What’s the Warranty on Relined Pipes?

Introduction to Pipe Relining Warranties

Pipe relining efficiently repairs pipes without digging, as a resin-soaked liner creates a new pipe inside the old one.

A major advantage of pipe relining is the strong product and workmanship warranty offered by reputable providers. Beecroft Plumbing are specialists when it comes to dependable pipe relining warranties in the Sydney metro area.

Typical pipe relining warranties can cover various aspects and time periods, usually around 10-50 years. The exact terms and conditions can vary quite a bit depending on the company performing the work. Factors like the pipe materials used, resin types, curing methods and workmanship all play a role.

In this guide, we’ll delve into common pipe relining warranty details to be aware of if considering this service for your home or business:

Standard Warranty Terms for Relined Pipes

When it comes to warranties for relined pipes, a few key aspects are typically covered in the terms and conditions:

• Most companies provide warranties between 10-50 years on labour and materials.
• The warranty usually specifies what defects are covered, such as leaks, blockages, cracks, detachment issues or resin separation.
• Limitations often apply in terms of consequential damages - The warranty typically covers repairs solely of the relined pipe.
• Repurposing the relined sewer line beyond its intended use, leading to defects, can invalidate the warranty.
• There are often requirements around maintenance, inspections and noticing the company of any issues in order to make a claim.

Warranty terms vary significantly between service providers. Key factors that influence the differences include:

• The type of resins and liners used - epoxy, polyurethane, UV cured or steam cured all have different lifespans.
• The company that does pipe relining, their workmanship quality and curing processes make a big difference to longevity.
• Longer warranties often apply for straight pipe sections compared to bends or junctions.

When comparing drain warranties, prioritise expertise and experience beyond just the warranty duration. Beecroft Plumbing offer robust 50 year warranties on relined pipes for residential jobs backed by over 10 years in the local industry.

Warranty Duration

When it comes to relined pipe warranties, the durations can vary quite a bit but generally fall into two categories:

Installation Warranties

The labour workmanship is usually guaranteed for around 10 years by the plumbing company performing the pipe relining.

This covers any defects that occur due to problems with the installation and curing methods used by the technicians on your drain pipe.

Beecroft Plumbing offer 10 year workmanship warranties on all residential pipe relining jobs.

Product Warranties

The pipe lining materials and resins come with product warranties that range from 20 years up to 50 years in some premium cases.

With a 50-year product warranty, there’s no need to settle for anything less than the industry gold standard, which is currently offered.

Beecroft Plumbing takes pride in utilising high-grade epoxy resins and Mythic liners that are backed by 50 year manufacturer product warranties on pipe relining for houses.

The warranties apply to pipe relining jobs done for residential customers when the relined pipes are used under normal household conditions.

We confidently endorse our warranty durations, backed by extensive testing of our pipe lining materials and proven specialist plumbing workmanship.
