Pipe Relining

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
