Pipeline Reroute

Redirecting or changing the path of an existing pipeline

In the case of leaking or burst underground or pipes installed in walls,it is sometimes a better option to reroute water pipelines instead of chopping out tiles that cannot be replaced ,concrete flooring that is expensive to resurface, etc. Undergound galvanised pipelines may also be severly corroded, and have had a couple of repairs on it, it is wiser to replace these lines in the longer term, which in many cases is easier and more economical to reroute the pipeline.
