Plumber relining a drain through a bathroom floor waste

Why Does the Same Drain Keep Blocking?

A drain that slows down again a few months after clearing is not a drain with bad luck. It is a drain with a hole in it. These are the usual reasons a line keeps coming back:

  • Roots that were cut out once and regrow through the same offset joint within a season
  • Cracked clay letting surrounding soil seep in, so the gap refills no matter how well it was jetted
  • A joint that has dropped out of line, catching paper and waste on every pass
  • A pipe that has started to collapse, narrowing the bore at one point along the run

Clearing treats the symptom. Relining treats the pipe.

How Does the Relining Job Run?

  1. 01

    Ring or send the form

    Call (02) 4063 3469 or use the form to explain the fault. We ask enough to bring the right equipment the first time.

  2. 02

    A fixed price first

    A plumber inspects the job and names a fixed figure up front. Nothing gets started until you give the go-ahead.

  3. 03

    Camera, clean, liner, cure

    The drain camera maps the damage, the jetter scrubs the walls clean, the resin-soaked liner is pulled through, then cured hard into a new pipe wall.

  4. 04

    Covered for a year

    Every job carries our 365-day warranty on all work. If something we did isn't right, ring the same number.

A final camera pass proves the liner has sealed the full length, and the footage is yours to keep.

What Sets the Cost of Relining?

Four things set the figure:

  • The length to be lined, from one cracked joint to the whole run out to the boundary
  • How many bends and junctions the liner has to negotiate
  • Whether the pipe needs a clearing pass first, which the camera run will show
  • Access, because a line reached through a single surface grate is quicker to work on than one under a deck

Clay From the 1890s, Sealed From the Inside

A township that old leaves deep plumbing

Kahibah's first cottages went up after the township was declared in 1894, and the earthenware drains under them have had well over a century to sink and shift with the valley, and the interwar weatherboard cottages sit over some of the oldest lengths. That era of pipe is what relining was designed for.

Digging is the expensive part of the old way

On a valley-side block, where the grade runs steep toward Flaggy Creek, an excavation can mean cutting through a sloping yard and rebuilding steps or retaining edges afterwards. A liner goes in through one small opening and leaves all of that alone. The reactive clay under the suburb keeps working joints loose through wet and dry seasons, and a liner with no joints gives it nothing to open.

What a Customer Said About a Relining Job

They were very understanding of my situation, with a work around for my pipe issues, which ended up being a fraction of the cost than previous quotes from another company.

When We're Not the Right Call

A fully collapsed pipe, or a line graded the wrong way so waste sits instead of draining, needs re-laying rather than lining. The camera run settles which situation you are in before any money is committed, and a collapsed line gets an honest referral to the excavation it needs. If roots are the whole story and the pipe is still sound, tree root removal may be all the line needs.

Where the Camera Work Starts

Every relining job begins with footage, so CCTV drain inspection is the first stop for a drain that keeps misbehaving. The blocked drains hub covers the clearing services, and the emergency page handles the failures that cannot wait for a booking.

Pipe Relining Questions From the Kahibah Run

Can you reline a sewer on a steep Kahibah valley block?

Yes. The fall down toward the creek actually helps, because the liner follows the existing grade. On a block that slopes hard, it saves trenching through a steep yard and rebuilding the landscaping afterwards.

Does relining suit the old earthenware sewers around Kahibah?

It does. The liner bridges cracked and offset joints in century-old clay and gives the line a smooth, joint-free interior. The camera run beforehand confirms the pipe is still round enough to take the liner, and the footage shows you the before and after.

Do you reline stormwater lines as well as sewers?

Yes, when the pipe is sound enough to hold a liner. Stormwater lines crushed under a driveway or by tree roots may need a section replaced instead. The camera decides which way the job goes before any quote is written.

Is the yard left intact once the crew packs up?

It should be. Access is through one or two small openings, so lawns, garden beds and paths stay as they were. The only mark left behind is the patch over the access hole, which is kept as small as the job allows.
