What Is Sewer Pipe Relining?
What Is Sewer Pipe Relining?
Fix your broken pipes WITHOUT digging up your property
When there’s a sewer pipe repair needed on strata property, it can really cause headaches. Strata schemes include multiple properties, meaning numerous residents must agree to share the cost of rectification works, and numerous people may be inconvenienced when the works take place.
That’s why it’s so important that sewer pipe relining is done as quickly, efficiently and affordably as possible. But if you’re part of a strata management team, it can be difficult to know where to turn when a sewer pipe repair issue needs addressing. Ideally, you want the job done fast, and with minimal interference to residents. At the same time, you don’t want the problem reappearing in a few months or years—so you want a permanent solution.
What’s Involved In Relining Pipes?
Trenchless Pipe Relining - The Permanent Fix
Advancements in sewer pipe relining methods, via trenchless pipe relining, are proving indispensable to strata managers, as plumbing issues can be rectified quickly and permanently.
Trenchless pipe relining offers a unique, ‘no dig’ method of sewer pipe repair, and is currently provided by Drain Fixers in Melbourne. It involves filling the damaged section of drain with a resin that sets into the appropriate drain width, creating a new section of drain that is long-lasting. Here’s a basic rundown of our process.
-
1. Inspect
We use a CCTV camera to inspect your drain. This footage gives us a clear view of exactly where the damage is located, and how far it has progressed. It also highlights other issues with your drains you may not have been aware of.
-
2. Clean
We clean the pipes with high-pressure water jets to prepare the pipe for relining.
-
3. Insert
We prepare the new liner by filling it with resin and inserting a deflated bladder. We then insert the liner into the damaged pipe.
-
4. Inflate
When we’ve positioned the liner into the correct position, the bladder expands the liner to form the shape of the new pipe (a pipe, within the damaged pipe).
-
5. Complete
The residue cures to form a permanent replacement pipe. After that, we remove the bladder so that the pipe can be immediately used.
The whole pipe repair process is completed quickly, and can be done in multiple locations within the drain if more than one repair is needed.
The Benefits Of Using Trenchless Pipe Relining For Strata Properties
Sorting out sewer pipe repair issues on strata properties can be complicated for a number of reasons. Here are some of the common issues that arise, and the benefits of choosing trenchless pipe relining.
- A pipe might be damaged on one resident’s lot, but the impacts of the damage might extend to other lots in the strata. This means that sometimes the lot owner hosting the broken sewer pipe may not be suffering any negative impacts, and it might be a hard sell to get them to agree to disrupting their life with dug up drains. This is why ‘no dig’ drain fixing is so useful, as it can be done with limited disruption, and no damage to infrastructure on their property.
- Fixing a broken sewer pipe might not be top of body corporate’s list of things to repair, so may go on the backburner. In the meantime, the broken pipe gets worse, causing potential flow-on damage. In these cases, it’s in the best interests of every lot owner to get the damage fixed quickly and permanently. Thankfully, with the trenchless pipe relining method, pipes can be repaired rapidly.
- Often individual property owners or strata managers don’t know where to start when it comes to fixing a broken sewer pipe, so they order in a plumber who does a temporary fix to slow down the impacts of the problem. However, the essence of the problem remains.
If lot owners and strata managers were aware of the trenchless pipe relining solution, they would know there is a better way to handle the problem, and the issue won’t come back to bite them down the track. - When a strata building works with professional drain specialists, they can be certain they will receive a thorough assessment that takes into account the specific drainage or pipe problems, and how it will likely affect surrounding properties. They can then arrange for the drain specialists to fix the problem so that it doesn’t return.
- Trenchless pipe relining can be completed relatively quickly, and be done in multiple locations within the drain if more than one repair is needed.
It also doesn’t involve the digging up of drain pipes, which reduces overall labour costs, and prevents all the mess and disruption to residents. This trenchless method is tidy, efficient, and permanent.
How Drain Inspections Can Reduce Expenses for Strata Properties
Many older buildings have aged pipelines that will become prone to damage over time, for all the reasons that pipes degrade (tree roots, earth movement, water pressure, ageing etc.). Assessing drains for their condition is a key way body corporates can reduce the need for expensive sewer-related repairs in the future. Why does it matter? If a sewer pipe breaks, it can damage individual properties and/or communal areas, and this can lead to headaches handling issues with individual lot owners and insurance companies.
Having a routine drain assessment can mean that drain issues can be repaired before they worsen, and ultimately, the body corporate saves money. Thankfully, it’s easy to arrange a drain assessment for your strata property, and to have drains repaired quickly.
