Pipe relining is the repairing of damaged pipes by relining them with a liner. It is done by using a sleeve to seal off holes within the pipe. A drain expert that has been hired to reline an old pipe achieves it with the following steps:
* Use of high-pressure water jets to flush out any blockage causing materials, such as tree roots and other debris.
* Measurement of the length of damage in the pipe.
* Cutting out a liner the same length as the damage in the pipe.
* Creation of the sleeve by mixing epoxy resin and dipping the liner into the mixture to soak thoroughly.
* Insertion of the sleeve into the pipe and onto the damaged area.
* Inflation and leaving to sit for approximately 3 hours.
Why Choose Pipe Relining?
Pipe relining is the go-to method of repair of damaged pipes by most people because of the many advantages it holds against other methods of repair. These advantages include the following.
Prevents Leaks
A quality pipe relining job closes off every possible hole that could potentially cause a leak. The epoxy liner that is added within the pipe creates a second layer of protection while closing off every hole.
Saves Time and Money
Pipe relining offers a faster fix of damaged pipes than other methods that take days to complete. It is also a cheaper alternative to excavation due to its low labour needs and longevity. With pipe relining, you save money both during installation and in future maintenance costs.
Offers Durability and Reliability
Pipe relining when conducted by a well-versed plumber can last well over 40 years while remaining just as resistant. It is durable and reliable for a long time, thereby reducing the likelihood of incurred maintenance costs that other methods require.
It is a Non-Hazardous Method
Most times, other methods that require excavation often cause environmental hazards such as pollution and the leakage of sewage waste. Pipe relining, however, avoids this. As no excavation is done during pipe relining, leakages that could cause an environmental hazard are avoided, making the environment safe for its occupants.
Causes Appreciation in Home Value
Homes that are to be sold are inspected to ensure everything is in good working condition – including the drainage system. With a pipe relining job, the value of your property appreciates because your drainage system is in top condition.
Final Thoughts
Taking care of damages that occur in your drainage system should always be prioritised. As we know, the experience of a bad drainage system is never pleasurable, and it is up to us as homeowners to ensure we use the best option there is to avoid drainage issues from damaged pipes.
