Signs You Might Need Pipe Relining in Your Home
Blocked drains and pesky water leaks can be more than just an annoyance – they can often hint at a more serious problem hiding beneath the surface. If you have been experiencing any of the following signs, it might be time to think about pipe relining:
Frequent Blocked or Slow Drains
If you’re noticing that your sinks, showers, or toilets are draining slowly or getting blocked all the time, it’s a clear sign that something is going on in your pipes. Over time, pipes can start to crack or even collapse, leading to a buildup of debris, grease, and sometimes even tree roots, which can cause your blocked drain to keep coming back. Pipe relining can restore a smooth surface inside your pipes, helping water and waste flow freely again.
Strange Sounds From The Drain
Hearing strange noises from your drain? That could mean there’s air trapped in your plumbing system. This tends to happen when water isn’t flowing as it should because of a blockage or a damaged section of pipe. These sounds can be an early warning sign that your plumbing needs some attention before things get worse.
Leaks or Water stains
If you’ve seen damp spots starting to form on your walls, roof or floors, it could be due to leaking pipes behind the scenes. Cracks, worn-out joints or old pipes can slowly leak water, leading to structural damage and mould starting to grow. Pipe relining can seal these leaks from the inside of the pipe, stopping water from escaping and protecting your property.
Low Water Pressure
Low water pressure from your taps or shower could be more than a blockage. Broken pipes can affect the water flow or create leaks that affect the overall water pressure in your property. Pipe relining can help restore your plumbing system’s full capacity without the annoyance of a complete pipe replacement.
Bad Smells from your drains
If you’re catching a whiff of strong or bad smells coming from your kitchen, bathroom, or laundry drain, it might be a sign that there is some pipe damage. Cracks or breaks can let sewer gas escape, especially if the pipes aren’t properly sealed. By relining your pipes, you create an airtight barrier that keeps those smells at bay and enhances the overall hygiene of your property.
Water Damage or Mould Growth
Growing damp spots, peeling paint, or mould creeping up your walls or on the roof is often a common sign of a sneaky water leak. These leaks can come from a damaged underground or internal pipe that slowly lets water peak out over time. Pipe relining is a long-term solution that not only stops the leak but prevents any further water damage, all without the pain of tearing up your property.
Old Pipes
If you’re living in an older Queensland home, the chances are that your pipes might be worn out, rusted, or beginning to break. These aging pipes are more prone to cracking and leaking, and in some cases, fully collapsing. Instead of going through the hassle of replacing your entire pipe system, pipe relining is a quicker, more budget-friendly way to repair your existing plumbing system.
What is Pipe Relining?
Pipe relining is a clever way of repairing pipes without digging them up. We insert a special resin liner into your existing pipes, which hardens and creates a brand-new pipe inside the old one.
This method works for:
- Pipes that have cracks or breaks
- When tree roots have invaded your drains
- Leaks caused by shifting or damaged joints
- Old pipes showing signs of wear and tear
