Pipe Relining / Hunters Hill

Pipe Relining Hunters Hill

Repair a cracked or root-damaged drain in Hunters Hill without digging it up — inspected first, fixed price before we start.

$0 call-out fee — any hour, any day · Available 24/7

Hunters Hill has some of the oldest drainage still in service in Sydney, sitting under some of its most protected buildings. Between heritage controls and shallow sandstone, digging up a damaged line here is genuinely difficult — which makes relining less a preference than the practical option.

The same job on camera: roots through a joint at 12.59 m. We locate the fault before we quote the fix.

Much of the suburb is heritage-listed or in a conservation area. Repairing a pipe from the inside avoids ground disturbance near protected structures and the approvals that come with it.

Drainage laid in the 1800s has cracked joints and long-established root intrusion throughout. Relining seals a whole run rather than chasing one joint at a time.

Sandstone close to the surface and gardens as old as the houses. Both make excavation slow, and both are avoided entirely by working within the pipe.

Typical Cost

From $500 per metre (no-dig pipe repair)

How It Works

01

We camera your drain to assess the damage and confirm relining is the right solution.

02

We jet blast the pipe to remove roots, debris, and build-up before lining.

03

A resin-impregnated liner is inserted and inflated, then cured in place — typically within hours.

04

We camera the pipe again to confirm the lining is smooth, sealed, and flowing freely.

Common Questions

In most cases yes, provided the line is still structurally continuous. Where a section has collapsed it needs excavating, and the camera footage shows which you have.

For relining, generally not — there is no excavation. For any section that does need digging near a heritage structure we will tell you upfront what is required.

In a suburb with housing this old, yes. Finding a collapsed section after the bathroom is tiled is considerably more expensive than finding it beforehand.
