No dig pipe relining starts with a CCTV drain camera inspection, where we send a tiny camera into your pipe to find the real culprit. Once we’ve pinpointed the trouble, we give the pipe a deep clean using high-pressure water jetting to clear a smooth path.
Next, we take a flexible, custom-measured liner, saturate it with a high-strength epoxy resin, and slide it right into your existing pipe through a simple access point. After a few hours of curing and hardening, that resin transforms into a rock-solid, jointless pipe within a pipe. We finish with one last camera check to prove the structural integrity is 100% restored.
For a more detailed explanation, here’s how our pipe relining process works, step by step.
pipe relining services before and after
The first step is a CCTV drain camera inspection to check your drains from the inside. We insert a high-definition camera through the pipe to pinpoint the exact location of the damage and assess how bad is your drain problem.
Once our licensed Sydney plumbers identify the cause of the blockage, we thoroughly clean the pipe using high-pressure water jetting. This helps to clear out any debris, sludge, or stubborn tree roots, creating a perfectly clean surface for the new lining.
Time: 15 to 30 mins for the inspection; 30 mins for the jetting, depending on how stubborn those roots are.
Now that the path is clear, our plumbers take precise measurements to make sure that we make a custom fit for your specific drainage system. We then prepare a flexible, felt-based liner and saturate it with a high-strength, durable epoxy resin. This liner is designed to match the exact shape and size of your pipe, which is essential for a long-lasting repair.
Time: About 20 to 30 mins to get the liner prepped and ready.
This is where the transformation happens without a single shovel hitting your garden or as we call it trenchless pipe relining. The resin-saturated liner is carefully inserted into the pipe through an existing access point, like a simple drain opening.
Now, we let it cure or harden. As the epoxy resin sets, it literally forms a brand-new, jointless pipe inside the old one. This new structure isn't just a patch, but a smooth, rock-solid, and incredibly strong barrier that is naturally resistant to future tree root intrusions and cracks.
Time: Insertion takes about 30 mins, but the curing process usually takes 2 to 4 hours, depending on the weather and the type of resin used.
Once the new pipe has fully cured, we perform a final CCTV drain camera inspection. This allows us to verify that the lining is perfectly smooth, properly bonded, and that your pipe’s structural integrity is 100% restored.
Time: A quick 15 to 20 mins for the final quality check, and show you the after footage so you can see the seamless, root-proof finish for yourself. Then we pack up, leaving your garden exactly how we found it!
