How to Choose the Right Pipe Relining Material for Your Home

Posted by Melbourne Blocked Drains Plumbing on 19 Sep 2024

The maintenance of your home’s plumbing in good order is essential but pipes will become worn-out as time passes. The traditional method of replacing them is to dig into and removing old pipes, which can be messy and expensive. Luckily, pipe relining offers an easier, alternative that is more cost-effective and efficient alternative.

Key Takeaways

  • The process of relining pipes is a low-cost alternative to traditional pipe replacement methods
  • Selecting the correct pipe relining materials is vital for effectiveness and longevity
  • The factors to consider when selecting pipe relining materials are environment, flow capacity and durability, as well as costs and maintenance
  • Types of pipe relining materials include Cured-in-Place-Pipe (CIPP), Fiberglass Pipe Lining, and cast iron Pipe Lining.
  • Relining pipes results in a new "pipe inside a pipe" which helps restore full functionality, without removal of existing pipes.

With so many materials for pipe relining it is crucial to select the appropriate one. This guide will help you comprehend what you need to think about when choosing the right pipe relining material which is suited to your needs and budget.

What exactly is Pipe Relining?

Before we get into the process of selecting the correct pipe for relining, let’s review what it is.

Pipe relining is an operation which involves inserting an epoxy liner into damaged or degraded sewer lines, water mains or any other underground piping systems preventing leaks and root infiltration. It basically creates a brand new "pipe inside an existing pipe" that helps to restore the full functionality, without having to require the elimination of existing pipes.

The advantages of pipe relining include:

  • Minimizes excavation works
  • Reduces the cost of traditional methods
  • Much less messy than excavation

While there are many benefits, choosing the correct material for the lining is crucial when it comes to effectiveness and long-term durability.

Take into account the following when selecting pipe relining Materials

  1. The environment: Another of the essential things that you must think about when choosing an appropriate pipe lining material must be your environment. The external environment determines how long the lining will be free of impacts such as chemicals, humid conditions among others.
  2. Capacity for Flow: A capacity for flow would refer to the volume of liquid that passes smoothly over your plumbing when you install new lines.
  3. Durability: Durability measures how long it will last against extreme environments, such as high humidity, chemicals and other conditions that are harsh.
