Broken drain pipe, Insurance claim

TranceNRG

Little bump..

Hi ladies/gents, the loss adjuster came today (seemed like a nice chap) and said the claim has been approved. Now I'm wondering whether to get the defective part of the pipe (about 8m) replaced or get the pipe relined? The costs are similar for the 2 options and money is not an issue anyway since the claim has been approved. Loss adjuster reckons it's up to me who I choose for the repairs and how I get it done (obviously within the allowed limit plus I have to show invoice).

Since there is nothing in the garden at the moment (my Landscape gardner cleared it and prepared for teh new lawn) digging is not an issue.

Is getting a plastic pipe for the defective part (it will have joins though) a better option than relining it (and no joints). I get a 10 year guarantee with the relining option.

Appreciate your input.

Edit - claim is for accidental damage and not subsidence
