Pipe replacement, as the name suggests, involves the removal of the damaged pipes and then replacing it with a brand new one.

What is the difference between pipe relining and replacement? 

Pipe replacement can be extremely invasive and disruptive.

The major difference between pipe relining and replacement is the procedure used to repair damaged pipes. Pipe relining involves a plumber inserting a liner into the existing pipe to seal off all the cracks and leaks. On the other hand, pipe replacement is when the plumber completely removes the damaged pipe and installs a brand new one. Although pipe replacement may sound simpler, pipe relining is often the preferred option especially for homes in Sydney, Bondi, Burwood, Five Dock, Croydon, Annandale, Enmore, and Mascot—as it’s less invasive and more cost-effective.
