No Dig pipe relining is an alternative to pipe replacement with minimal visual ground disruption. Traditional dig and replace solutions involve excavating the existing drainage system to replace a damaged pipe. This is messy, noisy and time consuming. We reline from the surface, with minimal access required. No digging, no smashing of driveways, no mess and in half the time. Why wouldn't you reline?
