- When a homeowner finds out their plumbing urgently needs relining, 2 things happen. They either get the plumber to start working right away, or they will scruple and think if it’s worth a shot, which makes them end up delaying the repair. While it’s only natural to feel the latter, unfortunately, the ‘thinking over’ time only increases the chances of a simple fix to turn out to be a lavish repair job.
- Let’s find out the common reasons why homeowners throw doubt on getting their pipes relined here as well as the questions you need to ask the specialist to be assured they can handle the job with superior results. This will also help you trust that the pipe relining cost you’ll pay is worthwhile.
Top Reasons Why Homeowners Don’t Go For Relining Right Away
They have no idea how bad the condition of their plumbing is – Most homeowners don’t have any clue of the real condition of their plumbing until a plumber inspect the pipeline and show them the result. This is also the same reason why sometimes they delay the problem, they resort to DIY fixes thinking their plunger can handle all sorts of clogs, or, they can always buy a chemical drain cleaner in the worst case. The reality is, no matter how easily a plumbing situation can be fixed, you shouldn’t take it lightly. It always has the tendency to turn into a big mess. Our pipe relining services Sydney cost already covers pipe inspection to identify problems inside the pipe, so you don’t need to worry about extra cost to get this done.
They think the price will significantly make a hole in their savings – Not true. The price to reline a pipe is nothing comparable to the price you’d have to pay when your plumbing requires complete repiping. What makes the price a bit steep is only when you don’t fix a problem right away. Keep in mind that price is determined by how severe the damage is. That means, the longer you wait and still think about getting it fixed, the more you’re increasing the chances of your pipe needing complete replacement. The cost of pipe relining is based on per meter. If the length of the damage is short, the shorter the amount of time to fix, and the less you’d have to pay. Bottom line is unless you’ve had plumbing problems going on for a while, then the repair will definitely make a hole in your savings.

They doubt it will permanently resolve the problem – It’s only natural to think about this especially when you haven’t tried it, you didn’t do research, or you know no one that has had their plumbing relined.

- In addition, relining comes with many benefits and one of them is the opportunity to have a 50 years warranty. It’s not a set and forget, like how we say it. We provide an annual inspection of the relined pipes to monitor our works and to give you confidence they are in the best condition. If you ask a plumber for inspection, you’ll be charged $100-$800, depending on the extent of the damage. But, we’ll cover this annually for free on your relined pipes.

They think they will need to find a temporary place while the work is ongoing – Pipe relining solutions are trenchless pipe repair methods, which means you don’t need to worry about finding a temporary safe place while the work is underway. Depending on exactly where the repair needs to take place, some of your stuff may be moved or displaced, but none of them will be damaged. Even when your pipe is behind walls, in tight spaces, or underground. In most cases, we will only need a single entry to slip through the liner into the pipe which is a non-invasive method compared to digging holes and trenches where you’d end up with a ripped off yard, driveway, or damaged walls. That’s why relining a pipe earlier than when it gets severely damaged is a huge favor you can give yourself to avoid making the problem worse and pricey.
