If you're reading this, chances are that you're looking
to fix a troublesome drainage system. Whilst complete pipe replacement may seem
like a fantastic option, why not first consider the benefits of
pipe relining? Here are five outstanding reasons to choose pipe
relining over pipe replacement.
1. Lower
Installation Costs
Pipe relining in Sydney and NSW is easily the more
economical option. Pipe replacement can leave you with unnecessary surface
disruption and more restoration at your end than actually needed. No digging
and destruction means you'll be able to rehabilitate more pipe for your buck
and therefore extend your restoration efforts.
2. Pipe Integrity
2. Pipe Integrity
If your pipes are being slowly worn away by harsh
chemicals like hydrogen sulfide, or are suffering from tuberculation - then
pipe relining should be your first choice. Pipe relining provides excellent
corrosion resistance and protection from root growth to ensure that your pipes
are structurally durable for a sustained period of time.
3. Go Green
Complete pipe replacement can cause heavy water loss from
a drainage system (known as exfiltration). This is a serious environmental
hazard, yet can easily be avoided by simply choosing to reline. Pipe relining
not only prevents exfiltration, but also eliminates the need to dispose of
removed materials, particularly in zones where asbestos cement was used. This
makes pipe relining an environmentally friendly option
4. Flexibility
More and more customers are choosing pipe relining for
its flexibility as it leaves sewer segments decoupled from end to end. The
materials used in pipe relining also provide an optimal Manning's roughness
coefficient (as good as 0.010).
5. Top-notch Technology
Trenchless technologies are in continuous development and
have come a long way since their humble beginnings. The introduction of air and
steam curing has led to huge advancements in plumbing, resulting in quicker
installation times, and lower costs and energy for everyone involved.
As you can see, there are many benefits of choosing to
reline instead of replace. Here at G.F. James Plumbing we offer not just one,
but two types of pipe relining technology (Blueline & Redline) to assist in
