The homeowner was experiencing ongoing plumbing issues caused by 45 metres of damaged clay sewer pipes. The compromised pipework risked further disruption and required immediate attention.
To resolve the issue, our team of pipe relining experts in Gordon aimed to restore the pipes’ functionality with a durable, cost-effective solution that avoided major excavation.
The client sought a professional solution to reline 45 metres of faulty pipes, extending from the front of the house to a side PVC inspection point. They required a reliable, cost-effective method to restore the functionality of their pipework and ensure it met modern standards. By engaging experienced pipe relining experts in Gordon, the client was assured of a high-quality outcome.
Day 1
Site Preparation and Assessment
The first step was to prepare the site for relining. Our team cleared obstructions that could hinder access to the pipes, including any external structures that might complicate the process. Excavation was carried out to ensure direct access and to replace faulty sections of sewer pipe. Once the site was prepared, we conducted a CCTV drain camera inspection to thoroughly assess the condition of the pipes. This allowed us to map out the damage and develop a precise plan for relining.
Cleaning and Prepping the Pipes
Before installing the liner, the pipes underwent a deep clean using high-pressure drain cleaning equipment. This step was essential to remove debris, residue, and any build-up that could interfere with the relining process. We then used specialised Picote technology to etch the pipe surface, ensuring optimal adhesion for the liner. With the pipes prepped and cleaned, the system was ready for relining.
Day 2
Installation of the Liner
The pipe relining process involved impregnating a Water Marked superior liner with a single part U.V resin, carefully measured and mixed to ensure durability. The liner was then inserted into the pipe and aligned to cover the damaged sections. UV light was used to cure the liner, hardening it into a seamless, corrosion-resistant pipe lining. This stage required precision to ensure proper alignment and complete coverage.
Final Inspection and Restoration
After the liner was cured, we conducted another CCTV camera sewer pipe inspection to confirm the integrity of the relining process. Any excess material at the pipe ends was trimmed to restore proper flow. We inserted the robotic cutter and reinstated multiple junctions. Once the pipes were fully functional, the excavation site was backfilled, and the surface was restored to its original condition.
The UV curing process posed a significant challenge due to the lack of natural shade on-site. Direct sunlight created an environment where the resin risked hardening prematurely, complicating the relining process and requiring additional precautions.
Temporary covers were constructed to regulate the curing process and prevent premature hardening under direct sunlight. This maintained the structural integrity of the liner throughout the process.
Certain sections of the pipe were located in areas that could not be reached through existing access points. This made it necessary to excavate specific parts of the property to create access points, adding complexity to the project.
In areas where access through inspection points were insufficient, precise excavation allowed for efficient pipe entry. These areas were carefully backfilled and fully restored upon completion of the relining.
Ensuring proper adhesion of the liner required the pipe surfaces to be entirely clean and free from debris. Any remaining residue or imperfections could have jeopardised the durability and effectiveness of the relining process.
High-pressure drain cleaning and Picote technology were used to prepare the pipes, removing debris and ensuring a clean surface for maximum adhesion and a seamless finish.
As this was a residential property, maintaining a balance between efficient work and minimal disruption was a challenge. The need for excavation and the setup of equipment had to be carefully managed to respect the client’s living environment and property aesthetics.
Careful planning of excavation and equipment placement minimised disturbances to the client’s environment. Once the project was completed, the property was restored to its original condition, preserving its appearance and functionality.
The relining process provided a seamless, permanent solution to the damaged pipes. Using advanced technology, the new lining offered exceptional resistance to corrosion, cracks, and leaks, significantly extending the lifespan of the system while meeting the highest durability standards.
All work adhered to Australian Relining and Plumbing Standards (AS3500). UV curing ensured the liner hardened under optimal conditions, forming a robust, long-lasting repair. A final CCTV sewer pipe inspection validated the success of the relining, providing the client with full confidence in the outcome.
