Stormwater Drain Pipe Relining

Introduction to Pipe Relining for Stormwater Drains

Pipe relining offers a trenchless solution to repair sewer system drains and pipes, eliminating the need for excavation and preventing property damage. It involves inserting an epoxy resin liner into your stormwater sewer pipes to create a 'pipe within a pipe’, sealing cracks and repairing damage, while maintaining flow capacity.

Here at Erskine Park Plumbing, we specialise in all pipe relining solutions and can address blocked drains in both residential and commercial settings across Erskine Park, Sydney. Our pipe relining technology can be used to mend damaged sewer stormwater pipes, including those made of clay, PVC, concrete, and HDPE, with various types of impairment such as cracks, breaks, or root intrusion.

A CCTV camera inspects your pipe’s interior to determine if relining can resolve the issues causing your drain damage.

The benefits of addressing cracked broken pipes with relining vs pipe replacement include:

• No excavation required - preserves your plumbing system integrity by eliminating the process of digging up your yard or impairing your garden/driveways with no dig pipe solutions
• Significantly reduced disruption your home business operations
• Relining requires significantly less time and money than traditional pipe replacements.

Assessing Drain Damage and Suitability for Relining

Assessing your plumbing system for damage is essential before proceeding with pipe relining on your stormwater sewer drains. We utilise high tech CCTV drain cameras that can carry high-resolution visuals to inspect the full length of your pipes for any damage or issues.

The CCTV cameras have powerful lighting that illuminates the inside of a damaged pipe, transmitting images back that precisely identify the location and severity of any cracks or other forms of damage, misaligned pipe connections, root intrusion, and more.

We measure the diameter of your pipes to ensure they meet the necessary specifications for a liner that will fit snugly once installed.

Typically, pipe relining can be adapted for most pipe types, repairing broken pipes made of clay, PVC, concrete or HDPE in stormwater drains of most diameters, including the intricate work of fitting into your pipes with certain dimension restrictions. However, pipes which are severely damaged, have heavy tree roots infiltration, extreme bends or offset joints may not be good candidates.

With our years of expertise in pipe relining Sydney, we can evaluate all your stormwater drains to determine if they are eligible for a long-lasting epoxy resin solution to upgrade and reinforce them.

Don’t wait until you have major emergency leaks or flooding.

Our detailed CCTV drain inspections can detect early signs of drain problems and determine if having your drain relined with our pipe relining solutions can be the right fit for your sewer stormwater drains.

Benefits of Trenchless Pipe Relining

Trenchless pipe relining can also offer a multitude of benefits over traditional blocked drain repair for stormwater sewer drains, with little to no disturbance:

• Minimal excavation and disruption - Existing access points are used, so there’s little need to dig up drain pipes and damage gardens or driveways
• Cost-effective - The liner installation incurs considerably lower costs than the extensive excavation required for replacing pipes.
• Durable solution - The new liner, a seamless epoxy resin, bonds to the old pipe walls, providing a leak-proof barrier for at least 50 years
• Resists future root intrusion - The smooth liner ensures pipes can prevent roots from growing inside and blocking drains
• Maintains flow capacity - The diameter of the liner matches pipes so water flow is unaffected
• Faster with less mess - Pipe relining is completed in 1-3 days with minimal impact on your property

Trenchless technology can reline your stormwater drain, ensuring pipes are restored from the inside out, with our experienced plumbers capable of handling the task with little to no need for digging or major demolition.

Pipe Relining Materials and Process

The key material utilised in our pipe relining process does pipe relining with a flexible, woven felt tube made of polyester or fibreglass which is saturated with a thermoset epoxy or silicate resin. This forms a tight-fitting custom liner that creates a new pipe within old, bonding effectively with the interior walls of your existing stormwater drain pipes.

