Kogarah Pipe Relining Services

Our pipe relining process begins with a thorough CCTV inspection to assess the damage and measure the affected pipe sections. Next, we clean the pipe using high-pressure water jetting to remove debris and tree roots. We then prepare a custom epoxy-resin liner sized to your pipe specifications. This liner is inserted into the damaged pipe and inflated, pressing against the pipe walls. Once cured and hardened, it creates a smooth, jointless new pipe within the old one, restoring full functionality.

Trenchless pipe relining offers numerous benefits over conventional pipe replacement. It eliminates extensive excavation, preserving your landscaping, driveways, and property structures. The process is typically completed in a day rather than weeks, causes minimal disruption, and is often more cost-effective when considering restoration costs. The new relined pipe is also smoother, more resistant to tree roots, and generally outlasts the original pipe with its 50-year life expectancy.

Signs that you might need pipe relining include recurring blockages, slow drainage, sewage odours, damp patches in your yard, subsiding paving, or unusually lush grass patches indicating underground leaks. If you’re experiencing frequent backups despite clearing blockages, or if your CCTV inspection reveals cracks, fractures, displaced joints, or root intrusion, pipe relining is likely an appropriate solution for your plumbing issues.

Pipe relining works effectively for most pipe materials including clay, PVC, cast iron, concrete, and copper. It can be applied to pipes ranging from 40mm to 600mm in diameter, covering both residential and commercial applications. The technology is ideal for sewer lines, stormwater drains, and even some pressure pipes. However, completely collapsed pipes or those with significant structural deformation may require traditional replacement methods, which we can also provide if necessary.

Yes, all our pipe relining work comes with comprehensive warranties that reflect our confidence in the quality and durability of our solutions. The specific warranty period depends on the scope of work and materials used, but typically ranges from 10 to 50 years. We provide detailed documentation of all work performed, including before and after CCTV footage that demonstrates the effectiveness of the relining process and serves as a reference for future plumbing needs.

The duration of a pipe relining project varies depending on the length and diameter of the pipe, the extent of damage, and the specific relining method employed. Most residential jobs can be completed in a single day, with the actual relining process taking just a few hours once preparation is complete. Commercial or more complex projects may take longer. The curing time for the resin typically ranges from 2-4 hours, after which the pipe is immediately usable.
