Question 1

What is pipe relining?

Accepted Answer

Pipe relining is a trenchless pipe repair method that inserts a resin-coated liner into an existing pipe. The liner is inflated and cured in place, forming a new, seamless pipe inside the damaged one—without the need for excavation.

Question 2

What types of pipes can be relined?

Accepted Answer

Pipe relining works on sewer pipes, stormwater drains, and pipes made of clay, cast iron, PVC, or concrete. It’s suitable for residential and commercial plumbing systems.

Question 3

How does pipe relining compare to traditional replacement?

Accepted Answer

Pipe relining is less invasive, faster, and usually more cost-effective than traditional replacement. It avoids excavation, preserves landscaping, and often completes in one day, whereas replacement may involve digging and rebuilding.

Question 4

Can pipe relining fix tree root damage?

Accepted Answer

Yes. After clearing out roots, pipe relining creates a jointless interior that prevents future intrusions. It's a permanent fix that seals cracks and gaps where roots previously entered.

Question 5

When should I choose pipe relining over replacement?

Accepted Answer

If your pipes are cracked, leaking, or root-invaded but structurally intact, relining is ideal. If the pipe is fully collapsed, severely corroded, or crushed, full replacement may be necessary.

Question 6

Will pipe relining stop bad smells or sewage leaks?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Relining seals cracks and loose joints, eliminating pathways for gas or wastewater to escape into your yard or home. It helps eliminate odours and health hazards.

Question 7

Can relining prevent basement flooding?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Relined pipes are watertight and prevent leaks near foundations, which can lead to basement flooding during storms or heavy rain.

Question 8

What materials are used in pipe relining?

Accepted Answer

High-quality epoxy resin liners are used. They are durable, corrosion-resistant, root-resistant, and designed to last 30 to 50 years.

Question 9

How long does pipe relining take?

Accepted Answer

Most pipe relining jobs are completed in a single day, sometimes even in just a few hours, depending on the extent of the damage and the length of pipe involved.

Question 10

Do you need to dig to reline a pipe?

Accepted Answer

No. Pipe relining is a trenchless solution that uses existing access points. It avoids digging up driveways, gardens, or floors, making it a clean and non-disruptive repair method.

Question 11

Is pipe relining cheaper than pipe replacement?

Accepted Answer

Yes, especially when you factor in the costs of restoring landscaping or flooring after excavation. Pipe relining is typically faster and more cost-effective.

Question 12

Does insurance cover pipe relining?

Accepted Answer

Some home insurance policies may cover part of the cost, particularly for sudden events like tree root intrusion. We can assist with documentation for claims.

Question 13

How long do relined pipes last?

Accepted Answer

Properly installed epoxy relined pipes are rated to last up to 50 years or more. They’re resistant to roots, corrosion, and soil movement.

Question 14

Can pipe relining increase property value?

Accepted Answer

Yes. It modernises plumbing infrastructure without property disruption, boosts functionality and appeal, and may serve as a selling point for future buyers.

Question 15

Can you reline actively leaking pipes?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Pipe relining is effective for sealing active leaks quickly, especially when excavation would be too slow or invasive.

Question 16

Does relining stop rodents from entering pipes?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Relining seals entry points and creates a jointless surface, preventing rodents and pests from accessing your plumbing system.

Question 17

Can you reline pipes under concrete or flooring?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Trenchless relining works under slabs, tiles, and driveways without disturbing the surface, making it ideal for hard-to-access pipes.

Question 18

Do you provide before and after CCTV footage?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We offer CCTV footage before and after the relining process so you can see the exact damage and the restored result.

Question 19

Accepted Answer

Question 20
