A damaged drain doesn’t mean you need to rip up your plumbing. In 2025, drain relining can restore your pipes to their former glory. It’s a smart solution that tackles the problem area without digging up your yard or replacing huge sections of your existing system.
However, it’s not a job for a novice. Hiring experienced professionals from drain relining companies is the best and safest way to get the job done. Here’s why.
1. They have the right mechanical tools for the job
Relining pipes takes more than a few tools for a garden shed. Professionals combine multiple pieces of advanced mechanical equipment — high-pressure hydro jets, CCTV cameras, robotic cutters, etc. — to clean and reline your pipes. They do this with care and precision. They know how to assess damage, clean out debris, and install a resin-filled liner to create a new pipe just as good as the old material.
All of this is beyond the skills of the average homeowner, who can do more harm than good with quick DIY jobs.
2. They have experience and craft
Professionals have years, even decades, of experience. They know what to expect and how to adapt. They can spot hidden issues that might not be immediately evident. These include cracked junctions and tree root intrusion. And when it comes to repairing tricky spots (like tight bends or vertical sections), their craft and know-how ensure a high-quality result that lasts.
In short, they know how to think on their feet and avoid mistakes a novice is likely to not have seen coming.
3. They save time and money
You don’t have to waste hours of your life trying to diagnose and fix a tricky drain problem, with no guarantee of success. The experts get straight down to business by quickly identifying the problem and preparing a solution with all the best tools and techniques at their disposal.
The professionals save you time and money by:
-
- Diagnosing and fixing the problem faster without trial and error.
- Using high quality relining that lasts longer without the need for repeat repairs and maintenance.
- Completing excellent work prevents bigger plumbing issues down the line — saving you money on major repairs.
- Using efficient mechanical tools to get the job done right (and quickly) the first time.
- Ensuring you won’t be counting the cost of disastrous DIY attempts for years to come.
4. They create less mess (and stress)
Drain relining is trenchless. You won’t have to make peace with digging up your prized front yard or driveway. The team at Drain Fixers will reline and fix your pipes using non-invasive techniques.
First, they insert a resin-filled liner into the damaged pipe and inflate the bladder to create a new section of pipe. After the residue cures, your pipes are ready to be used again within hours.
It’s a drain relining solution that works with minimal disruption for your home (and less noise for neighbors).
5. They deliver long-term fixes
When done right, relined pipes can last for 50 years or longer. It’s a generational upgrade that is built to last. The resin materials used are durable and resistant to corrosion, while being equipped to handle daily wear and tear. That translates to better water flow and fewer blockages over time. You’ll have the peace of mind that your plumbing will hold up with no surprise repair bills down the track.
6. They ensure drain relining is always safe
There are lots of moving parts and on-site coordination when completing
drain relining projects. Workers have to navigate confined spaces and handle chemical resins and pressurized systems with care and attention. This requires extensive training and expertise, which only professionals possess. They are also fully licensed and insured to complete work on your property.
These exemplary standards of health and safety, and quality of work are only available through the very best drain relining companies.
