The No-Dig Pipe Repair Experts
There’s nothing as inconvenient or as smelly as a blocked or broken drain. Aided by sophisticated CCTV camera, drain jetting and pipe relining technology, our Brisbane plumbers can solve the problem, with the minimum of fuss and disruption to your home or business.
What is Pipe Relining? Brisbane’s No-Dig Alternative
Pipe relining is a modern, trenchless technology that allows plumbers to repair pipes without needing to complete major earthworks that disrupt your Brisbane home or business. While it’s been a proven global success for decades, this no-dig system is a relatively modern alternative in the Australian market, offering a non-invasive way to restore your plumbing.
After a CCTV drain inspection to find the cause of the issue, a flexible tube-like lining is placed on the inside of the affected piping. Once in place, it’s inflated and then left to solidify, creating effectively a pipe within a pipe. The new lined pipe is often stronger than the original one, so you will get greater durability and longevity out of your plumbing system.
For the short-term, there are quick solutions like jet rodding, where pipe blockages are blasted out. While this removal technique fixes the blockage temporarily, it doesn’t resolve the underlying cause. Pipe relining fixes this problem entirely, sealing cracks and gaps where debris could otherwise find its way in. It’s a long-term drainage solution that means you won’t have to deal with the same blockage in a month’s time.
Should You Reline Pipes or Replace Them?
If you have pipes on your Brisbane property damaged by tree roots or cracks in the PVC, there are essentially two options to consider: relining or replacement.
But what is the best option for you?
Traditional pipe excavation might have once been the only way, but today pipe relining offers greater benefits for home and business owners.
- Cost: Pipe relining is generally cheaper than pipe replacement. You aren’t paying for heavy machinery or days of manual labour.
- Convenience: Relining pipes is a shorter process, which involves minimal excavation works. We focus only on the specific section that needs work and leave your property just as we found it.
- Longevity: A relined pipe is often more durable and long lasting than replacing the piping. Typically, the resin used in the lining material is stronger than standard PVC or clay piping.
- Landscaping: If your garden is your pride and joy, you’ll be glad to know pipe relining does not require major excavation. We only need a small access point to get to the affected pipe so your landscaping will stay exactly as it is.
When Replacement is Necessary
Pipe relining is not always the perfect fix. In some cases, a pipe or sewer line may be damaged beyond repair – often when the original pipe is too broken to hold the liner. We’ll use CCTV technology to assess the internal condition of your pipe first and provide expert advice on a drainage solution that will resolve the issue.
pipe relining vs pipe replacement excavation
Stormwater Pipe Relining Brisbane
Pipe relining is a quick and effective way to repair damaged stormwater pipes. This no-dig technique is ideal for blocked pipes caused by tree roots or when pipes are difficult to access.
Unlike pipe replacement, relining stormwater pipes is performed underground, with no risk of damaging the property or the pipes themselves. It’s an ideal drainage solution for heritage buildings, as it restores structural piping integrity without the need for destructive trench digging.
Sewer Pipe Relining Brisbane
During the process, our drain specialists will use a CCTV drain camera to precisely locate the damaged area and clear it of debris with water jetting. Our experts will then insert a resin-coated liner. This will cure in a few hours, providing a relined sewer pipe that is much stronger and should last up to 50 years. Sewer pipe relining is an effective solution that is significantly less disruptive than a full replacement of the pipe.

PIpe relining FAQs
Plumbers eel vs water jetters
Blocked drains can be a totally nightmare! The stinking smell, backing up water, slowly draining sinks, and gurgling toilets are just some of the signs of blocked drains. Luckily the drains can be cleared easily with the help of important tools in the arsenal of a plumber like a plumbers eel or water jetter. But which is better to clear a blocked drain?
The ideal method used to clear the drain depends on the cause of the blockage and its location.
Who is responsible for blocked drains?
To find out whose responsibility is it to repair blocked drains – property owner, council or tenant, a plumber should be called to identify the root cause and location of the blockage.
If the blocked drains are on your property, it’s your responsibility or your tenants.However, there are a lot of grey areas and there should be ample evidence to determine which party caused the damage.
If the blockage is outside your property, your local council is responsible.
Contact your local plumber, they can tell you who is responsible for the blocked drains and claim the expenses from the council if needed.
Pipe relining vs pipe patching
There is no one best way to fix a pipe and before your plumber would even consider pipe relining or pipe patching, we need to determine the cause of the problem itself. In some cases, blockages can be alleviated by the simple use of a high-pressure jet rodding. In order to repair a pipe with current advanced plumbing techniques, it really depends on the type and extent of the damage to the piping in question.
How much does it cost to unblock a drain?
Unblocking a drain is typically, straightforward and fast when you ask an expert like Brisbane Plumbing and Drainage.
In the early stages, like when you first notice a sink or bath is slow to drain, the idea of a full blockage can be worrying. Many home or property owners may try to ‘DIY’ the solution to keep costs down, but these types of fixes are normally temporary or not effective.
Even with the specialist equipment and experienced know-how you get by putting it in the hands of an expert, the cost is often a low-range three-digit price.
When should you call a plumber for a blocked drain?
When you ask a licensed, experienced plumber, they’ll tell you there are 4 basic warning signs to watch out for when professional help could just avert a total disaster that could cause a huge mess and cost you an arm and a leg.
First, watch out for that toilet. Is the waste draining away as it should?
Second, watch out for slow draining in other areas of the house, especially the kitchen, bathroom or other wet areas. Gurgling noises and foul smells are also a red flag to keep an eagle eye on. Once a blockage becomes complex, it can be too late – and then you’ll be needing a 24/7 emergency plumbing call-out and counting the damage in the thousands.
Is a blocked drain classed as an emergency?
A blocked drain can absolutely be an emergency, one that not only disrupts your life but can cost you thousands in repairs, and potentially even bring health impacts. After all, plumbing and drainage was one of the major advances of the 20th century that keeps our homes and bodies healthy and disease-free.
Luckily, Brisbane Plumbing and Drainage have an emergency plumbing team on call 24/7. A blockage can result in flooding or devastating leaks, and those situations can spiral out of control in a matter of seconds. With every passing second after that, you could be counting in the thousands of dollars.
Uncontrolled waste is also the perfect breeding ground for bacteria such as salmonella, which can be fatal for vulnerable people, and your problem could even spill beyond the bounds of your property. Generally, our rule is this: If it feels like a plumbing emergency, it most certainly IS a plumbing emergency – so don’t hesitate to call an expert.
