Is relining right for you?

Signs Your Pipes Need Relining

Recurring blockages, slow drains, and sewage smells are often symptoms of damaged pipe structure — not just a surface blockage. Relining fixes the root cause permanently.

Recurring blocked drains despite regular clearing
Slow drainage throughout the property
Gurgling sounds from drains or toilets
Sewage smell inside or outside the home
Wet patches or sinkholes in the yard
Tree roots repeatedly entering drain lines
CCTV inspection showing cracks or joint failures

The process

How Pipe Relining Works

CCTV Inspection

We camera the drain to map the damage, confirm pipe diameter, and check that relining is suitable for your pipe condition.

High-Pressure Jetting

The drain is thoroughly cleaned with high-pressure water jetting to remove all debris, roots, and scale before lining.

Liner Preparation

A resin-saturated felt liner is cut to length and prepared. The liner is sized to your specific pipe diameter.

Inversion & Cure

The liner is inverted into the pipe using water or air pressure, then cured in place — either with ambient temperature or UV light.

Post-Reline Inspection

We camera the pipe again to confirm the liner has cured correctly, joints are sealed, and flow is restored.

Common questions

Pipe Relining FAQs

What is pipe relining?

Pipe relining (CIPP — Cured-In-Place Pipe) is a no-dig method of repairing damaged drain pipes from the inside. A resin-saturated liner is inserted into the existing pipe and cured in place, forming a new pipe within the old one — without excavation.

How long does a relined pipe last?

A properly installed CIPP liner has a design life of 50+ years. The cured resin is resistant to root intrusion, corrosion, and chemical attack — and is typically stronger than the original pipe.

Is pipe relining cheaper than excavation?

In most cases, yes — significantly. Excavation involves breaking concrete, digging, pipe replacement, backfill, and reinstatement of surfaces. Relining avoids all of that. The cost difference is even greater when the pipe runs under a driveway, slab, or landscaping.

Can all pipes be relined?

Most clay, PVC, concrete, and cast iron pipes can be relined. Pipes that are completely collapsed, have severe offset joints, or are too small in diameter may not be suitable. A CCTV inspection will confirm suitability before we quote.

How long does pipe relining take?

Most residential relining jobs are completed in a single day. Longer runs or complex access situations may take two days. We'll give you a clear timeline when we quote.

Will pipe relining fix tree root intrusion?

Yes. The cured liner seals all joints and cracks that roots enter through. Once relined, roots cannot re-enter the pipe. We clear all existing roots with high-pressure jetting before lining.
