Pipe Relining in Brisbane

Damaged underground pipes can cause recurring blockages, tree root intrusion, slow drainage and wastewater backups.

Traditional pipe replacement may involve excavating the damaged section of drain. Pipe relining provides another option for suitable pipes by creating a new lining inside the existing pipe.

Brisbane and Gold Coast Blocked Drains can inspect the drainage system, identify the location and extent of the damage and determine whether pipe relining is appropriate for the problem.

What Is Pipe Relining?

Pipe relining is a trenchless method used to repair damaged drainage pipes from the inside.

A specialised liner is installed within the existing pipe and cured in place. Once hardened, the liner forms a new internal surface within the damaged section of pipe.

Because the repair is completed from inside the drainage line, relining can reduce the amount of excavation required compared with digging up and replacing the entire damaged section.

When Can Pipe Relining Be Used?

Pipe relining may be suitable when the existing drainage line has structural damage but is still in a condition that allows a liner to be installed.

It may be considered for problems such as:

  • cracked drainage pipes
  • leaking or deteriorated pipe joints
  • tree root entry points
  • recurring blockages caused by damaged pipework
  • sections of ageing drainage that need repair
  • pipes located beneath driveways, paving or landscaped areas
  • sewer or stormwater pipes that are difficult to access

Not every damaged pipe can be relined. Pipes that have severely collapsed, shifted or lost their original shape may require another repair method.

Signs You May Have a Damaged Drain Pipe

Recurring blockages are often one of the first signs that there may be a problem with the pipe itself rather than another one-off obstruction.

Other signs can include:

  • the same drain repeatedly blocking
  • tree roots returning after drain clearing
  • several fixtures regularly backing up
  • cracks or displaced joints visible during a CCTV inspection
  • sections of pipe that are leaking
  • ongoing drainage problems despite repeated cleaning
  • evidence of deteriorating underground pipework

A CCTV drain inspection can help determine whether damaged pipework is contributing to the problem.

How Does Pipe Relining Work?

The exact process depends on the pipe and type of damage, but pipe relining generally begins with inspecting and preparing the existing drainage line.

What Are the Benefits of Pipe Relining?

One of the main advantages of pipe relining is the ability to repair suitable underground drainage without excavating the entire damaged section.

This can be particularly useful when drains run beneath:

  • driveways
  • concrete
  • paving
  • landscaped gardens
  • other areas where excavation would cause additional disruption

Relining can also repair cracks and damaged joints that allow tree roots to enter the drainage system.

The suitability of relining depends on the condition of the existing pipe, so the drainage line should be properly inspected before deciding on a repair method.

Pipe Relining for Tree Root Damage

Tree roots can enter underground drains through cracks and damaged joints in search of moisture.

Clearing the roots can restore flow, but if the opening in the pipe remains, roots may eventually enter the drainage system again.

Where the pipe is suitable, relining can repair the damaged section from the inside and seal areas where roots have been entering.

A CCTV inspection can help identify the location and extent of root intrusion before determining whether relining is appropriate.

Pipe Relining vs Pipe Replacement

Pipe relining and traditional pipe replacement can both be used to repair damaged drainage, but the right option depends on the condition and location of the pipe.

Relining may be suitable when the existing pipe can support a new internal liner and avoiding excavation is beneficial.

Excavation and replacement may be required when a pipe has severely collapsed, shifted out of position or is otherwise unsuitable for relining.

The best approach is to inspect the pipe first and recommend the repair method based on the actual condition of the drainage system.
