It’s not always easy to identify signs of damaged drains and pipes. Sometimes, it may be just a bad smell or standing water. Both of these indicate there is a blockage in the line. Unfortunately, interior wall damage in drains is more difficult to detect. If you’re unable to see the problem, it can cause further deterioration later.
What is Drain Relining?
Drain relining is an alternative to the usual drain repair methods. It is cleaner and less expensive than traditional repair. The damaged pipe has a flexible resin line pushed through it. The resin to the pipe, and then cured with heat. The new lining is moulded to the old pipe exactly. When complete, the new smooth new pipe is encased in the original one.
The Process of Drain Relining
Step 1. Drain Inspection
Relining a drain is simply adding an inner protective layer to your plumbing. This layer hardens to create a reinforced casing that protects against future damage. We begin by performing a thorough investigation of the line with CCTV survey technology. This helps us locate the damage and determine the extent of it. During the process, the drain pipe is continuously monitored via CCTV. The pipes are then flushed clean with a powerful stream of water. Clean lines allow the new pipelining to adhere to the old pipe better.
Step 2. Perma Liner Installation in Ottawa
The flexible resin lining is passed through the pipe. The lining may be conformed to the shape of the pipe by an inflated bag. Sometimes high water pressure may be used. Once the lining is in place, it may be cured by hot water or UV lighting. The lining serves a dual purpose. It protects the damaged pipe and provides a low friction surface for water flow. Then can be used camera one more time to take a view of the new lining inside the pipe.
This method of drain relining is quick, easy, and very cost-effective. The cured resin is robust enough to last years without repair. It is also appropriate for pipes of all diameters (50 mm to over 1 m). Relining can occur as one single piece. If it is required, the relining can be broken up into multiple overlapping pieces.
Drain Relining Facts
Drain relining consists of correcting a broken line by setting a new lining (pipe) into the existing one. This method is excellent for solving problems like;
- Leaking or open joints.
- Radial cracks resulting from blockages.
- Root intrusion.
The technique is standard in addressing situations where there’s minor damage; in a small part of the pipe. In such a case, there’s no call for complete relining.
Drain Relining Pros and Cons
Drain relining has many advantages, including;
- No destruction since the pipe lining contractors does not have to dig or even excavate.
- There is no downtime for businesses since there isn’t interference with the business’ operations.
- It is cost-effective since there’s no digging required.
- It restores the structure of the pipe.
- It is more accurate as sewer line repair involves technology like camera inspection to determine areas with defects.
- There’s a limited amount of time spent during repairs. It takes a few days or less to complete the project.
Drain relining has advantages for business owners as well:
- If you encounter an issue with the drain and sewer system, it can end up forcing you to close your business for days as you repair the issue. Days of no business means days of money lost. With the pipe relining service we provide, you will be back in business before you know it – we can help you prevent the loss of thousands in income.
- Minimize business operation disruptions with pipe relining solutions. We can perform many pipe relining takes within a day. In contrast, the traditional means for replacing pipe, consisting of digging up the old pipes, installing new, and covering the system up again, can increase the costs of the repair you require exponentially. Pipe relining is clearly the more cost effective solution.
Although drain relining doesn’t have critical disadvantages, it is not a viable option in some situations like;
- Fixing pipe parts that contractors install poorly by not paying attention to quality work or general technical problems.
- Repairing offset joints which occur when the joints in a pipe are not spaced correctly and the end of two pipes part causing a leak at that point.
