Drain linings can help to fix the damaged and cracked pipes without replacing the drain lines completely or ruin the landscape surrounding them. If you want to get rid of an existing underground pipe that has begun to leak, you need to consider your options first. An entire pipe replacement is not mandatory. Often, drain relining Sydney is considered a far better option than the conventional digging method.
If the pipes are
beneath the trees, driveways, sidewalks or some other permanent features, total
excavation can cause collateral damage and expense to the surrounding areas. In
such cases, the only way in which you can save the landscape and nature is a
pipe relining method. There are four different types of pipe relining to get
the task done successfully. Take a look below at the methods available today.
Cured-in Place
Cured-in place
piping is used to mend the trenchless relining system. Professional drain and
sewer lining companies send their trained plumbers to remotely line the pipe
section which is damaged without digging a trench. After cleaning the interior
sections of the pipe, the experts apply lining to the cracked or broken
section. The liner is cured by applying some hot steam as it goes into the
cracks inside the pipe.
Pull-in Place
Put-in place is
the best method of drain relining Sydney. It is
specially meant for pipes that have larger cracks and gaps. Steam or heat is
used to fix the material into the pipe. The epoxy resin is then applied to the place
that needs to be repaired. Two access points are made to put the liner on the
desired spot. One point is used to feed the liner and another point to pull it
through. Air is introduced inside the pipe to make it dry faster.
Pipe Bursting
The pipes that
are severely damaged go for the pipe-bursting method. Here, a larger section of
the damaged area is repaired, and for this, the professionals need to access
the pipe physically. A “bursting head” is installed at the access point of the
pipe, and hydraulic power is used to pull the head through the drain pipe. When
it makes way through the pipe, it breaks the old pipe and draws a new pipe
behind it. Made out of plastic, it will be resistant to root intrusion up to
ten decades.
Internal Pipe Coating
Professional
plumbers use internal pipe coating to fix a pipe that has leaking issues. To
prepare for the curing, the experts will drain the pipe entirely to eliminate
water. A thick epoxy coating is applied on the internal walls of the pipes to
seal the cracks and seals inside the pipe permanently.
