Trusted Pipe Relining Specialists for Older Local Homes

We've been relining drains across the southern Adelaide suburbs for a decade.

What we do

Our Pipe Relining Services

We cover every stage of the relining job, from the first camera inspection through to the cured-in-place liner and the final flow test. The full scope of trenchless work we handle is set out below:

CCTV Inspection

HD camera inspection pinpoints the exact crack, collapse, or root intrusion in the drain line, so you only pay to reline the section that genuinely needs it on a quoted price.

Trenchless Pipe Relining

A resin-coated liner is inserted through an existing access point, inflated, and cured in place to form a new structural pipe inside the old line, with no digging required.

Cracked Pipe Repair

Cracked clay, earthenware, and PVC drain lines under older homes are profiled, cleared, and lined to restore full structural integrity without removing or replacing the existing pipework on site.

Collapsed Pipe Restoration

Where a section of drain has partially collapsed, the line is cleared, profiled, and lined to bring reliable flow back without the disruption and cost of full underground excavation work.

Tree-Root Intrusion Repair

Roots from mature native and exotic gardens are cut back inside the line first, then the sealed liner closes off every joint so new growth cannot get back into the drain.

Stormwater Pipe Relining

For stormwater runs that flood in heavy rain, we camera-check, clear, and line the pipe end-to-end, restoring reliable flow without trenching across lawns, paths, driveways, or paving.

Why it matters

Why Pipe Relining Choice Matters for Hills Homes

Pipe relining is one of the highest-impact decisions you can make on an older home's drainage system. The call between full excavation and a cured-in-place liner carries real financial and practical consequences for the property:

  • Excavation costs more than relining on most residential jobs
  • The new liner is smoother, so flow rate often improves afterwards
  • A lined pipe adds many years of service life to the existing run
  • Lawns, gardens, driveways, and floors stay intact during the work
  • Earthenware clay drains common in the area are well suited to relining
Common faults

Common Pipe Relining Jobs We Handle Locally

A lot of the relining work around here follows predictable patterns, driven by the age of the local housing stock, the heavily treed blocks backing onto Belair National Park, and the sloping hills terrain underfoot:

01

Clay drainage cracking at the joints

The pre-war and mid-century sections of the suburb were originally drained with earthenware clay sewer and stormwater lines, and on the older streets those joints are a steady source of blockages and partial collapses ready for relining.

02

Tree-root intrusion from mature gardens

This is one of the most heavily vegetated parts of the Mitcham hills, with mature native and exotic root systems regularly finding drain joints under driveways, lawns, and side paths around the older blocks.

03

Failed stormwater runs on slope blocks

Most local blocks sit on the southern foothills, where steep driveways and sloping yards demand carefully set stormwater falls. Lines that crack, shift, or sag over the decades are relined to restore proper flow off the property.

04

Cracked drains under hillside additions

Decades of soil movement on hillside blocks shifts older drain runs under back additions and side extensions. Hairline cracks and offset joints are sealed end-to-end with a cured-in-place liner.

Our process

How Our Pipe Relining Process Works

We've set the relining process up to be predictable and tidy for the homeowner. From the first phone call through to the cured liner, here is exactly what to expect on every job we book:

1

Drain Diagnosis

Our team takes the brief by phone, then on-site we run an HD CCTV camera through the affected line to map the exact location, length, and cause of the damage.

2

Upfront Quote

You get a Fixed Upfront Price for the relining work plus any clearing or access required, before we lift a tool. No hourly rates, no surprise add-ons, no bill shock on completion.

3

Professional Relining

Once the quote is accepted, we clear the line, install the resin-coated liner through an existing access point, inflate it, and cure it in place to form a structural pipe within the old.

4

Testing and Handover

We flow water through the restored line, check every connected fixture, walk you through the camera footage of the finished job, and confirm your Lifetime Labour Warranty cover.

FAQs

Pipe Relining FAQs

These are the questions we hear most often from homeowners weighing up relining for an older drain. The short answers we give on every quote call are below:

How does pipe relining pricing work?

We use Fixed Upfront Pricing. After a CCTV inspection of the damaged line, you get a quoted price in writing before any work starts, so there are no hourly rates and no surprise charges.

How long does a pipe relining job take?

Most residential pipe relining jobs are completed in a single day. The damaged section is cleaned, lined with a resin-coated sleeve, cured in place, and back in service the same day.

What warranty applies to pipe relining work?

Our pipe relining workmanship is backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty. If our installation labour fails, our team returns and fixes it at no cost for as long as you own the home.

Do I need to dig up my garden for pipe relining?

No. Pipe relining is trenchless, so lawns, driveways, and floors stay intact. The new liner is inserted through an existing access point and cured in place inside the old pipe.

Do I need council approval for pipe relining?

Most residential pipe relining work does not need council approval, since it repairs an existing pipe rather than creating a new connection. Any approvals required will be flagged before we quote.

Is pipe relining suitable for the old clay drains in Belair?

Yes. Relining is ideal for the earthenware clay sewer and stormwater lines that drain Belair's older cottages and mid-century homes. Cracked joints and root-intruded sections are sealed without excavating the yard.
