A brand-new sewer pipe. Zero digging.
Trenchless pipe relining cures a structural resin liner inside your damaged pipe — stronger than the original, jointless so roots can't get back in, and finished in a day. Your driveway, garden and floors stay exactly where they are.
Lifetime warranty
How relining works
Four steps. One day. No trench.
Clean & inspect
High-pressure jetting strips roots and scale, then CCTV maps every defect and measures the run.
Insert the liner
A resin-saturated liner is inverted or winched into the pipe through existing access points.
Cure in place
The liner is pressed against the pipe wall and cured hard — a continuous new structural pipe.
Cut & certify
A robotic cutter re-opens junctions, and final CCTV footage confirms (and documents) the result.
Reline vs dig
Why relining usually wins
- No reinstatement costs. Excavation quotes look cheaper until you add re-concreting the driveway, re-tiling the bathroom or re-landscaping the garden.
- Done in a day, not a week of machinery in your yard.
- Jointless. Tree roots enter at joints — the liner has none.
- Structural. The cured liner is a pipe in its own right, with a 50+ year design life.
- Works under buildings. Pipes beneath slabs, pools and extensions can be renewed without touching them.
When excavation genuinely is the better call — full collapse, severe backfall — we'll say so and quote it straight. See sewer repair options.
What it costs
Relining prices in Sydney
Typical pricing for standard 100mm house sewers is $500–$800 per metre, with most complete jobs landing between $3,000 and $15,000 depending on length, diameter and junction count.
That's usually 50–70% less than excavation once surface reinstatement is counted — and the number we quote after your CCTV inspection is fixed, in writing, before work starts.

Pipe relining FAQs
How much does pipe relining cost in Sydney?
Typically $500–$800 per metre for standard 100mm house sewers; most complete jobs land between $3,000 and $15,000 depending on length, diameter and junctions. Usually 50–70% cheaper than digging once you count reinstating driveways, landscaping or floors.
How long does relining last?
Quality cured-in-place liners carry a 50+ year design life and are structural in their own right — they don't rely on the old pipe for strength. Ours come with a lifetime warranty.
Can every pipe be relined?
Most — cracked, rooted, corroded and partially collapsed pipes from 40mm to 600mm, bends and junctions included. Fully collapsed pipes with no passage for the liner, or runs with severe backfall, need excavation instead. The camera tells us which before you spend anything on repairs.
How long does the job take?
Most residential relines finish in a single day: jet-clean and prep, insert the liner, cure for 2–4 hours, robotically re-open the junctions, and verify on camera.
Does relining actually work — is it worth it?
It's the same cured-in-place technology city sewer authorities have trusted for decades, scaled down to house drains — the finished liner is a structural pipe with a 50+ year design life. Worth it? Usually, when digging would destroy driveways, gardens or floors. Not always: one minor defect wants a patch, and a fully collapsed pipe wants excavation. The camera footage decides, and we quote whichever is genuinely cheaper — see the price guide.
Will tree roots get back in?
No — roots enter through joints and cracks, and a cured liner is continuous with neither. Regrowth into a properly installed liner is covered by our warranty.
