If a drain in Leichhardt has been cleared three times, relining is the conversation worth having. Mature gardens over century-old clay is the defining combination here, and it is the case relining exists for — the pipe is structurally there, but every joint is an open invitation.

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 works and then stops working. A liner has no joints to enter, so the cycle ends rather than resetting.

Decades of planting sit above the original drainage. The plumbing in an excavation is rarely the expensive part; putting the garden back is.

Deep blocks mean long drainage runs and more joints along them. Relining a whole section at once is more economic than chasing one failure at a time.

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

Almost certainly. Three clears in a few years means the cause is structural, and you are paying for the same problem repeatedly rather than fixing it once.

Slightly, but a liner is smooth where old earthenware is rough, so flow is generally as good or better than the pipe it replaced.

Then a liner has nothing to bond to and that section needs excavating. The camera shows this clearly and we will tell you before you commit to anything.
