Pipe Relining vs Traditional Pipe Replacements

Reasons why pipe relining rehabilitation is the superior method

Pipe relining is a relatively new technology in Australia, compared to the more traditional drain or sewer pipe replacement procedure that requires excavation, but there are very good reasons why it’s becoming popular among property owners who need work done on their existing plumbing systems.

 

Where does traditional plumbing fall short?

Though traditional plumbing and pipe relining have similar goals – basically, to get one’s pipes and plumbing infrastructure working again, there are baggage that the older technology has that the newer one doesn’t.

Digging

Traditional plumbing latter requires contractors to dig. This is a considerable concern when the location of the damaged pipes is under established buildings, gardens, and infrastructure. When major trenching is involved, property users and owners can expect their operations to be disrupted and the environment to be in disarray.

Very involved process

If you are in a hurry, the traditional method is not for you. Major plumbing drain works, especially in commercial buildings, require approval from the council or the water authority – this has to be lodged at least 20 days ahead to avoid delays. Building commission are also required to inspect the job.

Site restoration takes time

After the plumbing issues have been addressed, the location will have to be filled and paved, covered up, or re-landscaped. Although paving or installing wooden floors may merely take a day or so, restoring a garden can even take longer than a few days.

High expense

Not only will clients have to expect to pay for the plumbing repair process, there are likely to be some notable cost add-ons to reinstate the site, especially if one wants to get it back to its former self.

Can be a dangerous process

Although contractors will adhere to safety measures, the risks of having an area where civilians pass, especially if the building is still in use during the process, excavated cannot be underscored.

Takes longer

Depending on the scope of the job, pipe relining can take up to 50% less time to complete than traditional planning. This means that the building or infrastructure’s operations can be reinstated far quicker than with traditional plumbing.
Our Tips

Do-It-Yourself for small issues

It usually takes a plumbing professional to sort out blocked outside drains, but for minor stoppages, you can apply a little know-how and some elbow grease to unblock your external drain.


Don’t know where to get started with how to fix a blocked drain? Here are a few tips:

Before taking everything apart, you should know how to diagnose the problem. Luckily, the abovementioned list, “Common causes of blocked drains,” provides some ideas as to what the source of the issue might be, and where it’s likely coming from, so you can inspect it more thoroughly and then work on it, if it’s something you can handle.

Cleaning outside drains requires manual labour, starting with making sure the grate – and every size of outside drain should have one- is clear of debris. To do so, unscrew the grate and try to get to the area drain with your gloved hands to pick out what might be obstructing the water’s flow.


If you can’t reach in, you can use your drain rods, pipe snakes, or caustic soda or drain unblocker to extricate whatever’s causing the blockage.

After removing all debris, flush the drain with water and see if the water goes through normally. If the water slows or stops completely there may be a clog deeper down the line; if stronger water pressure doesn’t help, you may need to call in the professionals.
