Abstract
A method and apparatus provides an enclosed pipe repair where two pipe segments extend through first and second ends of the enclosure to a volume in the enclosure housing the repair. The enclosure surrounds the repair to hopefully prevent roots from accessing the repair in many cases, and if a second problem exists, to provide access to the site of the repair through a lid in the enclosure.
