Introduction to Pipe Relining: A Trenchless and Non-Invasive Repair Method
Pipe rehabilitation is a trenchless method for fixing underground pipes affected by issues such as tree root intrusion, without excavation. It involves feeding a resin-impregnated liner into your damaged pipes and curing it in place to form a solid pipe within the old one. It results in a durable, smooth, and seamless repair that leaves landscaping and driveways untouched.
At Glenwood Plumbing, our licenced technicians can access pipes to identify plumbing issues such as cracks or blocked drains using pipe relining inspection techniques, like CCTV cameras, for a full system inspection. We provide custom pipe relining solutions that work within the existing pipes, precisely tailored to address your specific circumstances. The flexible epoxy resin liner, integral to our pipe rehabilitation services, bonds to the inner walls of your old pipe, restoring structural stability to your drainage system and flow capacity.
Your relined pipes will endure for decades and are accompanied by long-term warranties, shielding you from any major disruption that might otherwise impact your property. They also offer a more environmentally conscious alternative to traditional pipe system methods, which often involve ripping up and replacing old pipes. Pipe relining minimises dig sites, safeguarding high-traffic areas on your property from disruption.

Is Pipe Relining Suitable for Repairing Pipes in High-Traffic Areas?
Pipe relining is perfectly suited for repairing pipes beneath high-traffic areas such as driveways, walkways, and landscaped garden beds. Unlike the method digging up and replacing tradition prescribes, drain relining is a trenchless process that does not disrupt surface areas.
A flexible epoxy resin is threaded into the damaged pipes, forming a seamless new lining within the existing structure. Drain repair via relining provides a long-lasting solution without digging trenches across your property’s traffic zones.
Clients frequently choose pipe relining to prevent damage to crucial outdoor areas like landscaping and driveways.

Our plumbers’ expertise and industry-leading tools transform old pipes, fitting them with a strong pipes new structure while ensuring your daily activities remain uninterrupted.
Pipe Relining Process and Procedures
The pipe relining procedure at Glenwood Plumbing consists of the following primary steps:
- Initial CCTV Inspection: An initial CCTV camera inspection identifies any issues within your pipes, such as cracks or leaks.
- Pipe Cleaning: We use high pressure water jets to clean out any debris, grease buildup, tree roots and other leaks blockages inside the pipe.
- Epoxy Resin Installation: Next, we saturate a felt liner with durable epoxy resin and pull it through your pipe using air pressure. It hardens and bonds to the inner walls of your existing pipe.
- Curing & Finishing: The curing process is expedited with infrared technology, rapidly rendering the new pipe ready for use. We meticulously come to your location and trim, reconnect lateral drains, and conduct final CCTV checks.
The flexible resin conforms smoothly around bends and provides a lasting, permanent solution with negligible impact on pipe diameter. Relined pipes not only regain their integrity but can exceed the strength of newer pipes, courtesy of the robust composite materials used.
We stand behind our workmanship with long-term warranties. Leveraging over 25 years of experience in pipe relining across Sydney, Glenwood Plumbing assures minimal disruption during restoration, even in high-traffic areas.
Comparing Pipe Relining to Traditional Pipe Replacement
Homeowners with damaged underground pipes traditionally contended with invasive digging to replace them. Pipe relining offers a modern, minimally disruptive alternative to traditional replacement.
Key differences include:
- Timeframe: Full sewer pipe replacement can extend beyond a week, impeding access, whereas relining typically requires only 1-2 days with minor access points.
- Cost: Opting for pipe relining can yield cost savings of 60% or more for homeowners compared to traditional replacement. It also qualifies for tax rebates and insurance claims.
- Disruption: Replacement requires jackhammers and trenches across yards. Relining involves no heavy machinery and protects landscaping.
- Longevity: Epoxy-resin relined pipes often outlast new pipe systems, extending the service life over 50+ years.
Relining capitalises on the existing pipes’ structural integrity for comprehensive internal rehabilitation, not just superficial repairs. It is less labour-intensive than replacement and achieves the same, if not better, results in high-traffic locations.
