About

About Waterline Renewal Technologies Waterline Renewal Technologies is a leading provider of innovative products, technologies, and services in the trenchless rehabilitation industry. We specialize in restoring degraded infrastructure and preventing inflow and infiltration in drain, sewer, and stormwater systems through advanced, trenchless solutions. Founded on the acquisition of LMK Technologies and Perma-Liner Industries in 2012, our company introduced groundbreaking technologies to both residential and municipal markets. These acquisitions set the foundation for our leadership in the industry. In the municipal market, the addition of APM Permaform in 2014 further strengthened our portfolio with solutions that provide structural integrity and corrosion protection. APM’s trusted brands—ConShield, CentriPipe, and Permacast—extend the lifespan of municipal storm and sewer systems. Meanwhile, LMK Technologies continues to lead with its innovative cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) products like the T-Liner® and Insignia®, setting industry standards for watertight lateral rehabilitation. In the residential market, Perma-Liner Industries is the trusted leader, offering efficient and minimally disruptive solutions for small-diameter lateral pipeline rehabilitation. PLI’s products are designed to meet the needs of contractors and homeowners, ensuring reliable and cost-effective repairs. In 2021, we expanded our reach through the acquisition of Pipe Lining Supply, enhancing our trenchless solutions portfolio and significantly growing our West Coast distribution network. This acquisition allowed us to deliver a broader range of products to contractors nationwide, particularly in key markets requiring localized support. Around this time, we also expanded the adoption of LightRay, our advanced UV-cured repair system. LightRay combines efficiency, speed, and sustainability, enabling faster project turnaround with minimal disruption. Its state-of-the-art LED light technology ensures durable, precise repairs, setting a new standard for pipeline rehabilitation in both residential and municipal markets. Waterline Renewal Technologies is owned by Behrman Capital, a private equity firm dedicated to driving growth in middle-market businesses. Their strategic partnership enables us to continually expand and innovate in both residential and municipal markets, with flagship products like LightRay leading the evolution of trenchless technology. Headquartered in Ottawa, IL, with distribution facilities across the United States, Waterline Renewal Technologies is committed to delivering advanced infrastructure rehabilitation solutions nationwide.
