Pipe relining in Sydney is growing in popularity for its

efficiency in repairing blocked and damaged drains.

Some establishments and households report that pipe

relining is a world apart from the traditional way of

fixing broken pipes that involve digging.

But just what makes pipe relining so efficient? With the

help of special tools and equipment, pipe relining has

grown to become one of the most preferred methods

for fixing broken pipes in Sydney.

Here’s a look into the tools and equipment involved in

pipe relining.

High pressure water jetter

High pressure water jetter is a common

equipment used in the plumbing business.

It’s mainly used to clean sewer lines and in

other industries it’s used for cleaning patios

and concrete, as well as cars. It powerfully

blasts water using a pressure generator

through a nozzle with pressures that could

be as high as 25,000 per square inch (psi).

Pipe camera

Just like in modern operating procedures

where cameras are used to for those

hard to reach areas deep inside our

body, plumbing also uses a special type

of pipe camera that allows contractors to

take a high quality image of the pipe’s

damaged area. This helps plumbers

properly assess the extent of the damage

so they can apply the appropriate actions

needed to restore the pipe.

The bladder

This specially designed tool holds the liner in

place as it is inserted inside the damaged

pipe. It adheres to the shape and curves of

the pipes so that no matter how sharp the

turns are, the liner can be easily set in place.

The bladder is inflated to push the liner firmly

against the pipe’s inner wall until the liner

dries. The bladder is then deflated once the

liner is dry.

The special epoxy resin

The epoxy resin used to line the inner wall of the

damaged pipe and sewer lines is a mix of special

chemicals that make it so durable. Once it’s

applied, the pipe is as good as new with the new

lining material, making the pipe work even better

and last longer.
