What Is Drain Relining?

Drain relining is a trenchless (no-dig) repair method that creates a new pipe inside your existing damaged drain. A resin-impregnated felt liner is inserted into the pipe, inflated against the pipe walls, and cured in place to form a seamless, jointless new pipe. It's faster, cheaper, and less disruptive than traditional excavation for most types of drain damage.

What to Look For

• No digging or excavation required
• Repairs cracks, fractures, displaced joints and root damage
• Creates a seamless pipe with no joints for roots to enter
• Completed in hours rather than days
• 50+ year design life with manufacturer guarantees
• 30–60% cheaper than excavation for equivalent repairs

How We Diagnose the Problem

A CCTV survey determines whether your pipe is suitable for relining. The pipe must retain enough of its circular shape (less than 10% ovality), and there must be access points for the liner equipment. Most residential pipes 100mm–300mm diameter are suitable.

How We Fix It

The process involves cleaning the pipe with jetting, preparing and inserting the resin liner, inflating it against the pipe walls, curing it with UV light or ambient temperature, and verifying the result with a final CCTV survey. The entire process is typically completed in one day.
