Technology and Materials Used to Reline Complex Pipes
Baulkham Hills Plumbing employs the sophisticated Cured-In-Place Pipe (CIPP) relining technology to rehabilitate drain pipes with challenging angles, a widely adopted industry practice. This trenchless method involves inserting a flexible tubular liner made of felt or glass fibre fabric soaked in thermosetting epoxy resin into the damaged pipe.
Using hot water or steam, which then cures the epoxy resin, Secures the liner, perfectly forming it to fit the existing pipe’s interior contours. Once cured, the liner hardens to form a new, seamless and jointless pipe within the existing structure, boasting the same strength and durability as new piping.
The CIPP process ensures the liner is securely bonded to the pipe, revitalising even the most deteriorated conditions. Our expert plumbers can accommodate various types pipe materials including PVC, clay, cast iron concrete, and galvanised steel when relining, making it an extremely versatile trenchless rehabilitation method.
The key benefits of Baulkham Hills Plumbing’s CIPP technology for pipe relining are:
- Minimal disruption to property, as no excavation is required
- Effortlessly tackles bends, angles, gaps and obstructions
- Lasts 50+ years with proper maintenance
- A cost-effective alternative to traditional methods
- Robotic cutters employ precision navigation through intricate pipe networks

Pull-in-Place vs Inversion Pipe Lining Applications
For relining complex pipes, Baulkham Hills Plumbing provides both pull-in-place and inversion methods, selected based on site conditions and the pipe’s configuration:
Pull-in-Place Relining
This trenchless technique involves using a winch to pull a CIPP liner, saturated with high-quality epoxy, directly into a damaged pipe through access points like manholes. As the liner cures in place, it forms a durable, new seamless conduit.
Pull-in-place relining allows navigating up to 90° bends and is preferable when:
- Availability of inspection points for liner insertion
- Long pipe sections need rehabilitation
- 45° and 90° angles make inversion difficult
Inversion Pipe Relining
In the inversion method, we turn an epoxy liner inside out into the damaged pipe using water or air pressure. As the resin-saturated liner expands to the pipe walls and cures, it forms a smooth, jointless interior.
Key benefits of inversion relining are:
- No need for entry/exit points
- Copes well with smaller diameter pipes
- Negotiates multiple bends
To determine which trenchless method suits your Baulkham Hills property, call us at 1300 349 338. Our experts handle the entire pipe rehabilitation process with precision.
Pipe Relining Through 45 and 90 Degree Bends
When relining pipes with 45 or 90 degree bends, precision is paramount, and cctv drain inspections are a crucial part of the process. We commence with a comprehensive CCTV camera inspection of your pipes to assess their layout and condition.
We then custom-fit flexible epoxy or polyester liners impregnated with thermosetting resin to match the exact specifications of your piping. These liners can contour and conform to complex angles ranging from 10 to 90 degrees during installation.
The cured and hardened liner creates a robust, jointless barrier, smoothing sharp bends and curvatures, essentially forming a new seamless pipe. This results in improved water flow rates and enhanced hydraulic efficiency in your sewer lines.
At Baulkham Hills Plumbing, we have the tools and in-house expertise to reline all common pipe materials through multi-bend configurations. For a professional quote, contact us on 1300 349 338.
