Pipe relining is an innovative, trenchless pipe relining method for repairing damaged or blocked pipes without the need for extensive excavation. Whether dealing with cracked pipes, tree root intrusion, or collapsed drains, pipe relining offers a durable and cost-effective alternative to traditional replacement methods. At Precise Plumbing and Electrical, we provide professional pipe relining services for homeowners and businesses across Adelaide, ensuring seamless and long-lasting drain repairs.
How Does Trenchless Pipe Relining Work?
Pipe relining creates a “pipe within a pipe” using advanced techniques such as CIPP (Cured-In-Place Pipe) or PIP (Pull-In-Place), a form of trenchless pipe rehabilitation. This method restores the structural integrity of the pipe without disturbing surrounding landscapes, driveways, or buildings.
Step-by-Step Pipe Relining Process
- CCTV Drain Inspection – We conduct a thorough inspection using CCTV equipment and cameras to assess pipe damage.
- Drain Cleaning – High-pressure hydro-jetting removes debris, blockages, and tree roots.
- Custom Liner Preparation – A liner, impregnated with epoxy resin, is tailored to fit the damaged pipe section.
- Liner Insertion & Inflation – The liner is inserted and expanded using an inflatable bladder, ensuring a secure fit.
- Curing Process – The epoxy resin hardens, forming a strong, waterproof interior.
- Final Inspection – A second CCTV check confirms the pipe’s integrity and function.
