Pipe Relining Benefits: Cost Savings & Improved Plumbing

What is Pipe Relining and How Does it Work?

Pipe relining is a non-intrusive method that introduces and inflates a resin-impregnated tube within the existing pipe, thereby creating a new interior lining without the need for excavation. This technique reinvigorates any damaged pipe within your plumbing system, providing new life without making use of extensive digging or traditional pipe repair methods.

Our Sydney-based pipe relining specialists employ a flexible textile liner coated in a specialized two-part epoxy resin, highlighting the advantages relining offers over traditional methods. The resin cures, transforming into a robust and long-lasting relining pipe, often facilitated by precision robotic cutting tools. The entire pipe relining process, a pioneering solution for damaged broken pipes distinct from traditional repair methods, is also known as Cured-in-Place Pipe (CIPP), ensuring longevity with durable new lining. It is one most effective approaches to fortify the interior walls of an existing pipe, enhancing flow and resistance against future damage, offering a prime solution in drain repair.

Pipe relining offers a swift and lasting solution to issues like cracked pipes, leaks, and tree root intrusions, compared to pipe replacement.

Once the new lining is cured, repair methods applied can help improve sewer pipes, also enhancing water and gas flow, with services resuming seamlessly after the relining.

Pipe Relining vs Traditional Pipe Replacement

Pipe relining offers multiple benefits over replacement, including high-pressure water resistance, exemplifying its superiority to traditional repairs:

• Sewer pipe relining is less invasive than traditional methods, eliminating the need for trench digging and floor jackhammering. This method also minimises impact on yards and driveways.
• Faster – Pipe relining is typically completed in mere hours, a significant time-saving compared to the days or weeks required for full pipe replacement.
• Less time-intense and cost-effective – On average, relining cuts project expenses by 25-50% owing to lower labour and material costs.
• Durable – Properly installed epoxy resin linings can endure over 50 years, significantly minimising property disruption.
• Minimised disruption to your property – Water, gas, and sewer pipes remain fully functional during the relining process for most projects, ensuring you maintain normal operation.

Though traditional, pipe replacement is now outperformed by pipe relining, which revitalises systems, even for damaged pipes, at a reduced cost, thus protecting the integrity of your property.

Cost Savings from Choosing Pipe Relining

Opting for pipe relining over pipe replacement results in substantial savings across various aspects:

• Labour – As people often wonder, "How long does the work take?", the inside pipe work and less excavation mean pipe relining can be carried out faster, reducing labour fees.
• Materials – The flexible resin-impregnated liner used can be carried out at far less expense than entirely new piping.
• Time –
• Landscaping – Minimal digging prevents damage to pathways, gardens and landscaped areas of your property.

Pipe relining generally costs 25-50% less than full replacement, translating to notable cost savings. With epoxy liners lasting over 50 years, much like new pipes, relining is an economical, long-term solution causing minimal property disruption.

Pipe relining avoids the substantial costs and damage to your property that come with replacing the entire plumbing system. Renovated pipes perform well for many years, reducing future concerns about repair or replacement expenses.

Minimal Disruption to Property and Landscaping

Pipe relining is a minimally invasive method surpassing traditional pipe replacement practices in efficiency. As our plumbers work entirely from inside the pipe, ensuring minimal disruption to the environment around them.

There’s no damage to pathways, gardens, trees, and other landscaped areas around your property due to this trenchless approach. Driveways, building foundations and outdoor structures are also preserved without the need for repairs afterwards.

We use small access points to insert our new pipe lining equipment, avoiding major excavation. The resin-impregnated liner inflated inside your pipes leaves the surrounding soil and landscaping undisturbed once cured. Any external signs of work are temporary and fully reinstated.

This lack of disruption to your property ensures no ongoing access issues for your home business or personal residence. It also removes the safety hazards and unsightly mess caused by large open trenches for pipe replacement projects.

Drain relining permits a restoration of old pipes without the need to excavate and damage your property in the process. Contact us today to explore what pipe relining is and how this trenchless pipe renovation method can help your plumbing system.

Improved Water Flow from Smooth Pipe Interiors

Pipe relining enhances water flow and drainage efficiency, thanks to the smooth interior finish it creates inside pipes. Water, waste, and even hot water flow freely without friction, avoiding obstructions like pits, corrosion, or joints.

Our experts apply seamless epoxy resin inside pipes, thereby enhancing flow rates and preventing mineral deposits, equating to the performance of new pipes. The robust resin material is also resistant to encrustation from waste products.

This results in a more optimised drainage system after relined pipe installation. You can expect stronger water pressure, faster drainage times, reduced backups and fewer instances of blocked drains or slow-flowing taps. System performance is restored for superior efficiency.

Our team is ready to demonstrate the benefits of pipe relining vs traditional pipe replacement in achieving better water flow.

Increased Durability and Longevity of Relined Pipes

How does pipe relining provide enhanced durability and longevity? Absolutely, The robust epoxy resin used creates a pipe lining even stronger than new PVC pipe, resistant to corrosion, impacts and stress damage over time.

This matches or even exceeds the lifespan of many new pipe types which may need replacing every 20-30 years on average.

Advances in pipe engineering ensure relined pipes avoid deterioration, offering reliable functionality for the long haul. Their smooth, impurity-resistant interiors prevent build up and blockages, further extending service life.

You can rely on pipe relining work to provide superior structural integrity and water flow efficiency without leaks, cracks or failures for decades. This extensive added lifespan makes investing in trenchless pipe renovation highly cost-effective long-term.

An Environmentally Friendly Trenchless Solution

Pipe relining offers key environmental benefits over traditional open-trench pipe replacement methods. By avoiding large-scale excavation, there is less impact on surrounding soil, vegetation and ecosystems.

The efficient resin materials used in relining can help reduce wastage during the installation process. And as relined pipes last upwards of 50 years, repeat repairs and replacements over time are minimised.

Pipe relining avoids the need to transport debris or add hazardous waste to local landfills. The existing pipes are simply renovated from the inside rather than ripped up and discarded.

The lack of truck movements, noise, dust and contamination during works prevents disturbance of the local neighbourhood and habitat. Wildlife, trees and plants can remain undisturbed at the site.

Overall, pipe relining provides a sustainable and eco-friendly pipe renovation solution. It conserves resources, reduces waste and limits environmental disruption for the long term compared to traditional pipe replacement projects.

Preventing Issues with Tree Roots and Pipe Damage

Tree roots frequently threaten pipes by penetrating aging or compromised plumbing in their quest for water. As roots grow they exert pressure, exploiting any existing cracks or joints in pipes to penetrate them.

Understanding how pipe relining can be highly effective in resolving tree root-related pipe damage. The seamless epoxy resin in relined pipes creates an impervious barrier against tree roots, solving issues related to root intrusion. This prevents future root intrusion issues.

Signs of tree root damage include a blocked drain pipe:

• Slow or blocked drain pipes
• Water pooling around pipe drain joints
• Musty odours coming from drains
• Visible root growth inside pipes

If tree root damage is suspected, one of our plumbers can inspect pipes using a cctv drain camera to identify affected areas. We can provide pipe relining with a textile liner then encase pipes completely, blocking out roots and restoring unobstructed drainage.

Compared to traditional pipe replacement, engaging a relining specialist avoids the need to remove surrounding trees and landscaping responsible for the damage. The absence of joints or gaps in relined pipes reduces the risk of future tree root intrusions.
