What is pipe relining?

A permanent, trenchless solution to damaged pipes

Pipe relining repairs damaged pipes by inserting a resin-saturated liner into the existing pipe. Once cured, this creates a new, seamless pipe within the old one—without any digging. The epoxy resin bonds to the pipe walls, sealing cracks and preventing root intrusion for 50+ years.

The relining process

How we fix your pipes without digging

1

Camera inspection

We run a CCTV camera through your pipes to locate damage, measure pipe diameter, and assess what repairs are needed. You get video footage showing exactly what's wrong.

  • Identify all cracks and damage points
  • Measure pipe dimensions accurately
  • Provide detailed quote based on findings
2

Clean the pipe

High-pressure water jetting removes debris, scale, and roots. This ensures the epoxy liner bonds properly to the pipe walls.

  • Remove all blockages and buildup
  • Cut out invasive tree roots
  • Prepare surface for liner adhesion
3

Insert the liner

A flexible, resin-saturated liner is pulled or pushed through the pipe using existing access points. No digging required.

  • Custom-sized liner for your pipe
  • Inserted via gully trap or inspection point
  • Positioned to cover damaged sections
4

Cure and finish

The liner is inflated and cured using hot water, steam, or UV light. Within hours it hardens into a new pipe. We cut out junctions and test flow.

  • Liner cures in 2-4 hours
  • Robotic cutter reinstates junctions
  • Final camera inspection confirms quality

When to consider pipe relining

Signs your pipes need permanent repair

Recurring blockages

If the same drain keeps blocking despite regular clearing, there's likely damage or root intrusion. Relining fixes the underlying problem permanently.

Solution: Relining seals cracks and creates smooth interior walls that prevent future blockages.

Tree root invasion

Roots enter through cracks and joints, expanding until they completely block the pipe. Cutting them out is temporary—they'll return.

Solution: Seamless relined pipe has no entry points for roots to penetrate.

Cracked or broken pipes

Camera inspection reveals cracks, fractures, or separated joints. These will worsen over time and may cause property damage.

Solution: Relining creates structurally sound new pipe without excavation.

Slow draining fixtures

Persistent slow drainage often indicates partial pipe collapse, heavy scaling, or misaligned joints restricting flow.

Solution: Relining restores full pipe diameter and creates smooth flow.

Avoiding excavation

When pipes run under driveways, pools, gardens, or structures, traditional repair means expensive restoration work.

Solution: Relining accesses pipes through existing points—no property damage.

Future-proofing old pipes

Clay or cement pipes installed decades ago deteriorate over time. Relining extends their life by 50+ years.

Solution: Proactive relining prevents catastrophic failure and emergency repairs.

Why choose relining over replacement?

Permanent repair without the disruption

No excavation required

Keep your driveway, garden, and landscaping intact. We access pipes through existing inspection points.

Faster completion

Most jobs completed in 1-2 days vs weeks for traditional pipe replacement with excavation and restoration.

Cost-effective long term

No excavation, restoration, or landscaping costs. One permanent fix vs repeated clearing over years.

50+ year lifespan

Premium epoxy resin creates a corrosion-resistant pipe that outlasts traditional materials.

Improved flow

Smooth interior surface eliminates rough spots where debris accumulates, improving drainage performance.

Seamless result

No joints or seams means no entry points for roots or leaks. One continuous, watertight pipe.

Pipe relining FAQ

Common questions answered

How long does pipe relining last?
Premium epoxy pipe liners are designed to last 50+ years. They're corrosion-resistant, structurally sound, and create a seamless interior that prevents root intrusion. The resin we use meets Australian standards and comes with manufacturer warranties covering structural integrity.
Is relining cheaper than replacement?
Usually yes, especially when excavation costs are factored in. Traditional pipe replacement requires digging trenches, removing old pipes, installing new ones, and restoring your property (driveways, gardens, paving). Relining eliminates these costs by working through existing access points. The total project cost is typically 30-50% less than excavation and replacement.
Can all pipes be relined?
Most can. We can reline sewer pipes, stormwater drains, and junction pipes in diameters from 65mm to 300mm. The pipe needs to be accessible via inspection points and structurally stable enough to support the liner. Severely collapsed pipes may require partial excavation. Camera inspection determines if your pipes are suitable candidates.
How long does installation take?
Most residential relining projects are completed in 1-2 days. Day one typically involves camera inspection, high-pressure cleaning, and liner insertion. The liner cures in 2-4 hours, then we cut out junctions and perform final testing. Longer runs or complex pipe systems may require additional time.
Will relining reduce my pipe diameter?
Yes, but minimally. The liner is typically 3-6mm thick, reducing pipe diameter by about 10%. This slight reduction is offset by the smooth interior surface which actually improves flow compared to rough, damaged pipes with root intrusion and buildup. In practice, relined pipes often drain better than they did before.
Do you offer warranties?
Yes. We provide manufacturer warranties on the epoxy liner materials (typically 50 years structural) plus workmanship guarantees covering the installation quality. Specific warranty terms are provided in your quote and depend on the resin system used and project specifics.
What's the difference between economy and standard relining?
Both use the same installation process. Economy relining uses alternative resin formulations suitable for lower-risk applications and comes with shorter warranty periods. Standard relining uses premium epoxy resins with maximum durability and 50+ year warranties. We'll recommend which option suits your situation based on pipe condition, usage, and budget.
