Pipe Relining & Replacement
Repair Damaged Pipes With Less Digging Where Suitable
Damaged underground pipes do not always need to be completely excavated and replaced. Blocked Drain Life Saver provides pipe relining and trenchless drain repair options where the condition and location of the pipe make these methods suitable.
What Is Pipe Relining & Trenchless Drain Repair?
Pipe relining is a method of repairing a damaged pipe from within, rather than replacing the entire section through traditional excavation. A specialised liner is installed inside the existing pipe to create a new pipe within the damaged section.
Trenchless drain repairs use techniques designed to minimise excavation when repairing suitable underground drainage systems. Depending on the condition of the existing pipe, these methods may reduce the amount of digging and disruption required.
Pipe relining and trenchless repairs are not suitable for every drainage problem. The pipe needs to be assessed to determine its condition, size, access and suitability for the proposed repair method.
Blocked Drain Life Saver can use CCTV drain inspection and electronic locating equipment to investigate damaged pipework before discussing your options. If relining or trenchless repair is suitable, we'll explain what is involved and what alternatives are available.
Benefits of Pipe Relining & Trenchless Repairs
Less Excavation
Where suitable, trenchless methods can reduce the need to excavate large sections of a property. This can help minimise disruption to gardens, driveways and other surfaces.
Repair From Inside the Pipe
Pipe relining can create a new lining inside an existing damaged pipe. This may provide an alternative to completely replacing the affected section.
Minimise Property Disruption
Reducing excavation can mean less disturbance to the surrounding area. The actual level of disruption depends on the condition and location of the drainage system.
Long-Term Repair Option
A suitable relining system can provide a structural solution for certain types of pipe damage. We assess the pipe first to determine whether this approach is appropriate.
Make an Informed Decision
CCTV inspection helps us understand the condition of the existing pipe before recommending a solution. This allows you to compare suitable repair and replacement options.
Who Needs Stormwater Drain Clearing?
Pipe relining may be worth considering when an underground drainage pipe has cracks, breaks or other damage but remains suitable for rehabilitation. It can be particularly useful where traditional excavation would disturb driveways, landscaping or other established surfaces.
Property owners dealing with recurring blockages caused by damaged pipes may also benefit from investigating whether the pipe can be repaired rather than repeatedly cleared.
Commercial properties, strata buildings and other sites may consider trenchless solutions where minimising disruption is particularly important. However, suitability depends on the condition, size, layout and accessibility of the drainage system.
A CCTV drain inspection is an important part of determining whether relining or trenchless repair is appropriate. We assess what is actually happening inside the pipe before recommending a solution.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Pipe relining is a method of repairing certain damaged pipes from inside the existing pipe. A liner is installed within the pipe to create a new internal pipe surface and restore the structural integrity of the affected section.
No. The existing pipe needs to meet certain conditions for relining to be appropriate. CCTV inspection and assessment can help determine whether relining is suitable or whether another repair method is required.
Trenchless drain repair refers to repair methods designed to minimise excavation when working on suitable underground pipes. The exact technique depends on the condition, location and configuration of the drainage system.
One of the main advantages of pipe relining is that it can often be completed through existing access points, reducing the need for extensive excavation. However, access requirements vary depending on the drainage system.
Some pipes affected by tree roots may be suitable for relining after the roots have been addressed. The condition of the pipe and extent of the damage need to be assessed first.
