Drainage Pipes Replacement

It’s often difficult to know whether repairing or replacing your drainage pipes is a better alternative if you don’t have a background in plumbing.

To help you make the right decision when you have issues arising with the condition of your pipes we’ve outlined which alternative is more suitable below:

Drain Relining

After having your drain inspected, if the damage isn’t too extensive, then drain relining is a great alternative to repair your drain that will allow you to avoid the disruption to your lifestyle and the cost of excavating your drain.

To undertake drain relining the drain needs to initially be cleared by hydro jetting to remove any obstruction or roots that are blocking it. After this, a CCTV drain camera has to be inserted to determine the section of the drain that requires relining.

Next an inflatable bladder covered with an epoxy coated liner is inserted into the drain and then maneuvered into position to cover the damaged section of the drain.

Once the epoxy coated liner has cured and set the bladder is deflated and removed, leaving the pipe relined with the epoxy sleeve.

It’s generally a good idea to reinsert the camera after relining to ensure the procedure has gone smoothly and the damaged pipe is left fully sealed. Drain repairs must also fulfil Australian Standards AS/NZS 3500.2.

Drain Replacement

If a drain inspection has uncovered that either your entire drain or a section of it has damage that is too expensive for relining, then drain replacement is necessary.

Before the drain or section can be replaced the area must first be excavated. For areas that are more open, machinery can be used to perform the excavation, but for areas with limited access, this will need to be undertaken manually.

After the old drain is exposed and then removed it’s important to prepare and compact the trench before installing the new drain or section.

Any excess soil that isn’t used to fill in the trench can also be removed from the area.

After drains have been professionally relined or replaced it should ensure trouble-free operation for many years. If your drain was damaged by a major root system it’s also a good idea to remove this to avoid further damage in future that could result in costly repairs if left unchecked.
