Compared to a drain replacement, relining is a faster and more cost-effective process. It requires minimal excavation and downtime for the water supply, allowing you to get on with the rest of the day and work to be done. That’s because drain relining uses cured resin to patch up and reinforce pipes instead of taking them out.
In contrast, drain replacement requires more excavation and extensive plumbing work. The entire process involves taking out old pipes and laying down new ones for longer-lasting function. Because this process involves more work, it also takes more time to complete. Plus, with underground pipes, plumbers may have to divert them from under the building.
Drain replacement involves a full, brand-new installation, which is best for ageing plumbing systems. However, not all plumbing repairs require such extensive work. In the case of minor damage, relining can be done to patch up small cracks, protecting the drains and extending their shelf life before a replacement is needed. And it’s not simply a short-term solution. In essence, relined drains can function optimally for years, providing reliable water supply and waste disposal function without forcing you to put up the cost of a complete plumbing overhaul right away.For more information about drain relining, contact Drain King Plumbers here, or give us a call at 833-983-5301.
