Keep Your Drains Flowing Smoothly With Pipe Relining
Struggling with constant drainage issues? Are your pipes becoming blocked again and again? There’s a good chance your blocked drain troubles are the result of damaged pipes.
This is especially true in the case of tree roots burrowing into cracks in your pipes. Even if you use high-pressure water jetting or an electrical eel to remove the roots, unless the damaged sections of your drains are fixed, you’re likely to have regular blockages as the roots find their way back in again.
Apart from flushable wipes and other toiletries, tree roots are the most common cause of blocked drains we see in Wollongong homes.
The solution? Pipe relining.
Relining Your Pipes
Pipe relining involves inserting material from within the inside of your pipes, which covers and seals the cracked or damaged section. The material is impregnated with epoxy resin, which makes it flexible as well as extremely durable. The point is to create a lining that is watertight and helps prevent blocked drains in the future.
How Long Do Relined Pipes Last?
People have measured and re-measured in many different ways, and even though estimates are varied, most agree that re-lining lasts around 20 years. This means that the lining may actually outlast a PVC pipe.
How Many Ways are Pipes Relined?
In reality, there are several ways. This includes cured in place (CIPP) pipe relining, slip lining, and fold-and-form lining, each with their own advantages and disadvantages.
