Concord Pipe Relining Specialists

The process begins with a thorough CCTV inspection to assess the damage and measure the affected pipe. We then clean the pipe using high-pressure water jetting to remove obstructions and scale. Next, we prepare a custom epoxy-saturated liner and insert it into the pipe, inflating it to conform to the pipe’s interior. Once cured through ambient temperature or accelerated methods, the liner hardens to form a new structural pipe, and we reinstate any branch connections before performing a final inspection.

Trenchless pipe relining offers numerous advantages over traditional dig-and-replace methods. These include minimal disruption to your property, no damage to landscaping or hardscaping, faster completion times, cost-effectiveness for deeply buried pipes, and often a longer lifespan than the original pipe. The seamless nature of the liner also eliminates joints where tree roots commonly intrude, preventing future blockages.

The cost of pipe relining depends on several factors including the pipe diameter, length of the section needing repair, depth of the pipe, accessibility, degree of damage, and complexity of the job. While generally more cost-effective than excavation methods for deep or difficult-to-access pipes, each situation requires assessment. We provide detailed, transparent quotes after conducting a thorough CCTV inspection of your drainage system.

In many cases, pipe relining can be covered by home insurance policies, particularly if the damage is sudden and unexpected rather than due to long-term deterioration. Coverage varies between insurance providers and specific policies. We recommend checking with your insurer about your coverage details. Our team can provide the necessary documentation and reports to support your insurance claim.

Modern pipe relining systems are designed for exceptional durability, with most manufacturers offering warranties ranging from 25 to 50 years. In practice, properly installed pipe liners can last even longer. The epoxy resin materials used are resistant to corrosion, tree root intrusion, and chemical degradation, often outlasting the original pipe materials, especially in the case of clay or concrete pipes common in older Concord homes.

Most common pipe materials can be relined, including clay, PVC, cast iron, concrete, and copper pipes. Relining is possible for pipe diameters typically ranging from 40mm to 600mm and works effectively for sewer lines, stormwater drains, and some water supply pipes. However, pipes with severe structural collapse, multiple bends in close proximity, or extreme diameter variations may not be suitable candidates for relining. Our CCTV inspection will determine if your pipes can be effectively relined.

Signs that may indicate you need pipe relining include recurring drain blockages, slow-draining fixtures, sewage odours, soggy patches in your yard, foundation cracks or settling, increased presence of vermin, lush patches of vegetation (indicating leaking nutrients), gurgling sounds in pipes, and unexplained increases in water bills. If you notice any of these symptoms at your Concord property, it’s advisable to arrange a professional CCTV pipe inspection to assess the condition of your underground drainage system.
