What Is Sewer Pipe Relining?

Relining sewer pipes offers a fast and cost-effective method of repairing damaged pipes. Rather than digging from above the ground, our pipe relining services in Melbourne allows us to fix pipes with minimal intervention. Nothing gets dug up, meaning there’s little disruption, less risk of damage to surrounding infrastructure, and minimal mess.

Pipe repairs made using a pipe relining method can last for decades! And unlike replacing the entire pipe, pipe relining is far more affordable.

How Pipe Relining Works

Trenchless Pipe Relining - The Permanent Fix

Advanced pipe relining solutions involve filling the damaged section of a drain with a resin that sets into the drain width, creating a new section of pipe that is long-lasting. Here’s a rundown of our pipe relining process.

Inspect

We use a CCTV camera to inspect your drain. This footage gives us a clear view of exactly where the damage is located, and how far it has progressed. It also highlights other issues with your drains you may not have been aware of.

We wash out the pipes with high-pressure water jets to prepare the pipe for relining.

Insert

The liner is filled with resin and a deflated bladder is inserted into the liner. We then place the liner into the damaged pipe.

When we’ve positioned the liner into the correct position, the bladder expands the liner to form the shape of the new pipe (a pipe, within the damaged pipe).

Frequently Asked Questions

The time it takes to reline a sewer pipe depends on the particular curing method used, (ambient curing will take longer than heat curing). However, The liner should be cured in less than 6 hours.

It’s helpful to be able to show our customers CCTV footage of pipe damage, particularly to strata managers who need to make a case for getting pipes repaired work quickly.

At Drain Fixers, we’re able to provide you with detailed CCTV footage of your drains before we reline your sewer pipes.

Sewer pipe relining is proving indispensable to strata managers in Melbourne, as plumbing issues can be rectified quickly and permanently. Relining pipes has traditionally caused a good deal of inconvenience for residents and/or business owners and workers, however if you reline a sewer pipe using the dig-free method, you can minimise disruption, and people can continue with their day. Relining sewer pipes is also a lot cheaper than a dig method, which is good news for property owners.

Unfortunately not. There are some circumstances where excavation is necessary. This is usually in the following situations:

  • There’s no downstream access available to insert the liner
  • There are badly misaligned or detached joins in the pipes
  • The drain is already collapsed
  • The sewer pipe is falling the wrong way (the water is running backwards)
  • There’s a solid obstruction inside the pipe which cannot be removed.
