slab or the parking spaces, and restores the waterproofing.
Florian responds within 24 to 48 hours for the camera inspection. The pipe lining work is generally scheduled within the following week, depending on availability and the complexity of the job. In case of an emergency (active leak, water damage), he makes arrangements to respond as quickly as possible. This is more cost-effective than a traditional replacement, especially since earthwork in Polynesia (material transport, restoration) is particularly expensive. Sacha provides a free estimate after the camera inspection.
For a plumbing technician, Lyon is unlike any other city. Access is often difficult: narrow courtyards, traboules, vaulted basements, and underground parking garages. You have to be familiar with these layouts to work effectively. Florian works in the Lyon metropolitan area and deals with these challenges on a daily basis.

A professional team lined 10 linear meters of my home. My pipe, damaged over the years, was completely restored. Everything is clear: seriousness and service.
I'd been told that the pipe in my pool was too badly damaged and had to be replaced. In the end, thanks to the liner, everything was repaired in just a few hours, without any breakage and without draining the pool. The result was impeccable, the team professional and very informative. A real relief.
