Pipe relining fixes gurgling bathroom drains

What Causes Gurgling Sounds in Drains

Gurgling sounds typically signal a blocked drain or air trapped in your drainage system, attributed to:

• Debris, fats, oils, wet wipes, and waste accumulation can clog pipes over time, causing blockages. As water attempts to pass through the narrowed opening, air bubbles can form, creating gurgling noises.
• Tree Root Invasion - A blocked sewer line might be the result of tree roots seeking moisture, leading to obstruction, cracks, and blockages.
• Improper venting - Gurgling may signal issues with vent pipes designed to equalise air pressure and allow wastewater to drain freely.
• Broken or misaligned drain pipe - If segments of drain pipes have come apart or settled, airflow problems arise leading to turbulence and strange sounds.

Identifying Drain Issues That Lead to Gurgling

Be alert for signs of a blocked drain like distinctive gurgling sounds, which can indicate underlying issues:

• Slow drainage - If water is draining slower than usual or starts pooling around drains, a partial blockage may exist within your sewer drain causing turbulence and odd noises.
• Foul odours - Bad smells emanating from drains suggest wastewater buildup and ventilation problems.
• Multiple affected drains - If there’s gurgling in all sinks, showers, and floor wastes, it might suggest issues with a main damaged pipe.
• Visible water backup - Water visibly rising in drain openings signals a significant clog or pipe damage.

At the first sign of drainage problems, contact Riverwood Plumbing to diagnose issues before they escalate. Utilising high-resolution CCTV drain cameras, our technicians inspect the interior condition of your system to accurately diagnose issues like back up running caused by tree roots, a broken pipe, or other structural faults.

Traditional Drain Repair Methods and Their Drawbacks

Traditional pipe replacement often involves disruptive yard excavation, unlike modern pipe relining techniques which require no such digging. These invasive methods can disrupt your daily life and damage your garden, driveways, and landscaped areas. There are fundamental drawbacks that one can use to compare conventional drain repairs, which include:

• Property damage - Extensive trench digging for pipe repair can significantly damage your landscaping, pathways, and driveways, necessitating restoration work.
• Plumbing Outages - Necessary suspension of hot water and sewer services during traditional repairs can inconvenience residents and businesses.
• Time consumption - Locating pipe faults, trenching by hand or machine then refilling and restoring sites is extremely laborious and slow.
• Traffic and access issues - Construction equipment and noise impacts local access and street usage during repairs.
• Environmental impact - Old pipes removed end up in landfill. Extensive digging also disturbs soil stability and vegetation.

Riverwood Plumbing offers a more innovative alternative: Pipe relining presents itself as a modern method to restore your drains without having to dig up your property. Our trenchless pipe lining technique eliminates need for excavating your property, steering clear of any unnecessary destruction, which makes it a very appealing option. Following a comprehensive drain inspection using CCTV cameras, your pipes we meticulously clean and then reinforce with robust epoxy resin, creating what functions effectively as new pipes snugly inside the existing ones. This swiftly restores functionality without digging, avoiding the mess and headaches of conventional drainage repairs.

How Pipe Relining Works to Address Gurgling Drains

The benefits of pipe relining are evident, offering an effective way to restore trenchless sewer drains and seal cracks within damaged pipes using epoxy resin. Here’s a breakdown of the pipe relining process:

1. A miniature CCTV camera inserted into your drains swiftly identifies any faults originating turbulence and gurgling sounds.
2. High-pressure water jetting efficiently clears accumulated debris from blocked pipes to ensure a clean surface, allowing unobstructed water flow.
3. A flexible epoxy coating is introduced into each pipe section, bonding securely to form a seamless, corrosion-resistant new pipe within the existing one.
4. The epoxy cures rock-hard, restoring strength and function while allowing wastewater to flow freely without catching and gurgling.
5. Unlike traditional replacement, relining fortifies drains and pipes, preventing future root re-entry as no gaps or joints exist for them to infiltrate.

Pipe relining, a no-dig solution, is appropriate for various drains, including stormwater pipes, effectively resolving drainage issues and ensuring secure sewer and septic systems. With minimal equipment necessary, this method is a convenient approach to reinstate pipes without being dug up, thereby preserving yards or driveways.

The Process Step-By-Step

Riverwood Plumbing’s methodical approach to pipe relining involves the use of industry-leading tools and techniques:

1. We start with a CCTV drain camera inspection, deploying advanced remote cameras to check the interior state of pipes and locate any faults that may be causing turbulence or gurgling sounds.
2. We locate all connection points and access chambers along the pipeline route to plan entry points for relining.
3. Any debris buildup causing a drain blockage is cleared away with high pressure water jet cleaning to prepare pipe walls.
4. Measurements are taken to custom cut epoxy relining tubes to suit your specific section of the existing pipe network.
5. The flexible epoxy resin tube is fed through access points then expanded and cured, relining your existing pipeline with a new rigid inner layer.
6. A follow-up CCTV inspection ensures a smooth, joint-free drainage system without gurgling, restored to full flow capacity.
