How Long Does Drain Re-Lining Last?

What Is Drain Re-Lining?

Drain re-lining is a no-dig method used to repair cracked or leaking pipes. A resin lining is inserted into the existing pipe, creating a tough new layer inside. It’s widely used across Bournemouth, Christchurch, and Poole because it avoids costly excavations.

How Long Does It Last?

With proper installation, drain re-lining can last 40–50 years — sometimes longer. This makes it just as durable as a brand-new pipe, but far less disruptive to install.

What Affects Its Lifespan?

1. Pipe Condition – the older or more damaged the pipe, the more careful preparation is required.

2. Type of Resin Used – high-quality epoxy resins last longer and withstand heavy usage.

3. Installation Quality – always use experienced professionals, not quick-fix solutions.

4. Soil and Tree Roots – areas like Canford Cliffs, Branksome, and Highcliffe have soil and root conditions that may need extra reinforcement.

Why It’s Cost-Effective

• No excavation means lower costs and less disruption.

• Prevents further collapse or leaks.

• Extends drain life for decades, avoiding repeated repairs.
