RePipe provides a better, more cost-effective Pipe Lining solution for repairing or replacing damaged and old underground pipes. Contact us to find out more.

Pipe relining has many disadvantages:

• Pipe Lining products reduce the inner diameter of the pipe. A reduction in diameter is often unacceptable for pipe owners, particularly for industrial pipes and public mains where population growth or increased housing density requires pipe diameters to be upsized
• Pipe Lining products can incur difficulty forming a smooth surface (particularly at bends and corners) leaving catchment points for sewage
• Pipe owners carry the risk of reliner longevity. This includes pipe reliners pulling away from the existing pipe and junctions and the risk of subsequent root invasion. Perhaps the greatest risk however is the risk of a reliner collapsing during the sudden load transfer that occurs when the existing pipe ultimately fails. Whilst some relining products are guaranteed, such guarantees do not protect pipe owners from their primary ownership risks and legal liabilities
• Most pipe lining products are not applicable to pressure pipes including potable water and gas pipes
• Pipe lining products can release toxins during and after installation which can damage water systems, air quality and neighbouring assets (such as manholes)
• Pipe lining products can be very noisy to install
• The installation of pipe lining products involves ‘inefficient’ expenditure that would not otherwise be incurred if the pipes were completely replaced. For example, prior to installing a reliner, the existing pipe must be root-cut and cleaned (often up to 4 times). Similarly, full CCTV inspections must be completed at least once prior to reliner installation (to prove the quality of reliner preparations) and 12 months after installation (to prove the longevity of the reliner).
