Pipe Relining / Lane Cove

Pipe Relining Lane Cove

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

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

Lane Cove has heavier root intrusion than almost anywhere we work — mature bushland trees over drainage a century old. Relining here is less about avoiding a trench and more about ending a problem that clearing simply will not end.

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

Clearing a root-invaded line in Lane Cove rarely holds more than a season or two. A liner has no joints for roots to enter, which is the only permanent answer short of replacement.

Removing the tree is the alternative fix and usually not one anyone wants. Relining lets the tree stay and the drain work.

Established native gardens on ground falling toward the river. Excavation is disruptive and reinstatement is slow.

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

No. A relined section presents no joints for roots to enter, so the tree and the drain can coexist. That is usually the outcome people want.

Decades. A liner is rated well beyond the remaining life of the clay around it.

More up front and less over five years if you are clearing annually. We will show you the camera footage so you can judge which you are actually facing.
