Traditionally, pipe relining involved a lot of disruption to properties, as it was necessary to dig up pipes to repair or reline them. At SXP, we aim to offer the best service with the least amount of disruption, which is why we offer no-dig solutions for patch pipe relining.
SXP have been servicing the Northern Beaches for over 20 years and have grown into a team of trusted and reliable plumbers. Sven and Nikki founded SXP with the vision to become the go-to plumber of the Northern Beaches and surrounds, prioritising honesty, reliability and customer satisfaction.
SXP offers plumbing services to commercial, residential and strata properties across the Northern Beaches. We deal in all sorts of plumbing, from new builds and renovations to emergency plumbing, repair and maintenance, rainwater system, drainage solutions and pipe reline patching.
As the name suggests, pipe relining involves creating a new lining inside a corroded or damaged pipe. Traditionally this was a job that required excavation to manually remove and replace or reline damaged pipes. Modern techniques now mean that excavation is only necessary in extreme cases, and full pipe relining or patching can be accomplished with minimal disruption.
The process of pipe relining involves inserting a flexible liner into the damaged or old pipe, then pouring in a resin to form a new, strong and durable pipe within the old one. Pipe relining is a cost-effective and long-lasting solution to damaged, corroded or built-up pipes that can improve water flow and be accomplished without the need for trenches or the environmental impact often associated with excavation repairs.
Patch repairs are targeted to address localised damage to pipes. This is a cost-effective solution for damages that are focused on a specific area or issue, and requires minimal disruption to the property. A patch job will involve careful CCTV diagnostics and blockage or damage location, cleaning as necessary to remove any debris or build up and then using a patch kit to target the specific problem area.
Full pipe relining can often be accomplished without the need for excavation, although some more complex issues will require manual replacement of pipe sections where trench work is required. A full reline involves inserting a flexible liner into the pipes (after diagnostics and cleaning), which is inflated to create a snug fit against the original pipe. Specialised resin is then poured into the liner, essentially creating a brand-new pipe within the original one. This is an ideal solution for longer sections of pipe with widespread damage, providing a robust and durable solution.
SXP handles small-scale pipe relining jobs (up to 1 metre) using efficient patching kits designed to address localised issues. Our patch solution offers a fast and low-disruption way to repair damaged pipes without the need for full excavation.
We partner with specialists in full relining jobs, ensuring that, where needed, your full pipe relining is carried out by the best in the field. Where our diagnostics uncover issues that require full relining, we’ll advise you on the best way forward and try to find solutions that work for your budget while avoiding dig-ups whenever possible.
