Maintaining your home is a continuous process that starts the day that you move in. In addition to the parts of your home that are visible, there are a number of elements that are hidden and out of sight, but which play an extremely important role in the everyday functioning of your home.

Plumbing for example is something where you only see part of the setup – usually the taps, sink and shower unit. Behind the scenes though, there is a lot going on which you may not even be aware of. One particular aspect of plumbing which is extremely important is piping. Without it, how would water flow around the home, or the waste be expelled from your toilet?

Piping in the home

Like other parts of your home, piping is something that is also prone to wear and tear. Over the years, it will gradually start to wear out, and leaks could very easily start springing up. Sometimes pipes simply get blocked or parts start to break. The problem with this is that you will probably not be aware that there is any problem building up until it reaches a breaking point.

Some piping in the home such as that under the kitchen sink or in the bathroom is easier than others to fix and maintain, simply because it is accessible. When it comes to piping underneath your home, you are going to need to call in a professional to fix the problem.

Pipe relining as a solution

It will be an expensive and lengthy task to dig up and replace all of the piping that you have underneath and around your home. This is why for many individuals, a serious piping problem is a nightmare that all homeowners fear. However, there is a solution that can save you a lot of difficulty, as well as costs.

Pipe relining is a process with which you can replace the pipelines around your home without actually having to dig them up. Pipe relining, which is also known as Cured In-Place Pipelining is where a new lining is fitted inside an existing pipeline. It’s a service that is offered by plumbers and professionals the world over, so you can easily find a service for pipe relining in Brisbane, London, Paris or New York.

In essence, the method involves a felt tube made of either fiberglass or polyester, that is resin saturated being pulled into the damaged pipe, usually from a manhole, and then once the resin attaches to the inner walls of the original pipe, the new lining can then take over and act as a brand-new pipeline.

Benefits of pipe relining

There are a number of benefits in using the pipe relining method when it comes to repairing any pipe damage or problems that you may be facing. Below we will look at some of the main advantages in using this technique.

It’s cheaper

In most cases, pipe relining is a cheaper method than having all of your pipes dug out and replaced with new ones. If the level of damage to your pipes is severe, then you might have no alternative but to actually replace them, but for most levels of damage, pipe relining can do the job.

Another plus point with pipe relining is that you are able to have partial repairs undertaken on a damaged pipe, rather than have the whole thing replaced, which is going to be much more expensive.

It’s quicker

Replacing your pipes is a lengthy process involving a lot of work. In addition to digging up and replacing the old broken pipes, you then have to close the soil or tarmac to cover them up again. With pipe relining, the job is one that can be completed within just a few hours.

It’s more convenient

Having any type of major work done to your property is going to cause a disturbance to your regular routine. Maybe you need to arrange to have some time off work, so that you are present while the work is being done. The pipe relining method eliminates this and allows you to continue as normal without too much disturbance. This is one reason why pipe relining is the preferred solution for places of business that have pipe problems. Office blocks or shopping malls can have the pipes fixed without having to close down for a few days.

Some final thoughts

If you are having pipe or plumbing problems at your home, then the first thing you need to do is to call in a professional to assess the situation.

If you are faced with the worst-case scenario where you have pipes that need replacing, then unless the damage is very bad, you should be able to tackle the issue with pipe relining, which will be cheaper and much quicker than actually replacing all of the damaged piping.

Frozen pipes are no laughing matter. If you or someone you know have had pipes frozen, call a water damage restoration expert  immediately.
