What is pipe relining and how does it work?
Pipe relining, a trenchless technique, minimises disruption to your yard and pathways during sewer repair. It involves inserting a resin-coated liner into the sewer pipes need repair, which then hardens, effectively creating new piping within the old one. This process is suitable for commercial, industrial and residential plumbing systems helping to keep your pipe systems free from issues like cracks, blockages or root intrusions.
The benefits of pipe relining for your drain repair over traditional pipe replacement are clear since it causes minimal disruption to your operations and landscapes. The seamless epoxy liner, installed by our experienced professionals, bonds firmly inside old pipe walls, providing a smooth, jointless flow path that can last over 50 years. Relined drains ensure better flow rates and increased resistance to damage with our professionals’ expertise.
The relining process begins with a comprehensive assessment using CCTV drain cameras to identify pipe conditions and defects. The new liner expands to fit firmly against your existing pipe drain walls and UV light is used to cure the resin.
Then a flexible fibreglass liner, promising a long lasting repair, coated with epoxy resin is inserted into the damaged pipe. This results in a rejuvenated pipe with improved flow and durability, essentially a 'pipe within a pipe’. There’s absolutely no need for extensive excavation or restoration work afterwards.
Our plumbing services benefit our clients by offering numerous advantages, ensuring effective solutions are delivered every time, enabling businesses to carry out cost-effective repairs with minimal operational disruption. The trenchless process takes just a few hours, requires no heavy machinery onsite and guarantees a swift clean up, ensuring just a few interruptions to your business activities. Our expert pipe relining services require minimal adjustments to ensure your drainage system functions seamlessly for years.
Comparing pipe relining to traditional pipe replacement
Pipe relining proves more efficient for many, offering little to no disruption to your business in contrast to traditional methods requiring excavation.
Pipe Relining Pipe Replacement
Duration | Usually less than a day | Can take several days |
Cost | Less expensive since there is no excavation or restoration required | Higher cost due to excavation, removal of old pipe and restoration |
Disruption | Minimal, business can remain open | Major, business may need to close temporarily |
Pipe relining, the nodig pipe solution, involves minimal disruption to your business operations and infrastructure. A mere small access point into pipe systems is required for lining insertion, thereby sidestepping the need for costly disruptive trench digging and heavy machinery on the premises. Overall downtime and impact is minimal, allowing your business to keep operating.
Conversely, traditional pipe replacement is more intrusive, often necessitating the excavation of pipes and creation of trenches. Heavy machinery must access the site, which can damage landscape and foundations. The process often takes longer, resulting in more lost operating time and revenue.

Pipe relining prolongs the life of pipes
Pipe lining highlights the advantages of relining, extending the life of your water system by fortifying existing pipes. The advanced relining technology involves a durable epoxy resin lining that bonds securely to old pipe walls, ensuring hot water flows without further wear, corrosion and damage.
Relined pipes present a resilient barricade against tree root intrusions, as well as to cracks, leaks, and blocked drains, much more so than older pipes. Root cutting is no longer required to repair your blocked drain, and the smooth surface prevents buildup and improves flow. This results in superior longevity compared to pipes that have not been relined.
While untreated pipes may continue to fail every few years, requiring frequent repairs, relined pipes can last over 50 years without needing replacement. Fewer repairs equals less spending on ongoing plumbing maintenance over the long term.
In essence, pipe relining amounts to a permanent solution for comprehensive pipe rehabilitation, empowering your pipes to function akin to brand-new ones. The life expectancy of your plumbing system is significantly prolonged through this trenchless method. Expert relining helps circumvent costly pipe replacement projects for the long term.

Are there any alternatives to pipe relining?
The main alternative to pipe relining is full pipe replacement, which involves digging up and removing old pipes. This traditional approach, often involving costly excavation, is reserved for when other methods are unsuitable, particularly with severely damaged or collapsed pipes.
In most cases however, Pipe relining stands as the best option for a pipe repair method over replacement due to being far less invasive and disruptive. The only scenario where full pipe replacement may be necessary is if pipes are completely blocked or collapsed, no longer structurally sound for relining.
Partial pipe replacement is another alternative when only sections of piping are damaged. Here, problem segments are swapped out while leaving most pipes intact. Yet, this alternative still necessitates excavation and subsequent restoration efforts.
Compared to more intrusive options, pipe relining enables sewer line restoration with just two small access points. No digging or demolition is needed, making it the least disruptive and most cost-effective solution in a majority of situations.
