There are several warning signs of damage that may indicate you need repairs. If your line begins to drain slowly, then something is probably blocking the flow of waste. You might see backup into your home or business or notice smells coming from the floor drain. These are all potential signs of damage. Another sign of damage is cracks in the exterior line. If your home or business has experienced some settling over time, you might notice this in your pipe. Cracks can lead to blockages and thus require repair or replacement.

Pipe relining offers the benefits of a shorter restoration time, increased safety for workers because it eliminates the need to dig large trenches throughout the property, decreased risk of damage to surrounding landscaping and reduced cost to install or replace a pipe.

Pipe relining and clearing can be used to fix several different problems. The most common issues that may require relining and clearing include a collapsed or deteriorated pipe, root intrusion, soil collapse, structural shifting or even heavy silt build up.

When a pipe is inspected using a CCTV camera, the size of the issue that is found determines what needs to be completed. Generally, for smaller repairs, pipe patching is all that’s needed as pipe relining is used for larger damaged sections. Patching uses a special fiberglass mesh loaded with resin to patch over the damaged section compared to relining, which uses a watertight glue to replace a section of pipe.
