What is Pipe Relining?
Pipe relining, also known as Cured-In-Place Pipelining (CIPP), is a plumbing method used in an attempt to repair your old pipes, in situations like when you have a cracked pipe. This process consists of utilising a special resin in order to fix your pipes from the inside out.
The success of this process is in the use of a unique resin to cure the old and used pipe. A resin-soaked tube, made out of either polyester or fibreglass, is used to insert the resin within the damaged pipe. The resin will then harden and form another new and improved pipe lining within the old pipe. This process is a common relining method when there is a blocked sewer pipe.
Pipe relining is known to be a ‘trench-less’ form of plumbing technology, as there’s no digging involved in the process. This detail alone makes pipe relining extremely cost-effective for Service Heroes customers and a less invasive method for repairing your old and damaged pipes.
