Melbourne’s Experts in Pipe Relining

Pipe relining has nothing to do with the alignment of collapsed or sagging pipes. It is a non-invasive method that involves an interior layer within the old pipe. It sounds almost too good to be true, but you can actually build a durable and resistant layer within the old pipe without digging an inch or knocking down a wall. This is a great way of strengthening old pipes that have fallen into disrepair. And our relining is made of the highest quality materials that perfectly complements the old pipes.

There are a number of different ways to achieve pipe relining, but it will usually follow a similar pattern. First, a CCTV drain inspection is conducted. This finds breaks and cracks in the existing piping system. Once we have all of the measurements, we then create a custom liner and inflatable bladder to match the exact pipe specifications, including the curves. When we’re ready to install the relined section, we soak the liner in an epoxy resin and insert the uninflated bladder into the pipe liner. A rope is attached to each end of the liner, which we use to pull the pipe liner into place using existing access points. Next, the bladder is inflated with air, blowing out the liner to seal against the pipes. The bladder remains until the resin has hardened. Viola! A new interior lining is now in place via the process of pipe relining. The bladder is deflated and retracted back out.

Most pipes have a lifespan of about 30 – 40 years, but the epoxy resin can extend this to 50 – 60 years. You have the same pipes, but with an inner liner, so the strength of the initial pipes is still a consideration. Who you use to complete the installation is also noteworthy. The adhesion process must be done correctly so the resin can remain flush against the inside of the pipe while it hardens. Once done correctly, you now have an inner layer that protects the inside of the pipe from scratches and corrosion. But it also protects from tree roots and other outside debris from penetrating the inside of the pipe.

There are 5 major benefits of pipe relining. They are:

1. Little Disruption – This process allows for little to no disruption in your home or commercial enterprise. There is no digging or knocking down walls.
2. Affordable – Because no digging is involved, the process can be completed rapidly without complications. This results in vastly lowered costs.
3. Durable – The manufacturers’ warranty on correctly applied epoxy resin is 50 years. It is a long-term solution that extends the lifespan of your pipes.
4. Repairs & Prevents – Pipe relining resolves the problems of cracks and scratches on the inside of your pipes. It also prevents tree roots from protruding into the pipe.
5. Increases Flow Capacity – Many pipes are made of materials like cast iron or concrete where calcification can occur. Epoxy liners have a smooth surface for maximum flow capacity.

Of course, these benefits can be seen only when you use a high-quality pipe relining service like Mr Pipe.
