Before pipe relining can occur, the damaged drains need thorough inspection, cleaning and preparation. High pressure water jets clear debris, whilst CCTV cameras identify affected areas. A custom-fitted epoxy bladder is then inserted and inflated to permanently seal cracks and leaks from the inside.
There are several indicators that signal when pipe relining may be necessary for your plumbing system. Frequent blockages, reduced water pressure, leaks, and signs of water damage around pipes can all point to corrosion, cracks or other issues that necessitate prompt pipe repair.
Acknowledging these warning signs early is crucial to avoid more extensive damage. Continuing to use deteriorating pipes can lead to bursts, flooding, sinkholes and raw sewage backups, thereby making trenchless pipe repair a vital service. Having our team at Hurstville Plumbing examine your plumbing system ensures precise identification of problems and our team can ascertain if trenchless drain relining is required to reinforce and remediate your pipes without excavation.
Frequent clogs, unmistakable gurgling sounds, foul odours, visible corrosion, or wet areas can all signify blocked sewer pipes in urgent need of repair. Our trenchless pipe relining can insert a protective epoxy barrier coating without digging to restore your drain, guided by CCTV drain inspection, from the inside.
There are several key pipe relining techniques available depending on your specific needs. Three of the main methods include:
This method involves introducing a felt liner soaked in a specialised epoxy resin into the compromised pipes via an access point. The versatile CIPP method allows us to address a bevy of pipes, including those made of concrete, PVC, and other common materials.
The liner is inflated and cured with hot water or steam, creating a tight, jointless new pipe within the existing structure.
This method utilises a resin-saturated liner, compatible with a range of materials including concrete PVC, pulled through the length of the damaged pipe from one access point to the next.
The liner adheres to the pipe within and is heat-cured to form a protective lining, an efficient strategy to resolve blockages and combat tree roots and obstructions.
A rotating brush or spray system coats the interior of your damaged pipe with epoxy resin, sealing cracks and corrosion to remediate wear and tear damage without need for excavation. Brush coating relining establishes a seamless, corrosion-resistant shield that stops leaks and prevents damage, making it an effective preventative maintenance option.
At Hurstville Plumbing, our experts employ top-grade equipment and processes for a comprehensive CCTV examination of your drainage system. from there we pinpoint the right repair technique, ensuring problems your pipes might have get a swift, non-invasive and affordable total renovation.
The Cured-In-Place Pipe (CIPP) relining procedure furnishes an efficient way to manage sewer pipe relining, accompanied by mending water pipes. Here’s an in-depth process how our team expertly executed CIPP relining for your plumbing system:
First, we deploy a drain camera to visually examine the interior pipe condition, pinpointing any cracked section pipe or obstructions. Our trenchless video pipe inspection determines if CIPP relining is appropriate for the specific section of pipe.
we thoroughly clean the drainage system with high-pressure water jets to prep the pipe surface and clear any debris or roots. Access points are then created at service entrances and junctions.
A custom-sized felt liner, saturated with a special resin, is prepared for insertion into the damaged pipe.
Our pipe relining service uses a bladder to inflate the liner, ensuring a securely adhering and tight new lining. Controlled temperature curing solidifies this lining into a sturdy, seamless layer resistant to corrosion and root invasion.
In comparison to conventional pipe replacement, CIPP trenchless relining is less obstructive, cost-efficient, and swiftly installed, conserving the grounds of your property and leaving the existing landscape pristine while providing new pipes. The seamless lining not only restores old pipes but proves more cost effective than a full-scale replacement, ensuring decades of renewed performance.
Pull-In-Place (PIP) relining involves pulling a resin-saturated liner through the full length of the damaged pipe without the need for excavation, to reline it from the inside.
First, the pipe cleaned of any intruding roots or obstructions using high-pressure water jets to remove any intruding roots or obstructions. An unsaturated liner which is a sleeve, is then pulled through the pipe, is saturated onsite with a watertight epoxy resin.
