Pipe Relining Gold Coast

 

Some Gold Coast plumbers are able to offer pipe relining services which will put an end to recurring pipe blockages where tree roots are the cause. Tree roots are able to make their way into your pipes through a break or a loose or dislodged joint.

 

The pipe relining process

Your Gold Coast plumber will be able to tell you if a problem sewerage or stormwater pipe is suitable to be relined. Firstly, they will need to CCTV camera and clean the pipe with a high pressure water jetter to provide an accurate quote. Once they have the footage they need, they will be able to assess the damage and advise a suitable relining option. The pipe relining process can be completed in about 1 day:

 

  1. Your plumber will come to site with a pre-prepared fabric patch also called a sock, sized to suit the broken area of pipe.
  2. They will soak the fabric ‘sock’ in a resin mix
  3. A rubber bladder will then be inserted inside the sock so it can be inflated once inside the old pipe using compressed air.
  4. The patch and bladder are inserted into the old broken pipe and it is inflated to the size of the existing pipe.
  5. The resin cures for anywhere between 3 and 6 hours depending on each individual situation.
  6. Once the resin has set, the sock is removed and the pipes can be used again.

The advantages of ‘no dig’ pipe relining on the Gold Coast

Pipe relining is a fantastic alternative to the traditional dig up method. It is much quicker and has minimal disruption. Because it does not require any digging, it also saves money on excavation costs and labour.

 

Relining is also a permanent fix. Tree roots are unable to penetrate the section of pipe once it has been relined. A pipe which has been dug up and replaced will always be susceptible to tree root re-entry through the flexible joints used between the old and new pipe.
