Thousands of pipes have been dug up over the years due to issues like blockages or even tree roots in pipes. One way of eliminating this issue was to kill the tree roots in the pipe. While this is an effective method, it was only a temporary fix. However, there is now a more innovative, simpler and cost-effective way to fix this common issue, called pipe relining!

 

Pipe relining is the process of creating a pipe within an existing pipe. This is done not only to assist in getting your pipes in working order but, also to repair the existing pipeline. If there is an issue with your draining system, then the go-to plumbers of the Sapphire Coast at Keogh Plumbing can help! We offer no dig pipe relining services and are located in the heart of Merimbula. Please book a consultation today and our expert plumbers will be there!

 

Tree Roots in Pipes – The Advantages of Relining

Having your pipes repaired can usually be quite stressful, time-consuming and costly… But with pipe relining, all those worries are negated. It’s a simple, time-effective solution that helps cut costs and efficiently fix your piping system. While cutting costs and saving time are two big advantages of relining drains and pipes, there are other benefits to capitalise on.

 

Trenchless Pipe Relining – A Non-Invasive Solution

Before the technology to reline sewer pipes existed, the process of removing and replacing a pipe would involve heavy machinery to dig a trench to allow for the replacement of a pipe. When it comes to trenchless pipe relining, all that’s needed is existing access holes one of our plumbers can use to repair your issue. No digging and no large machinery is necessary!

 

Versatility

It doesn’t matter what your pipes are made of, pipe relining can be used on essentially any material. The versatility does not only pertain to materials but to the size of the pipeline as well. Whether it’s a small domestic system or a large council piping system, pipe relining can be accomplished with great efficiency.

 

Long-lasting Effectiveness

Here at Keogh Plumbing, we use the highest quality of pipe relining products available which means that you can get an additional 50 years out of your piping system. The interior layer is highly durable and up to four times stronger than a regular PVC pipe. With this innovative inner layer, gone are the days of having pesky tree roots in pipes! 

While there are many upsides to pipe relining, it’s important to note that no dig pipe relining can only follow the shape of the existing pipe. So, it’s important to consider if your pipes have been heavily damaged or dislodged.