Once the liner is pulled into position, hot water or steam is applied and then the liner is inserted into damaged areas and cured into a smooth, jointless barrier. This forms a durable lining inside the damaged pipe, sealing cracks and restoring structural integrity without the need to dig up pipes.
PIP relining strategy is crafted as a convenient replacement for your old pipe sections, accessed through small points, instead of replacing entire pipe runs. This makes the process fast and convenient, offering a replacement for your old pipes that is more cost‑effective than traditional pipe methods and doesn’t require digging significant areas or full replacement. It can also handle bends better than CIPP relining, and works for many pipe materials like concrete, clay and PVC.
Proper preparation, which includes avoiding digging up your property, is crucial to repair damaged areas prior to commissioning emergency plumbing services for pipe relining to ensure the process runs smoothly. Here are key steps to take:
Connect with licenced technicians like your plumber at Hurstville Plumbing to evaluate your drainage system, especially if you’ve been dealing with frequent blocked drains. Professional consultation determines if trenchless relining is the right solution and which technique fits your needs.
Clearing blockages, roots, grease, and mineral deposits is essential before relining, enabling a smooth, 'no-dig’ liner application. blockages can prevent the resin-impregnated liner from adhering correctly. High-pressure jet cleaning clears the way to repair damaged sewer lines with precision and effectiveness.
Technicians require entry points to commence the complete pipe relining process. Ensure access is available to pipe sections needing repair. This allows for targeted reinforcement of your plumbing infrastructure without the need dig up trenches in your garden or driveway.
With thorough preparation, our crew can then proficiently reline your pipes drains. We handle the entire process using industry-best practices to prevent excavation damages to your house.
Thoroughly cleaning and inspecting pipes is an essential preparation step before emergency relining. Any debris, roots, grease or mineral buildup must be cleared to allow the liner to adhere correctly.
We employ high-powered water jetting to propel water through the pipe’s interior, to examine interior surfaces, scouring the walls and dislodging years of accumulation. This cleaning step confirms the absence of debris in your sewer line, enabling a smooth liner insertion and inflation without blockages.
A drain camera is utilized for visual inspection. The CCTV exam locates existing faults like cracks, corrosion and offsets for the lining to target. It also confirms no remaining blockages could inhibit proper curing.
Proactive cleaning as part of the drain pipe relining process ensures the pipe walls are primed for optimal bonding and long-lasting adherence. It also removes any recurring clogs, restoring free flow that prevents future drainage issues and backs up in your Hurstville plumbing system.

Hurstville Plumbing follows an efficient, non-invasive pipe relining process in several key stages:
The process begins with using a drain camera to thoroughly examine the water pipe condition and locate any problem areas needing repair.
We clean the pipe with high-pressure water jetting to remove any obstructions or debris that could inhibit proper liner bonding.
We then impregnate a felt liner with special epoxy resin and insert it into damaged pipe through an access point to the section requiring reinforcement.
Using controlled heat, the liner is inflated to ensure a snug adherence to the inner walls of your pipes. The resin cures and creates new, impenetrable layers, shaping a smooth, seamless, corrosion-proof new pipe lining within your existing pipe.
A concluding CCTV review verifies the restoration of optimal drainage performance, showcasing the relined pipe’s reinforced, seamless interior resistant to root intrusion and decay.
Our pipe relining technicians have decades of experience performing these minimally invasive repairs that leave your property undisturbed while restoring your plumbing from the inside out.
The duration of the pipe relining process can take a varied amount of time depending on factors such as the pipe size, length, material, and overall condition. However, in most cases you can expect the job to take 1 - 3 days.
For straightforward residential relining tasks on pipes 2-6 inches in diameter, achieving completion within a single day was very attainable. More intricate commercial pipe relining projects with a larger network of pipes may necessitate 2-3 days as our crew systematically progresses through each section.
We’ll confirm a specific timeline to address problems in your pipe after a thorough CCTV inspection and creating a customised plan. Pre-inspection helps identify problem areas and pipe materials to determine the techniques needed, resin curing times, optimal access points and an accurate job duration estimate so you can plan accordingly.
