Delaying pipe relining increases chances of total pipe failure, sewer line excavation, landscaping costs and more expensive repairs. Get affordable trenchless pipe relining installed - lasts 20+ years.
Pipe relining is a trenchless method of repairing damaged pipes without having to dig them up. It essentially creates a 'pipe within a pipe’ by coating the inside of the existing pipe with an epoxy resin. Postponing pipe relining allows for significant damage to accumulate in aging pipe systems, making it a critical issue for homeowners.
Delaying pipe relining can lead to a range of problems like backups, leaks and even collapsed pipes. At Marrickville Plumbing, we specialise in trenchless pipe relining for properties across Marrickville and wider Sydney.
Key indicators that your pipes require immediate attention are slow drainage, gurgling noises, unpleasant smells, and damp areas around pipes. Should you observe these signs, promptly contact Marrickville Plumbing to avert severe pipe failures. Our comprehensive pipe assessments and relining services can proficiently reinstate your plumbing’s integrity.
Postponing pipe relining results in your pipes sustaining increasing damage over time. Cracks and holes in the pipes grow larger, allowing debris, roots and groundwater to infiltrate at an increasing rate.
Neglecting repairs leads to heightened pipe corrosion and material degradation. Over time, sections of pipe may collapse completely, causing messy backups and water leaks. The longer you wait, the more extensive and expensive the repairs become.
Typical signs of significant pipe degradation due to postponement include persistent blockages, fractured pipes, extensive root invasion, and sewage spillage in the ground. At this point, repairs can be exorbitantly pricey and labor-intensive. Undertake prompt pipe maintenance to prevent plumbing crises.
The experts at Marrickville Plumbing have seen firsthand how small pipe issues can escalate when left unchecked. Schedule an inspection so we can assess your pipes and advise you on the best solution, whether it’s relining, repair or replacement.
Unchecked leaking pipes can culminate in significant water damage and flooding. Minor leaks, such as those from fractured joints or corroded holes, can progressively soak walls, floors, and foundations.
Households often face hefty bills for mending water-soaked drywall and distorted floorboards. Extreme scenarios with foundational problems may compromise a home’s stability. Additionally, roof leaks can spoil ceilings and foster mould proliferation.
A case involved a diminutive leak in an aged copper pipe concealed within a wall, gradually dripping water into the cavity and subfloor unnoticed. When the residents realised the problem due to softened floorboards, the repair expenses exceeded $15,000.
Early detection of issues via pipe inspection and relining can more effectively thwart the onset of leaks. Don’t delay action until substantial flood damage or pipe collapse occurs.
The longer pipe issues are ignored, the more repair costs tend to compound over time. Studies show that fixing problems early on with preventative maintenance like pipe relining saves a significant amount of money down the track.
The expense for relining pipes with early signs of wear may be approximately $2,000-3,000. However, neglecting them, resulting in further deterioration, could incur costs of $10,000-15,000 for comprehensive repairs later. In extreme cases, complete pipe replacements have cost clients more than $25,000.
Other factors also drive up costs over time. As pipes crack and leak, surrounding structures often get damaged too, necessitating additional repairs. There is also further destruction to the pipe itself as cracks widen, tree roots infiltrate and sections collapse.
Deteriorating pipes pose serious safety hazards that should not be ignored. As pipes corrode, crack and leak over time, they create major risks including:
By delaying essential pipe relining, these risks only escalate as more extensive damage occurs, but timely intervention can help alleviate these issues. Severe pipe deterioration can even make buildings unsafe to occupy. Prioritising repairs ensures plumbing remains secure and protects the health of your family and home.
Our skilled technicians at Marrickville Plumbing are qualified to identify and rectify any hazardous flaws in your pipe system. We use advanced CCTV inspections to detect leaks and other damage early on. Schedule an assessment so we can make your pipes safe again.
The lifespan of pipes varies depending on the material. For example, properly maintained copper pipes can last 50-70 years. PVC pipes have a lifespan around 80 years. However, older clay pipes typically need repairs or replacement after 60-75 years.
Clay pipes have a higher failure rate as they are brittle and prone to cracks from soil movement and root infiltration. Acidic drain water also erodes the material over decades of use. Tree roots exploiting cracks accelerate deterioration by clogging and expanding pipe joints.
Soil type, weather extremities, groundwater impact, and installation quality also influence any pipe material’s durability. Nevertheless, even properly installed pipes have finite lifespans. Regular assessments can ascertain their condition and remaining serviceability.
Clay pipes become increasingly problematic as they age past 60-75 years. The brittle material is vulnerable to cracking from ground movement, root growth and erosion from drain water. Cracks then allow infiltration of roots and debris into the drain pipe, which accelerate deterioration.
Common issues seen in ageing clay pipes include:
If your old clay pipes show any signs of damage like slowed drains, Marrickville Plumbing recommends pipe relining. We can thoroughly inspect the pipes and provide trenchless relining to reinforce the ageing system, preventing further issues.
Beyond the issues with aging clay pipes, various common pipe problems can arise:
These prevalent pipe issues tend to worsen if left unattended over an extended period.

Pipe relining presents a dependable method for rectifying the sundry complications associated with pipe decay. This trenchless technique constructs a new lining within the current pipe by applying a robust epoxy resin to interior surfaces.
Pipe relining is favoured by plumbers due to its speed, efficacy, and cost-effectiveness relative to full replacement. The process takes just one to two days with minimal disruption to your property. The resin forms a strong bond with aging pipes, enhancing their strength and stability, significantly prolonging their lifespan.
Relining stops leaks, resolves drainage issues, and prevents additional pipe damage with no need for trench digging or concrete breaking. In cases where pipes are too far gone, partial relining can be used in conjunction with targeted pipe repairs or replacement.
The team at Marrickville Plumbing uses advanced CCTV pipe inspection which allows us to assess the true extent of damage. From there, we advise you on suitable solutions from our trenchless pipe relining services through to full system upgrades if needed.
