Why Should I Choose Pipe Relining?

  • Written by NewsServices.com

So, you've encountered every homeowner's worst nightmare. Your water is leaking, pipes are compromised, and you're facing the daunting prospect of having to repair your plumbing system.

When it comes to fixing your pipes, you generally have two options. The first option is the traditional method of excavation, which involves digging up your yard (or even your house) to access and replace the pipes. The second option is pipe relining, which involves getting to the pipes from the inside, then inserting and inflating a liner that will seal their existing structure.

So, which option should you choose? Here are five reasons to choose pipe relining over excavation.

1. Pipe Relining Is Less Disruptive

As you can probably imagine, excavation is a pretty disruptive process. Not only will it tear up your yard (or house), but it will also require the use of heavy machinery, which can be quite noisy and disruptive to your daily life. Pipe relining, on the other hand, is a much less invasive process. The only equipment that's required is a small access point to get to the pipes, and the process itself is relatively quiet.

2. Pipe Relining Is Less Expensive

The cost of excavation can vary depending on the severity of the damage and the size of your property, but it's generally quite expensive. Pipe relining, on the other hand, is a much more affordable option. In most cases, it will cost a fraction of the price of excavation.

3. Pipe Relining Is More Effective

The traditional method of excavation generally involves replacing the entire pipe. This means that there's a chance that the new pipe will be damaged in the same way as the old one. Pipe relining, on the other hand, seals the existing pipe and bolsters its integrity, which reduces the possibility of future damage.

4. Pipe Relining Is Faster

Besides having to get a repair altogether, the last thing any homeowner wants to do is wait around for it to be completed. This is often the case with excavation, as the process can take days or even weeks to complete. Pipe relining, on the other hand, is a much faster process. In most cases, it can be completed in just a few hours.

5. Pipe Relining Can Improve Your Flow

If your pipes are old or damaged, then they might not be able to handle the same amount of water flow as they used to. This can often lead to reduced water pressure and decreased flow throughout your home. Pipe relining can help to improve your flow by sealing any cracks or leaks in your pipes, which will restore their full capacity.

So, there you have it! Four reasons to choose pipe relining over excavation. If you're facing the prospect of having to repair your plumbing system, we hope that you'll consider this less invasive, more affordable, faster, and more effective option. Contact your plumber today to see why pipe relining is the best choice for your home.
