What Is Pipe Relining and When Do You Need It?

Pipe relining is a clever, less invasive solution to repairing damaged pipes. With an internal restoration process, experienced plumbers use it for remedying cracks or leaks, old pipe materials, and mild to moderate blockages. Read more to explore the reasons why you might need pipe relining in your plumbing system.

We get it—you’ve cleaned your drains and tried everything to help water flow, but no matter what you’ve done, it still doesn’t drain well enough. We’re here to tell you that a full pipe replacement might be excessive… and costly. What you may need is for a section of your pipes to be relined.

What Is Pipe Relining?

Pipe relining is a modern method of repairing damaged pipes. The process restores the pipe from the inside, saving your plumbing system, property, and house or business from undertaking a complete excavation project. Ordinarily, that would entail ripping up your floors, trenching, and carrying out the work underground. We all know how expensive that sounds.

To break it down, think of a liner being inserted into the existing pipe, which is then cured to form a new seamless pipe within the old one. The good news is that it can all be done from above the ground; minimal or sometimes no excavation required

A Professional Plumber's Advice - Do You Need It?

There are significant benefits to having pipe relining carried out. The value comes in its cost-effectiveness, minimal disruptions and destruction, restored structural integrity, and sectional lining technology. One of the most significant key differences you will find is in the strength of the new pipe lining. That’s because the additional layer of piping reduces risks like leaks and root infiltration.

Pipe relining is an option if you have cracks or leaks in your plumbing, tree root intrusions, erosion or wear and tear on old pipes. It’s important to note, however, that if a pipe has completely collapsed, is sagging extensively, or is damaged beyond repair, a full pipe replacement might be needed.

Additionally, if your plumbing runs below any of the following, pipe relining is often the recommended solution:

• Swimming pools

• Retaining walls

• Driveways

• Concrete slabs for homes

• Motels, pubs and clubs
