Whether you’re dealing with residential drainage issues or require commercial pipe solutions, our proven trenchless pipe relining melbourne technology delivers superior results with minimal disruption to your property.
What is Pipe Relining? A Permanent 'No-Dig' Solution
Pipe relining is a cutting-edge trenchless technology that creates a new pipe within your existing damaged drainage system. This innovative process involves installing a specially formulated resin liner inside the old pipe, which then cures to form a seamless, jointless tube that’s stronger and more durable than the original pipe.
How Pipe Relining Works:
- Access pipes through existing entry points (manholes, cleanouts)
- Insert specially designed liner saturated with epoxy resin
- Inflate liner using compressed air or water pressure
- Allow resin to cure, creating a permanent new pipe within the old one
This remarkable technology effectively seals cracks, joints, and root intrusions whilst providing a smooth internal surface that improves flow capacity. The result is a fully restored drainage system that’s resistant to future root penetration and corrosion, making it an ideal solution for Melbourne’s diverse soil conditions and mature tree environments.
The Pipe & Drain Relining Process: How We Make Your Pipes As Good As New
Our comprehensive drain pipe relining process follows a proven methodology that ensures superior results with minimal disruption to your property.
Step 1: Comprehensive Assessment
- CCTV inspection to assess damage extent and location
- Detailed measurement and mapping of pipe runs
- Customised repair strategy development
- Accurate cost estimation based on specific conditions
Step 2: Pipe Preparation & Installation
- High-pressure water jetting removes debris, scale, and root matter
- Custom-fitted liner prepared with specially formulated epoxy resin
- Advanced insertion using inversion or pull-in-place methods
- Precise positioning and inflation against pipe walls
The resin then undergoes a controlled curing process, typically taking 2-4 hours depending on pipe diameter and environmental conditions. Upon completion, we conduct a final CCTV inspection to verify installation quality and ensure complete coverage of all damaged areas.
Quality Assurance Steps:
- Final CCTV inspection for installation verification
- Complete damage coverage confirmation
- Immediate service availability upon completion
- Comprehensive documentation and warranty provision
