What is pipe relining?

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.

What types of pipes can be relined?

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.

How does pipe relining compare to traditional replacement?

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.

Can pipe relining fix tree root damage?

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.

When should I choose pipe relining over replacement?

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.

Will pipe relining stop bad smells or sewage leaks?

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.

Can relining prevent basement flooding?

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

What materials are used in pipe relining?

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

How long does pipe relining take?

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.

Do you need to dig to reline a pipe?

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.

Is pipe relining cheaper than pipe replacement?

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

Does insurance cover pipe relining?

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.

How long do relined pipes last?

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

Can pipe relining increase property value?

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

Can you reline actively leaking pipes?

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

Does relining stop rodents from entering pipes?

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

Can you reline pipes under concrete or flooring?

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

Do you provide before and after CCTV footage?

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