How does pipe relining work?

Unblock The Pipe

Before the pipe can be relined, it needs to be unblocked. Using a high-pressure water jetter, our Service Today technicians will remove any foreign matter that is blocking the damaged pipe.

Inspect The Pipe

Service Today has the latest CCTV drain camera technology on hand to have your pipe inspected. We’ll locate the damaged section in your pipe and mark it so that the new lining can be positioned and inserted.

Insert The New Lining

A liner filled with epoxy resin is inserted and positioned inside the damaged section of the pipe. Through the use of compressed air, the liner conforms to the inside of the pipe, until the resin is cured. The inflation device is removed and a new section of pipe is left adhering to the existing pipe.

The Reline Is Complete!

Between two and four hours later, the reline is complete. This happens when the patch finishes curing inside the pipes and forms a new pipe within the old damaged section.
