When blocked drains are an ongoing problem in the home, it can be a sign of damaged pipes. It’s tempting to ignore it – after all, the last thing you want is someone digging up your yard to resolve the problem. Not only is it messy and time-consuming, but excavation can also increase your costs when landscaping, concrete, or other surfaces need to be repaired afterwards.
However, a permanent fix to blocked drain problems may be easier than you think. That’s where drain relining comes in. Read on to learn more about this no-dig solution to residential drainage woes and if it’s the right choice for your home.
What is drain relining?
Drain relining (also called pipe relining) is a method of repairing cracked, damaged or burst underground pipes without needing to replace them entirely. It works like this. A resin-coated tube is inserted through the damaged pipe and inflated until it sits tightly against the walls of the original pipe. The inflated tube is then cured in place, creating a new pipe within the old one.
Unlike traditional pipe repair and replacement that requires excavation to access the underground pipework, drain relining can be done via a single entry point. This is great news for your landscaping and is an altogether more pleasant experience, especially when dealing with damaged sewerage drains.
What does drain relining cost?
The cost of drain relining depends on the individual job. A quote can be impacted by the type and extent of the damage, the length and diameter of the pipe to be repaired, and drain access considerations.
However, when compared with traditional pipe repair and replacement, which requires significant excavation works to access underground plumbing, pipe relining can be a cost-effective alternative. It’s much faster, requires far less equipment, and can save the considerable cost of having to restore gardens, concrete, paving or driveways that have been dug up in the process.
When is pipe relining not an option?
Sometimes the damage to underground pipes is so extensive that full replacement is the only option. For instance, pipe relining is not suitable when:
a pipe has completely collapsed
sections of pipework have become extremely misaligned
drainpipes have very large holes, missing sections, or extensive corrosion that prevents the liner from properly adhering.
The only way to know whether pipe relining is the right option for your drainage issues is to call in your Brisbane plumber to identify the underlying cause. The longer you wait to have the problem properly diagnosed, the worse it can become and the fewer options you’ll have to fix it.
What causes underground drain problems?
Grease build-up in kitchen drains and hair in shower drains are common culprits for household blockages, but sometimes the problem is much deeper inside the underground pipework of your home.
Pipes can crack, shift or be crushed as surrounding soil moves over time.
Tree roots can enter cracks and damaged joints in pipework.
Sediment can restrict flow.
What are the signs of a drainage problem?
A drain does not have to be completely blocked before there is a problem. The earlier you spot the warning signs, the better chance you have of addressing the problem before it becomes bigger and more expensive to repair.
Keep an eye out for:
Water draining more slowly than usual
Water backing up before suddenly rushing away
Gurgling sounds coming from your pipes
Blockages that keep returning.
