One of the many frequently asked questions that our technicians are asked is ‘how do I know that pipe relining will fix my broken pipes?’. This is reasonable question – pipes are, after all, out of sight. Until there’s a really obvious problem most people can’t tell that there’s a problem at all when it comes to pipes.<\/p>\n
This article goes over the process of determining if pipe relining is the best option for your broken pipes, the materials and techniques we use and why we back our product with a 50-year warrantee.<\/p>\n
Nuflow technicians start by gathering basic building and plumbing related information including:<\/p>\n
Our technicians then determine plumbing access points and use a camera to inspect your pipes. Using camera equipment enables us to identify cracks, build ups, blockage and potential areas where failures may occur. During this process our technicians take notes to compile a detailed report on your pipes’ overall condition, areas of specific concern, and whether Nuflow’s pipe relining service is a viable option. In some cases, pipe replacement may be necessary<\/a>, especially in areas of severe deterioration.<\/p>\n We provide you with the footage and a full written report – so you know exactly what issues need to be addressed and how much repairs will cost.This inspection report is a valuable tool whether or not you decide to proceed with a major pipe reline or replacement program. It gives you an expert opinion on the condition of your pipes and can serve as a roadmap for future maintenance, repairs and upgrades. It will also provide better peace of mind.<\/p>\n Once you give us the go-ahead, we use high pressure water jets to clear the pipes in question and prepared them for relining. The process is then:<\/p>\n Our Blueline<\/a>\u00ae product is suited to non-pressure applications (drainage) such as storm water pipes, sewer pipes, trade waste pipes, waste systems, vertical drain stacks, vent systems, sanitary systems, industrial pipes, chemical pipes etc. It’s a structural solution.<\/p>\n For hot and cold potable water, grey water systems, compressed air systems, HVAC systems, Fire suppression systems, chemical piping, water mains (pressurised pipes), we use Redline\u00ae<\/a> . This is a coating solution only and non structural.<\/p>\n The process of relining these pipes is slightly different:<\/p>\n Nuflow has been providing pipe lining systems internationally since 1998<\/a> and offers solutions for repairing both pressurised and drainage piping systems which makes us unique in the industry.<\/p>\n Our original ‘sleeve within a sleeve’ patented method has been expanded, making it stronger than ever and a second patent added to enable the method and materials to address pipe bends and other difficult areas with a safe, clean and durable epoxy lining.<\/p>\n Our technicians undertake extensive, ongoing training in our methods and materials.<\/p>\n Nuflow’s patented pipe relining materials are manufactured in our own facilities within Australia and have been proven safe. Our epoxy lining passes the requirements of the AS\/NZ 4020:2005 standard which governs materials and equipment used to handle drinking water. That means water passing through newly-lined pipes meets safe drinking water standards<\/a>.<\/p>\n Our Redline\u00ae<\/a> epoxy lining has an estimated life expectancy of 100 years and is certified as safe:<\/p>\n Nuflow offers a 50-year written warranty on our Blueline\u00ae pipe relining product<\/a>.<\/p>\nThe pipe relining process<\/h2>\n
