            #  Vertical Stack, Vent & Roof Drain Lining 

In a multi-story building the failing pipe is often inside the walls: cast iron stacks and roof drains corroding floor by floor. Lining rehabilitates them from the roof or the basement without opening a single wall.

## The multi-story problem

Hotels, hospitals, apartment towers, student housing and office buildings built with cast iron waste and vent stacks reach an age where the stacks corrode, scale up and start leaking into the floors below. Replacing them means opening walls and ceilings on every floor, relocating occupants, and weeks of construction. Lining rehabilitates the stack from an access point at the top or bottom, in place, while the building stays occupied.

## What we line

- Vertical sanitary waste stacks and the horizontal branches that feed them.
- Vent stacks that have corroded through and are leaking sewer gas into the building.
- Roof drains and internal storm leaders that leak into walls and ceilings.
- Under-slab building drains connecting the stacks to the sewer lateral.

## Why UV lining is the usual choice

[UV-cured liners](/commercial/plumbing/pipe-lining/uv-cured) cure quickly and do not depend on holding hot water in a vertical pipe, so a stack can be lined and back in service in hours rather than a day. Branch connections are reinstated robotically from inside the stack, and a post-cure camera survey documents every floor.

## Planning the work

We survey the building, camera each stack, and produce a floor-by-floor plan that schedules water shut-offs around your operations. Hotels and healthcare facilities typically see one stack lined per shift with the affected rooms back in service the same day.

## Frequently asked questions

Do you have to open walls to line a stack?No. Access is through the roof vent, a cleanout or the base of the stack. Walls stay closed.



Can you line a stack with many branch connections?Yes. The liner covers them during installation and a robotic cutter reopens each branch from inside afterwards.



How long is a floor without water?Typically part of a day for the stack being lined. We schedule the sequence with your operations team and keep the rest of the building running.

    I called Progressive because of storm/tree damage, which took out both my power and caused my water main to burst. Progressive could do both. From my initial call to the arrival of the electrician and plumber, I couldn’t have been more pleased. … I would use them again and highly recommend them for your ‘mechanical’ needs.

    We really appreciate the extra time, phone calls to the supplier, and careful reading of the instructions to do the job right. Gilbert expressed his philosophy as ‘doing the job the way he would want it done in his own home.’ Once again, we are most pleased with the professional and courteous service your company provides.
