Pipe Relining Eastwood

Sewer pipe relining is a modern plumbing method that is currently becoming more popular each year. In fact, more countries overseas are using this technique because of its efficiency and durability. So how is drain pipe relining done?

1. CCTV pipe inspection – Before we begin and do anything else, we would first carry out an inspection of the pipe in question. Our team would insert a camera that will show them where exactly the pipe needs to be ‘relined.’ In addition, they would also determine how severe or serious the damage is. Once this inspection is done, the next step of the procedure commences.
2. Trenchless pipe relining preparation – Preparing for the actual relining method takes time. The inner wall of the pipe should be clean and free from any debris. Usually, a high pressure water jetter would be used to take out the accumulated sludge, and other substances that may affect the method. A robotic scraper may also be used to take out stubborn obstacles, which would then be flushed out by water.
3. Relining – Using state of the art equipment, a resin-dipped liner would be inserted into the pipe, and placed near the area that needs repair. Then, high pressure air would be blown into the liner through an inflatable bladder. The air will allow the liner to expand, pushing itself against the inner walls of the pipe. Then, it would be left to cure for a couple of hours.
4. Inspection – When the resin substance in the liner has finished curing, the team would again inspect everything to make sure the problem has been addressed. We would conduct another inspection after a few days to a week just to see if the hardened resin is still intact.
