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

Marrickville's brick bungalows sit on clay sewer laid between the wars, and most of it has cracked joints and root intrusion by now. Blocks here are generally open enough that excavation is possible, so the question is genuinely one of cost and disruption rather than access.

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

Finding the fault: tree roots filling a clay sewer in Penrith, found on CCTV. That job was cleared with the jet blaster, not relined.

The same line: roots coming through a dislodged joint. Open joints like this are what a liner is designed to seal.

More roots growing into the old clay pipe, through dislodged joints and hairline cracks. The camera shows where a pipe is damaged before anyone quotes a repair.

Earthenware laid in the 1920s and 30s has settled, cracked and taken on roots. A liner seals the whole run rather than repairing one joint and waiting for the next.

Most of these homes have had decades of landscaping, paving and extensions built over the original line. Reinstating that is usually the larger part of an excavation bill.

Where both run through a small back yard, digging for one risks the other. Relining avoids opening ground near a line you were not intending to touch.

Fixed price quoted before we start. $0 call-out fee.

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

Usually, once reinstatement is counted — the paving, lawn or concrete that has to go back. On a completely open run with nothing over it, excavation can work out similar, and we will say so.

Yes. The method is the same and it suits stormwater lines that have cracked or been invaded by roots.

Most residential sections are done in a day: inspect, jet the line clean, install the liner, re-inspect before we leave.
