Pipe Relining

Pipe replacement involves plumbers digging trenches and removing anything above the ground to access the pipe and replace the pipe. Whereas pipe relining only requires a small access point (e.g. one square metre) to repair the pipe from the inside out.

Depending on the situation the pros and cons of each need to be considered.
