Pipe relining allows pools pipes to be repaired without excavation. It seals cracks and leaks from the inside, creating a durable new pipe surface. As leading pool plumbers, we use advanced trenchless technology to locate and repair pipe damage for a fraction of traditional pipe replacement costs.
Our relining system offers a practical, no-dig solution for repairing swimming pool pipework, preserving your landscaped garden. This method involves inserting an epoxy resin liner into the damaged host pipe, minimally disrupting your property’s aesthetic and functionality. As the epoxy cures, it seals cracks and holes, stopping leaks.
This technique, ideal for PVC pipe repairs, maintains the flow of water by addressing hairline fractures, loose joints, root intrusion, and minor holes in your pool’s plumbing infrastructure, fortifying the pipe without major excavation. It restores structural stability and water flow with minimal mess and disruption to your pool and garden.
Our expert analysis highlighted the advantages of pipe relining for drain pipes, drawing particular attention to its cost effective nature, swift repair times, and minimal impact on your garden’s aesthetic. We will cover the suitability and limitations of our relining services, and outline the process from inspection to completion.
There are several common reasons that lead to leaks in pool pipes:
Tree roots seeking water can exert pressure on pipes and potentially cause damage. Pipe relining is adept at repairing such root-induced issues without the need for excavation. PVC pipes, which become more fragile over time, can also succumb to damage with less external force.
Shifting or unstable soil, owing to conditions like droughts or floods, can adversely affect the pipes under swimming pools. Such soil shifts can strain the water pipes beneath your pool, leading to leaks at weak points or joints.
The chemicals often used to maintain pool spa and hot water pools can lead to a pool plumbing leak, contributing to corrosion after years of battling sewer storm water infiltration. Chemicals accelerate internal pipe degradation. Suction side leaks often emerge alongside pressure side issues within the plumbing system, especially at points weakened by corrosion or storm water inflow like elbow joints or tees.
Pipes naturally deteriorate with age, and decades of exposure to water pressure and temperature shifts can cause the material to crack, typically at stress points like joints.
Regardless of the cause, pipe relining offers a cost-effective repair solution for broken pipes that avoids the hefty expense incurred with traditional pipe replacement.
Detecting a leak in pool pipes can be challenging, but there are a few techniques homeowners and professionals use:
A meticulous inspection of all above-ground pipework, joints, valves, and fittings is crucial, particularly in identifying places where cutting out and replacing compromised sections may be necessary. Leaks can be minuscule; thus, close inspection is essential to ensure no issues are overlooked, effectively eliminating guesswork.
For precise detection, introducing a special dye into the pool system is advised, followed by using a UV light to inspect joints and connections; the dye will glow if a leak is present.
Isolate sections of pipework and subject them to pressure above regular operation. Declines in pressure are definitive signs pinpointing where leak issues persist. Professionals use specialised digital gauges for accuracy.
An infrared camera or drain camera can detect subtle temperature differences that often suggest water loss, pinpointing leaks by contrasting ambient pipe temperatures with surrounding water. This requirement is standard for professional leak detection when assessing drain pipe issues for best results.
Our techniques with specialised tools and materials are effective for sewer pipes inspections, including those composed of PVC and concrete, to identify areas affected by leaks through sub-surface moisture detection.
If a leak is suspected but unconfirmed, call us today for a thorough professional electrical plumbing inspection. Trained plumbers possess the expertise and technology to precisely pinpoint the location of pool pipe leaks.
Upon diagnosing a leak in your pool’s plumbing, deciding whether pipe relining serves as the appropriate sewer repair method is critical. An experienced plumber will conduct a meticulous inspection, employing leak detection tools like pressure testing and cameras to assess the leak’s location and the full extent damage.
In many situations, pipe lining can effectively target leaks in your existing pool pipes, provided that the host pipe has the necessary structural integrity to support the epoxy resin. Pipe relining can used repair issues such as:
Relining efficiently seals leaks from within, rejuvenating pipes with a lasting repair. The smooth epoxy barrier also deters future root intrusion, all without leaving a mess.
Yet, pipes that are collapsed, severely corroded, or displaced might be irreparable. Pipe relining spares your landscape from extensive disfigurement, requiring only minimal access points to introduce the necessary equipment. Consultation with a reputable plumber is recommended to decide if pipe relining is feasible, given your pipe’s condition, the leak’s severity, and potential access challenges.
Relining pool pipes is a streamlined, no-dig procedure that reinstates water flow and halts leaks, safeguarding your backyard. Here is the process step-by-step:
The pipe relining process takes just one day, ensuring minimal disruption and restoring the flow water to your daily routine. It extends the lifespan of pool pipes for decades, showing up when traditional replacements fall short.
When pipes around pools leak, homeowners face the decision between pipe relining and full replacement. Considerations include:
Pipe relining costs between $70-100 per metre, notably more affordable than full replacement, which can be $200-250 per metre. For extensive pipework, relining can result in substantial savings, as it obviates the restoration costs associated with landscaping after excavation.
Our relining is completed swiftly with same day service, preventing garden damage from extensive digging. Replacement can be considerably more time-consuming, taking up to a week per pool, with the potential for swim spaces to be out of action for months, especially if retiling is required.
The non-intrusive trenchless relining ensures that your pool deck and nearby features remain untouched. This approach ensures your garden’s lush landscaping remains unblemished.
Relined pipes are durable, lasting over 30 years. Although new pipework can last slightly longer, the cost savings make relining a prudent investment.
For cast iron or other pipes with isolated problems, lining your internal plumbing is a tactful strategy that prevents further damage while curbing expenses and pool downtime. When replacement is the only option due to structurally compromised pipes, our experts can assist with a smooth transition.
