What we do

Our Pipe Relining Services in the Local Area

We cover every stage of the relining job, from the first camera inspection through to the cured-in-place liner and the final flow test. The full range of relining work our licensed team takes on is set out below:

Trenchless Pipe Relining

A resin-coated liner is inserted through an existing access point, inflated, and cured in place to form a new structural pipe inside the old one, no digging required.

CCTV Inspection

HD camera inspection pinpoints the exact crack, collapse, or root intrusion in the line, so you only pay to reline the section that genuinely needs the work.

Cracked or Collapsed Repair

We profile, clear, and line cracked earthenware, PVC, and partly collapsed drains to restore full structural integrity, sidestepping the cost and mess of underground pipe replacement.

Tree-Root Intrusion Repair

Roots from established gardens are cut back inside the line first, then the sealed liner closes off every joint so new growth cannot get back into the drain again.

Stormwater Pipe Relining

For stormwater runs that flood in heavy rain, we camera-check, clear, and line the pipe end-to-end, restoring reliable flow without trenching across lawns, paths, or driveways.

Why it matters

Why Pipe Relining Choice Matters for Older Inner-North Homes

For an older home's drainage, relining is one of the highest-impact calls you can make on the property. The choice between digging the line out or lining it in place has real financial and practical consequences:

Excavation costs more than relining on most residential jobs
The new liner is smoother, so flow rate often improves afterwards
A lined pipe extends the service life of the existing run
Lawns, gardens, driveways, and floors stay intact during the work
Clay drainage common across older inner-north streets suits relining

Common faults

Common Pipe Relining Jobs We Handle

Most of the relining work around here follows predictable patterns, driven by the post-war Housing Trust build-out, the original clay drainage, and the mature street trees on the older avenues. The recurring cases we see are:

Cracked clay sewer lines from the post-war build-out

Sewer and stormwater connections laid through the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s used earthenware clay, and those old runs now crack at the joints and lose grade as the ground shifts beneath them.

Tree-root intrusion in older avenues

Mature street trees and long-established backyards along Florence Avenue, Audrey Avenue and the Housing Trust streets push fine roots into every gap in the old clay drains, causing recurring blockages.

Offset joints under reactive-clay ground

A century of reactive-clay soil movement under the inter-war and post-war cottages drives joints out of line, so flow slows and waste catches at every offset. Relining seals the run end-to-end.

Stormwater failures on original allotments

Stormwater pipework on the original Housing Trust blocks regularly pools and overflows after heavy rain. We camera the line, clear it, then line it to restore reliable run-off.

Drain Diagnosis

Our team takes the brief by phone, then on-site we run an HD CCTV camera through the affected line to map the exact location, length, and cause of the damage.

Upfront Quote

You get Fixed Upfront Pricing for the relining work plus any access or clearing required, before we lift a tool. No hourly rates, no surprise add-ons, no bill shock on completion.

Professional Relining

Once the quote is accepted, we clear the line, install the resin-coated liner through an existing access point, inflate it, and cure it in place to form a structural pipe within the old.

Testing and Handover

We flow water through the restored line, check every connected fixture, walk you through the camera footage of the finished job, and confirm your Lifetime Labour Warranty cover.

FAQs

Pipe Relining FAQs

These are the questions we hear most from homeowners weighing up relining for an older drain. The short answers we give on every quote call are below:

Aberfoyle Park plumber ready to answer your questions

How does pipe relining pricing work?

We use Fixed Upfront Pricing. After a CCTV inspection of the damaged line, you get a quoted price before any work starts, so there are no hourly rates and no surprises.

How long does a pipe relining job take?

Most residential pipe relining jobs are completed in a single day. The damaged section is cleaned, lined with a resin-coated sleeve, cured in place, and back in service same-day.

What warranty applies to pipe relining work?

Our pipe relining workmanship is backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty. If our installation labour fails, our team returns and fixes it at no cost for as long as you own the home.

Do I need to dig up the yard for pipe relining?

No. Pipe relining is trenchless, so lawns, driveways, and floors stay intact. The new liner is inserted through an existing access point and cured in place inside the old pipe.

Do I need council approval for pipe relining?

Most residential pipe relining work does not require council approval, as it repairs an existing pipe rather than creating a new connection. Any approvals needed will be flagged before we quote.

Can pipe relining fix cracked clay drains in older Blair Athol homes?

Yes. The post-war clay sewers under most original Housing Trust blocks are exactly what relining is built for. Cracks and offset joints are sealed without lifting the yard.
