Pipes don’t last forever. Over time, tree root intrusion, seasonal changes, and accidental damage can all take their toll on underground pipe networks. When this happens, many assume the only option is to dig up and replace the damaged sections—often an expensive and disruptive process.
Fortunately, there’s a smarter alternative: trenchless pipe relining.
Trenchless pipe relining—most commonly using the Cured-In-Place Pipe (CIPP) method—has been around for over 40 years but is still relatively unknown compared to traditional pipe replacement. As the name suggests, this method creates a new pipe within the existing pipe by inserting and curing a resin-soaked liner.
The result? A fully rehabilitated pipe with an extended lifespan of 50+ years—all without the need for excavation.
If water is near any electrical points, it’s also a good idea to turn off your electricity at the switchboard to reduce the risk of electrocution or fire.
One of the biggest benefits of trenchless relining is its lower overall cost. Traditional pipe replacement involves:
Hiring excavation equipment and labour
Removing and disposing of old pipes
Installing brand new piping
Restoring any damaged infrastructure (like roads, driveways, or landscaping)
Relining skips most of that—making it a much more budget-friendly option.
Pipe relining is typically much faster than full pipe replacement. With minimal digging and a streamlined process, relining can often be completed within a day, depending on the job.
This makes it ideal for busy commercial or residential properties where downtime is costly.
Unlike traditional methods, trenchless relining doesn’t require tearing up large sections of land. In most cases, just one small access point (about 1m²) is needed.
That means:
Your landscaping stays intact
Driveways and footpaths remain undisturbed
No major reconstruction is needed afterward
Pipe relining isn’t a temporary fix—it’s a long-term solution. With the right method and materials, a relined pipe can last 50 years or more.
This makes it a smart investment in your infrastructure.
At Plumbing & Pipeline Solutions (PPS), we use Renoflo’s innovative CIPP relining technology. This method uses hydrostatic head pressure to invert a flexible, resin-impregnated liner into the existing pipe. Once in place, it cures and hardens to form a strong, seamless new pipe within the old one.
It’s fast, clean, safe, and delivers long-lasting results—backed by decades of performance globally.
