Each time it rained the water would flood and get away slowly to the street.

Our technicians attended and after assessing the access on the site they used the camera to conduct a CCTV survey of the pipe to see if they could identify what was causing the blockage. Their camera saw a coloured object in the pipe. They then used their high pressure jetblaster to clear the blockage from the pipe.

What they discovered were plastic balls in the pipe 5 or 6 of them that were choking up the stormwater pipe. The clients children had been playing a game of hide the toy only that they failed to seek and retrieve them!

Our client was amused and happy that the issue was resolved and he no longer had blocked pipes.

Below is a photo of what was removed from the pipe.

Broken sewer pipes or stormwater pipes can be fixed using the innovative pipe relining Technology.

Do you have a broken sewer pipe or stormwater pipe that runs under your concrete driveway, bathroom, house, pergola, established garden or a place that is difficult to access?

Have you been advised that it will all have to be dug up, your property damaged and then have the pipes replaced and then you are left restoring the trail of destruction?

This type of repair is a thing of the past! Pipe relining is an up and coming method of pipe repair that is being regularly used all over the world to repair damaged pipes.

Using this method means that the pipe can be repaired by using existing inspection openings within the property to repair the broken or old sections of pipe without the need for messy and costly excavation and is also environmentally friendly.

Aqua King uses the Nuflow product and technology, it is the best product on the market and even the manufacturer provides a 50year warranty against tree root intrusion, there is no other company that offers this length of warranty.

The reason such a long warranty is provided by the manufacturer is that epoxy resin has a life expectancy of over 100 years. Epoxy resin itself is used in the construction of fuel tanks for aeroplanes so this gives you an idea on just how strong and durable the product is.

Pipe relining technology has been used for well over 40 years, the Nuflow product and lining system has been used in Europe for over 20 years and here in Australia for over 12 years.

The Process:

The relining process begins with an initial CCTV survey of the internals of the sewer pipe and a subsequent site survey to determine the access into the pipe. From this the technician is able to identify the repairs that need to be undertaken and the process needing to be used to fix the pipes.

The next step is to clear and remove all of the debris from the host pipe in order to ensure that the resin sticks and seals to the host pipe and has a smooth finish.

The next step is the preparation of the lining material.

In this step the felt liners are cut to size and are impregnated with a 2 part epoxy resin, a rubber bladder is then inserted into the liner wound up tightly and then positioned into place via the inspection openings, when the position is correct the bladder is inflated and holds pressure until the resin goes off. Once the resin has cured the bladder is removed and you are left with a new structural pipe within the old pipe. This pipe now has a 50 year manufacturer warranty.

The post DIGGING UP YOUR PROPERTY TO FIX YOUR PIPES IS A THING OF THE PAST! appeared first on Aqua King.

Upon the inspection of this sewer line we found that the pipes were so severely damaged that over the years parts of the pipe had come away and the dirt around the pipe had collapsed and was making its way into the pipe. There was no longer the correct fall within the pipe and the sewerage and matter would continue to pool and block up this sewer line.

Unfortunately for these residents their only option now is to excavate and replace the pipes. This itself is a mammoth task, the bathrooms in 2 units need to have their tiles ripped up, their concrete slabs broken and excavated in order to get to the old pipes and replace them. Part of the driveway also needs to be excavated. This is WEEKS worth of work not to mention a highly costly exercise, intrusive and disruptive.

If they had of identified these issues earlier on and chosen to repair them, our pipe relining solution would have saved them this unsightly expense and inconvenience.

We see this type of issue often where the pipes are not well maintained and homeowners live in hope that the problem will magically go away and resolve itself. These issues do not ever resolve themselves, they just get worse over time and the longer it is left the less options you will leave for yourself.

If the pipes are so badly damaged and the earth eventually collapses in on the pipe the only option you have at that point is to EXCAVATE and replace the pipes.

Our advice is to get your pipes regularly checked and maintained and if the condition is beginning to worsen then this is the time that you should look at a long term solution why there are still options such as Pipe Relining available to you.

If you have a sewer pipe that you have had issues with in the past contact us and arrange a CCTV survey and we can give you our advice on the health of your pipe and provide you with an action plan and some long term solutions.