Our standard procedure for sewer line relining, designed to extend the lifespan of plumbing inside your home, involves:

1. Cleaning the stormwater drain - We deploy high-pressure water jets to clear away accumulated detritus and prime the walls of your sewer pipes
2. CCTV inspection - Our drain camera checks for any final issues before relining
3. Saturating the liner - The liner tube is saturated with epoxy resin in our truck
4. Inserting the liner - Using an inversion process, the liner is turned inside out and inserted into damaged sections of the pipe system
5. Curing with hot water steam - The resin is left to cure with hot water steam, ensuring it bonds tightly to the pipe walls

This trenchless pipe relining process can take just 1-2 days with minimal disruption to your Erskine Park property. Our advanced relining methods enable the resin to cure to rock-hard strength, effectively safeguarding your stormwater drain system from damage and leaks for over 50 years.

We highly recommend our top-tier pipe relining materials and are fully certified to deliver professional, no-dig stormwater drain restorations across Sydney. Call us on 1300 349 338!

Challenges in Stormwater Pipe Relining

While pipe relining is an effective trenchless method for repairing stormwater drains, there can be some challenges involved in the process.

Navigating pipes with multiple bends or junctions can complicate the process of relining your drainage system. Our technicians use specialist CCTV cameras and equipment to manoeuvre liners into place even in complex drain systems.

Dealing with pipes of varying diameters is another potential issue, as the liner must conform tightly to pipe walls so we can get a proper cure. Adjustable inflation bladders enable the resin-saturated liner to fit snugly within pipes of various sizes.

Significant tree root intrusion blocking over 50% of the pipe’s diameter may also prevent relining from being a feasible pipe repair option. In such cases, we can provide other trenchless solutions to clear blockages before attempting to reline the stormwater drain.

With over 20 years of relining pipe expertise, Erskine Park Plumbing has the knowledge and gear to troubleshoot any challenges when reinforcing stormwater pipes. We specialise in minimally-invasive drain restorations across Sydney. Trust our certified technicians to assess if your stormwater system is suitable for relining.

We offer up to 50-year warranties on our pipe relining work, supported by our team of specialised technicians. Contact us on 1300 349 338 for stormwater drain repairs with minimal fuss and disruption.

Post-Relining Inspection and Drain Maintenance

After completing the pipe relining process, a crucial final step is conducting post-installation inspections of the restored stormwater drain. CCTV cameras and pressure tests are used to meticulously check the relined pipe’s integrity.

The seamless epoxy liner should now deliver a smooth, jointless and corrosion-resistant flow path able to withstand pressure without leaks that could cause your home distress. Provided no damage or defects are identified, the relined stormwater pipe has an expected useful lifespan of over 50 years.

Regular maintenance inspections every 3-5 years with CCTV technology are advised to detect and address issues early. This allows any new issues like tiny cracks or blockages to be detected early before they worsen. Catching problems early maximises the longevity of your reinforced stormwater drains.

Cost and Longevity Comparison: Relining vs Replacement

When it comes to repairing damaged pipes in your stormwater drains in Erskine Park, pipe relining provides substantial cost savings over full replacement. Relining costs between AUD 80 and AUD 300 per linear metre, in contrast to pipe replacements which start at over AUD 400 per metre, making relining on average 50-80% more affordable.

The minimal excavation and labour with relining contribute to its cost-effectiveness. Additionally, minimal landscaping repairs or driveway re-concreting are needed after less invasive pipe relining.

Along with being the more cost-efficient choice, relined stormwater drains boast a remarkable lifespan, akin to installing a durable new pipe, with 50+ years ensured by durable epoxy resins. Compare this to 30-50 years for replaced PVC, clay or concrete pipes. Regular CCTV inspections and maintenance help ensure that relined drains outlast traditional pipe installations.

Limitations of Pipe Relining

While pipe relining is an effective trenchless drain restoration method, there are some limitations to be aware of where it may not be the best solution:

• Severely collapsed or compressed pipes often cannot be relined. There must be adequate room to insert the resin-saturated liner.
• Pipes with extensive cracks, fractures, holes or other material degradation would need to be assessed as they are mostly unsuitable for relining.
• Non-circular pipe profiles like rectangular or oval configurations cannot accommodate liners.
• Drain pipe lengths greater than 325 feet are generally not possible to reline in a single installation.

Our skilled specialists will conduct a comprehensive assessment using CCTV cameras to determine if pipe relining is suitable or if complete replacement is needed. No two situations are alike when it comes to pipe damage and repairability.
