What is Pipe Relining and how does it work?

Jarrad Smith • November 29, 2023

Plumbing has grown much more refined with the advancement of technology like the pipe relining solutions, making many tasks that would otherwise be quite laborious far more efficient. If you had damaged pipes or leaks at your property in the past, it used to mean excavators would come to your home and dig up your backyard or, at the very least, involve shovelling up portions of your yard. These days, qualified plumbers can do pipe relining at your Newcastle property without digging up your yard at all. This method is also suitable for issues with pipes within walls, beneath slabs of concrete, or even underneath swimming pools.


Pipe relining is not a quick fix that will mask the problem for a short period before you require something more permanent, but rather, it is a process that allows you to get many years out of your existing pipes for as long as ten to twenty years.


How does pipe relining work?

Before pipes are relined, professional plumbers will use CCTV cameras to ascertain issues with your pipes and look for leaks or any blockages within the pipe. This process saves a great deal of time speculating on the location of the problem within the lines and allows plumbers to pinpoint the location of the issue and get on with fixing your pipe efficiently.


Hydro jetting your pipes

After finding the location of the problem area(s) inside the pipe with the CCTV down the pipeline, the plumber cannot reline the problematic area until all blockages or debris lining the inside of the pipe gets cleaned out. Hydro jetting involves sending water down the pipe at high pressure to clear out dirt and lingering matter and ensuring the interior is clean and ready to be relined.


Pipe relining steps

The final step to having your pipes relined involves the plumber using a pliant and waterproof covering over the problematic area to cover up the leak or breakage of the pipe, which then dries and makes your line as functional as it used to be, giving you many years more life out of it.
