What is Pipe Relining



There's probably no more dreaded home improvement project than replacing sewerage pipes. It's an expensive process that does nothing to enhance your property's appearance or value. You may not want to do it, but if your pipes are damaged, you may think it's the only solution.














What is Pipe Relining?

Pipe relining is a technology that has been available for over a decade, but is still a largely unknown alternative to pipe replacement. As the name implies, it is a method we can use that enables them to reline the interior of pipes.
We do pipe relining by inserting a specially designed tube through the pipes with low cost. When the tube is in place, we inflate the tubing until it fits tightly against the walls of the pipes. Aside from being less expensive than replacing old pipes, pipe relining takes less time and does less damage to your landscape. Depending on the product we use. It can have a warranty of between 10 and 50 years, so pipe relining is a long-term solution, too.

Not all plumbers provide pipe relining services. We can save you thousands of dollars.

Limit Your Water Usage!

Conserve water and limit its usage to what you need. You can only do this when the plumbing system installed is proper. You can also implement conservation methods to reduce the usage of water. The first step to follow in all this is to turn off the tap when you are not using it. You can also install toilets and faucets that use the minimum amount of water needed. Use a quality fixture, like Toto or American Standard, for the toilets. They work better.











Here are some important steps you need to follow!
1. Check faucets and pipes for leaks
Even a small leak from a pipe or a faucet can waste numerous gallons of water. So, keep checking them regularly.

2. Don't use the toilet as an ashtray or wastebasket
Every time you flush a cigarette butt, facial tissue or other small bit of trash, five to seven gallons of water is wasted. Keep checking the drains too!

3. Use your water meter to check for hidden water leaks
Read the house water meter before and after a two-hour period when no water is being used. If the meter does not read exactly the same, there is a leak.

Water conservation has become more and more essential. It not only saves money on your utility bill, but also helps in prevent water pollution.
Conserving water can also extend the life of your septic system by reducing soil saturation, and reducing any pollution due to leaks.
