Pipe Relining/ Trenchless “no dig” technology - Cape Town

Are you having trouble with broken pipes or a blocked drain?
In the past, your only option would be to have them excavated. Today, the simple process of pipe relining is often the preferred option.​

With traditional trenching, you are usually required to pay a plumbing company to dig up the street or walls to remove the pipelines and replace them.

However, with pipe relining you can simply have them relined using a flexible tube coated with resin which is pulled into the damaged pipe and inflated. The resin then hardens, creating a pipe within a pipe.
This process typically involves digging just one access hole.



What is Pipe Relining?
Pipe Relining is a trenchless rehabilitation method used to repair existing pipelines. It is a jointless, seamless pipe lining within an existing pipe. This process does not require excavation to rehabilitate a pipeline that is either leaking or structurally compromised.



Trenchless “no dig” technology
Known as trenchless repair, old pipes (or their remnants) are usually left in place while a new pipe is simply formed or pulled inside. “When we replace the entire pipe,” he says, “it’s a much more disruptive process and doesn’t tend to have the longevity of a repair.” Trenchless technology has been around for decades but has gained popularity in recent years as contractors have become more adept at excavating in confined spaces. “It’s a technique that’s growing very rapidly,” he says.
