Is relining available for storm drains?

When to Consider Storm Drain Relining

There are a few key situations when storm drain relining should be considered as an option:

1. If you detect blockages or leaks, indicated by water pooling or slow drainage, prompt pipe repair is essential; we offer expert assessment and resolution.
2. Storm drain relining is recommended when root intrusion signs appear, to prevent rapid pipeline damage.
3. Noticeably deteriorated segments of pipe signal the need for urgent repair to address potential underground damage.
4. Preventative maintenance is advisable for ageing storm drain systems nearing the end of their lifespan to maintain functionality.

The advantage of trenchless technology in pipe relining is the preservation of surrounding infrastructure and plant life, particularly in residential and commercial settings. It also bypasses excavation works, providing you a no mess no dig solution with our pipe relining system, thanks to trenchless sewer relining techniques, for revitalising storm water sewer systems.

Our advanced relining technology offers a durable and cost-effective solution for preventing root invasions, blockages, and leaks, safeguarding your drainage system.

How Storm Drain Relining Works

Storm drain relining entails inserting resin-saturated liners into existing pipes, a state-of-the-art technique reflecting latest pipeline rehabilitation advancements. This no-dig, no-mess method can service various pipe diameters, perfect for upgrading your property’s stormwater system. The key steps are:

1. A CCTV drain inspection identifies problems and the precise locations for repairing your drain pipe network.
2. Comprehensive drain clearing and cleaning prepare the water pipe for the interior relining process.
3. Measurements are taken and the custom-fitted epoxy resin liner is fabricated.
4. After impregnation, the liner is carefully inserted into the drain, remaining flexible to fit perfectly within the existing pipe structure.
5. The custom-fitted liner, readied on-site, is installed via air or water inversion, reinforcing system durability.
6. The liner is then cured under controlled water pressure and temperature, solidifying it to form the new pipe within the old one.
7. Once cured, the liner signifies the completed job by establishing an impervious, flawless, and robust new pipe within the original structure.

The pipe relining process thus forms a robust, leak-proof and chemical-resistant new stormwater sewer drains that can defend your system from leaks and fend off root invasions. This immaculate, no-reinstallation technique allows for substantial refurbishments when working on your sewer line without disrupting the integrity of your stormwater drains.

The Pros of Storm Drain Relining

There are numerous advantages to relining storm drains rather than completely replacing them:

Enhanced Durability

The smooth epoxy resin liners, crucial in longterm sewer pipe relining projects, are a testament to our commitment where we use latest materials and techniques for enduring and sturdy applications. They are resistant to chemical corrosion, and these pipes can withstand ground movements or tree root damage without cracking or leaking.

Prevents Root Intrusion

The sealed, relined pipes act as an impenetrable barrier against root intrusion, offering home protection with minimal disruption. Denying access to moisture inside the pipe, tree roots are incapacitated, unable to penetrate and can cause no consequential anguish that our clients greatly wish to avoid with major blockages or breaks.

Minimal Environmental Impact

Storm drain relining, executed by our specialists, protects the integrity of nearby infrastructure and the environment, through our advanced relining systems. It avoids the act of digging up your garden or pavement, ensuring a clean tidy approach with no upheaval to your driveway, our technique being notably efficient and respectful, leading to a cleaned up outcome as we prevent unnecessary disturbances, favouring polished alternatives over conventional pipe replacement.

Long-Term Cost Savings

Though initially more costly than traditional digging, relining proves more economical in the long run by diminishing future repair requirements. It abolishes the need for recurrent excavations to fix your broken pipes whenever complications surface.

The Cons of Storm Drain Relining

While stormwater pipe relining solutions have numerous benefits, there are some potential limitations to be aware of:

Access restrictions

If there are multiple bends or very tight entrances, it may become impracticable to manoeuvre equipment intended for your sewer pipes. Complex layouts with multiple junctions can also pose access issues.

Pipe material and condition

Equipped with a wealth of knowledge, our team can get to grips with the inner intricacies, understanding the unique challenges faced, and recommend suitable relining system compatibility, conscious of materials like asbestos cement or galvanised iron that may defy bonding. Old pipes with extensive corrosion or fractures may not be suitable for relining if they lack the required structural stability.

Depth challenges

Extremely deep sewer pipes can make accurate measurement, resin impregnation and controlled insertion more difficult and prone to failure.

Emergency repairs still needed

In the event of urgent leaks, collapses, or blockages pending relining, our expert emergency plumbing services are available for swift resolution of your sewer storm water issues.

Long-Term Effectiveness Against Root Intrusion

Sewer pipe relining delivers enduring protection against root intrusion, bolstering the stability and lifespan of your drain systems. The strong epoxy resin liner safeguards infrastructure, obviating excavation and forming a resilient 'pipe-within-a-pipe’ barrier against harm. It seals out moisture and deprives invasive tree roots of the means to damage your sewer lines’ structural integrity.

Properly relined drains have the potential to extend service life by up to 50 years, exemplifying remarkable durability. During this extended lifespan, the relentless prevention of root intrusion into sewer storm drains underscores our firm endorsement of this relining service, validating their work, demonstrating their craftsmanship, and saving property stewards significant costs in averted maintenance and overhauls. Roots, without relining intervention, can precipitate serious blockages, potentially necessitating professional cleaning and pipe excavation.

Rehabilitated storm drains effectively prevent blocked drains, eliminating the need for continuous root cutting or chemical treatments and pre-empting common issues. Enhanced durability from pipe relining ensures that relined pipes can withstand residual root pressure with no risk of leakage or collapse. Reline your drains to stop root intrusion early, saving time and reducing long-term costs, while ensuring superior infrastructure stability.

Relining older stormwater systems proactively decreases flooding risks and consequently, public liability issues. It likewise reduces property damage and prevents contamination of surrounding soil and groundwater. In summary, storm drain relining is a wise investment that protects against emergencies, avoids repeated costs, and maximises the lifespan of your drainage system.
