How Pipe Relining Works

Our expert pipe relining process begins with a detailed CCTV drain inspection to pinpoint the exact location and extent of the damage. Once the issue is identified, we use a high-pressure water jet to thoroughly clean the inside of the old pipe, removing any built-up debris and tree roots. Next, a flexible, resin-saturated liner is carefully inserted into the damaged pipe. With the help of compressed air, this liner expands and molds to the interior of the pipe, conforming to its shape.

Once in place, the resin is cured using either hot water or UV light, creating a strong, hard lining within the old pipe. This forms a durable, joint-free surface that is often stronger than the original. The new lining effectively seals off any existing cracks and prevents future tree root intrusion and corrosion, ensuring a smooth flow. The result is a seamless, long-lasting solution that adds decades to your plumbing’s lifespan—all without the need for disruptive excavation. For a reliable, long-term pipe repair, it’s a job best left to the professionals at AP Plumbing.

Clear the Blockage
Before relining can begin, the pipe must be cleared. Using a high-pressure water jetter, our Service Today team removes any debris or buildup obstructing the damaged section.
Inspect the Damage
With advanced CCTV drain cameras, we thoroughly inspect your pipes to pinpoint and mark the exact area needing repair, readying it for relining.
Install the Liner
An epoxy-resin liner is inserted into the damaged area. Compressed air expands it to fit the pipe’s shape, and once cured, it forms a seamless new lining bonded to the old pipe.
Job Done
Within a few hours, the resin hardens and the reline is complete — leaving you with a strong, smooth, and fully restored pipe.
