Frequently asked questions about relining in Sydney

EXPERT PIPE RELINING SERVICES

What size hole needs to be dug in order to start the relining process?

Excavation can typically be totally avoided depending on the existing pipe configuration and repair style. If necessary, only one small excavation will be required.

Is there going to be a decrease in the pipe diameter?

The pipe’s overall diameter decreases by 6mm, but this does not impact its required capacity. In fact, the smoother inner surface of the pipe improves flow rate and self-cleansing properties.

What are the measurements for the pipe’s diameter and length?

We have the capability to process lines ranging from 50mm to 250mm in diameter, with a maximum length of up to 50 meters or more.

Do you only line sewer lines?

It is possible to line any pipe, whether it is horizontal or vertical, round or rectangular, for sanitary sewer, stormwater, or any other waste or water pipe or drainage system.

Can you reline bends in the pipework?

It is possible to reline multiple bends with just one liner. Our team have the skill and equipment to do this.

Can you reline junctions?

Yes, we have the capability to install a full one-piece junction liner and restore junctions.

Which types of pipes are suitable for relining?

Any kind of pipe can be relined. Whether its a pool pipe, fire service, sewer, stormwater, gas pipes or trade waste – we can reline them all.

What will occur if the roots have gone into the pipe?

The pipe undergoes cleaning using high-pressure water jet, typically resulting in root removal that allows for problem assessment. After cleaning, the pipe can be relined to prevent root re-entry.

What is the size of the pipe that can be relined?

Pipes ranging from 40mm to 225mm in diameter are eligible for relining.

Is relining expensive?

When considering all aspects, relining the pipe is a cost-effective and eco-friendly option in comparison to digging up and replacing it.

Is relining guaranteed?

We offer a 50 year guarantee on every job we complete, which is typically double the guarantee provided by most plumbers who opt to dig up and replace instead.

Will roots be able to re-enter my pipe after it has been relined?

No, the liner creates a new pipe within the old pipe so strong that the tree roots cannot enter.

Can you fix a broken junction piece?

The one-piece junction seal can be installed in 100 or 150mm junctions with different configurations for both 45 and 90 degree applications.

What is the reason many plumbers don’t recommend this type of repair?

Put simply, not all plumbers are trained in relining and may not have the capacity to do relining. Many plumbers also resist change and hesitate to provide services they are unfamiliar with. Relining can be viewed as a threat by some plumbers, as it eliminates the need for line cleaning.

I need to figure out if relining is appropriate for my application and if it will solve my issue.

A camera inspection is necessary to decide on the most suitable repair method for each situation. While relining may not work in all cases, it could still be required in addition to traditional repair techniques.

The Cost of Pipe Relining in Sydney

What is the price of pipe relining services in Sydney?

If you’re curious about the cost of pipe relining in Sydney, Reline-A-Pipe provides customised pricing based on your requirements and budget. Typically, we determine the cost per meter for pipe relining.

The price of pipe relining per meter varies from $400 to $1200 or higher, depending on the size, length, and accessibility of the pipes being worked on.

In order to determine the reline requirements, a professional plumber or pipe specialist must evaluate the damage and extent of repairs. This assessment can be conducted visually or with specialised tools like a CCTV camera for internal pipe inspection.

The plumber can calculate the required pipe relining meters and cost of the project. Professional pipe evaluation is crucial for accurate repairs and preventing future damage or expenses.

Distinction between Pipe Relining and Replacement

Pipe relining and pipe replacement are two distinct methods utilised to fix or substitute damaged pipes. Pipe relining consists of placing an epoxy resin liner inside the current host pipe and inflating it to completely seal the old pipe. This approach is quicker, less intrusive, and more budget-friendly compared to conventional pipe replacement, which entails excavation and potential property damage.

Pipe replacement involves removing and replacing damaged pipes with new ones, which can be time-consuming and expensive. Although pipe relining may have higher short-term costs, it is often a more practical and cost-effective solution in the long run considering the added expenses and disruption caused by pipe replacement.

We offer pipe relining, blocked drains services, strata relining, and commercial relining services. This process can be carried out on PVC pipes, Copper pipes, terracotta pipes, steel pipes and many more.

One of the advantages of pipe relining is that it is quicker and less invasive, avoiding the need to disrupt your yard or driveway. Additionally, it is a cost-effective option compared to traditional pipe replacement due to the elimination of excavation and property damage expenses in the long term.

The choice seems clear to us.

What is the process of pipe lining in Sydney?

We start by using a high pressure water jet to clear the drain. Then, we use a CCTV camera to find any issues in the drain. Next, we put in a liner made of poly-woven, felt, or fibreglass impregnated with epoxy resin. This liner is inflated or inverted to replace the old pipework. After inflation or inversion, the resin is cured with hot water, steam, or ambient air to create a strong seal. Once the resin sets, we check the system, and the pipe relining process is finished.
