ABOUT RELINE A PIPE

Yes, pipe relining can be well worth it when you have damaged, cracked, leaking or root-affected pipes that are suitable for a trenchless repair. Unlike traditional pipe replacement, relining can repair the pipe from the inside without extensive excavation, helping reduce disruption to gardens, driveways, concrete and other structures. The long-term durability, reduced restoration work and minimal disruption can make pipe relining a cost-effective alternative to digging up and replacing pipes. Relining can be completed on your sewer line, stormwater drains, gas lines, water lines and many other pipes and drains.

In many situations, yes. While the upfront cost of pipe relining depends on the condition, length and accessibility of the pipe, it can avoid many of the costs associated with excavation, removing the old pipe and restoring landscaping, flooring or other structures. Reline-A-Pipe provides a no-dig alternative where the existing pipe is suitable for relining, potentially making it a more economical long-term solution. Pipe relining also comes with a 25-50 year warranty, meaning that you wont have to pay for repairs on that pipe in the future if you were to opt for traditional pipe replacement.

The biggest advantage is that pipe relining repairs the existing pipe from the inside with an epoxy resin, rather than requiring extensive excavation. This means less disruption to your property, faster repair times and less mess. A resin-coated liner is installed inside the damaged pipe and cured to create a strong new pipe within the existing structure. The newly relined pipes will be stronger than ever before.

A properly installed relined pipes can provide a long-term repair solution to your plumbing system. Reline-A-Pipe offers a 50-year guarantee on its relining work, subject to the applicable terms and conditions. The expected service life of a relined pipe can make it a worthwhile investment for a property owner dealing with recurring or significant pipe damage. Opting for traditional replacement will not have as long a guarantee.

Yes. Pipe relining is an established trenchless repair method that creates a new pipe within the existing damaged or cracked pipes. After the pipe is inspected by CCTV camera inspection and cleaned, a resin-coated liner is inserted and cured in place. The finished liner can restore structural integrity while sealing cracks, leaks and areas affected by tree root intrusion. 

Pipe relining can be a better option when the existing pipe is structurally suitable for relining. It can provide a durable repair while avoiding much of the excavation, demolition, structural repair and restoration associated with traditional replacement. However, not every pipe or situation is suitable, so a CCTV inspection is important before deciding whether relining or replacement is the right approach.

Pipe relining can help prevent tree roots from re-entering through cracks, joints and other damaged sections of the pipe. Before pipe relining a stormwater or sewer line, the existing pipe is cleaned to remove roots and other blockages. The new seamless liner then forms a barrier inside the old pipe, helping prevent further root intrusion through the repaired section.

One of the main benefits of stormwater or sewer pipe relining is that it is a trenchless repair method, so extensive full excavation is generally not required. Depending on the pipe configuration and access points, relining can often be completed with minimal excavation. This can help protect gardens, driveways, concrete slabs and other structures above the damaged pipe.

Reline-A-Pipe specialises in relining a wide range of drainage and service pipes, including hot water, gas, sewer and stormwater systems. Whether they are PVC pipes, clay pipes or other materials, our curing systems have you covered. Depending on the application and condition of the existing pipe, drain relining technology can also be used for services such as water, fire systems, gas and other pipe infrastructure. A professional assessment is required to determine the most suitable epoxy pipe lining method.

Recurring blocked drains, slow drainage, tree root intrusion, cracks, leaks and damaged or deteriorating pipes can all indicate that relining may be worth considering. Reline-A-Pipe uses CCTV inspections to identify the location and condition of pipe damage before recommending a repair solution. This allows the team to determine whether relining, patching, cleaning or another repair method is most appropriate.

Reline-A-Pipe NSW has been providing pipe relining services since 2004 and specialises in residential, commercial and industrial pipe relining.

The best way to determine whether pipe relining is worth it is to have the condition of the pipe assessed first. A CCTV inspection can identify cracks, breaks, tree roots, blockages and other damage and help establish whether the pipe is suitable for relining or epoxy coating systems. Reline-A-Pipe can then recommend the most appropriate repair option and provide a clear quote based on your specific situation.
