Pipe Relining Basics: A Modern Solution for Damaged Pipes

You've likely heard of pipe relining if you have damaged pipes, such as stormwater drains, sewer lines, or pool plumbing. At All Needs Plumbing, we specialise in pipe relining services, offering homeowners and businesses a hassle-free way to restore their plumbing systems. With trenchless pipe relining, you can avoid the mess and expense of traditional repairs while ensuring long-lasting results.

What Is Pipe Relining?

Pipe relining is a trenchless repair technique that creates a new pipe within an existing one using durable epoxy resin liners. This method works for various pipe types, including stormwater, clay, copper, and pool pipes, and eliminates the need for disruptive excavation.

Here’s how the relining process works:

1. Inspection

We use CCTV cameras to locate and assess damage inside your pipes. This is an essential step in determining the exact location and severity of the damage.

2. Cleaning

High-pressure water jets remove debris and prepare the pipe for relining. This helps the new liner stick properly to the pipe walls.

3. Liner Installation

A liner soaked in resin is put into the pipe and inflated to fit tightly against the walls. It is made so that the liner can fit into the shape of the existing pipe.

4. Curing

The resin hardens in place, forming a new pipe within the old one. This process usually takes a few hours, but it depends on the size of the pipe and the weather.

5. Final Check

We inspect the relined pipe to ensure it’s functioning perfectly. This final step ensures that the relining process was successful and that your plumbing system is restored to full functionality.

Benefits of Pipe Relining

Pipe relining offers several advantages over traditional repairs:

No Digging

Preserve your landscaping with trenchless technology. This means no trenches, mess, or damage to your garden or driveway.

Cost-Effective

Using this method instead of digging can save up to half as much money. Traditional pipe replacement often involves costly excavation and landscaping repairs.

Durable

With proper installation and maintenance, relined pipes last over 50 years. This extended lifespan means fewer future repairs and less maintenance hassle.

Quick Turnaround

Most jobs are completed within a day, minimising downtime and ensuring your plumbing system is back in operation quickly.

Versatile Applications

Pipe relining is a versatile solution for sewer lines, stormwater systems, pool plumbing, and more. It is suitable for residential or commercial plumbing needs.

Pro-Tip: If you notice slow drainage or frequent blockages, call us immediately for an inspection before the problem worsens. If the problem is found early, it can be fixed before it worsens and costs more.

Types of Pipes We Reline

At All Needs Plumbing, we offer tailored solutions for different types of pipes:

Stormwater Pipe Relining

Stormwater pipes often become blocked due to debris or root intrusion, leading to flooding and property damage. Our stormwater pipe relining services restore functionality without disrupting your landscape. This is very important if you do not want water to build up and cause damage to your home or building.

Clay Pipe Relining

Older homes often have clay pipes that are prone to cracking and root intrusion. Our clay pipe relining solutions seal cracks and prevent further damage while extending the lifespan of your plumbing system. Clay pipes are standard in older properties, and relining them is a cost-effective way to avoid frequent repairs.

Copper Pipe Relining

These are often corroded, but our relining services can prevent further deterioration without costly replacements. Copper pipes are valuable. Relining copper pipes can save you money on replacement costs.

Pool Pipe Relining

Yes, you can reline pool pipes! This service stops leaks in pool plumbing systems while maintaining water circulation efficiency. Pool pipes are subject to high water pressure and chemical exposure, making relining an effective way to extend their lifespan.

We also use advanced techniques like ACE Pipe Relining and APS Pipe Relining for residential and commercial properties, ensuring high-quality results every time. These methods provide durable and long-lasting solutions tailored to your specific plumbing needs.

Pro-Tip: Regular maintenance checks can help prevent major plumbing issues. Schedule annual inspections to keep your pipes in top condition.
