Quick Answer
What is pipe relining?
Pipe relining is a trenchless repair method that fixes a damaged pipe from the inside, without digging up your yard, driveway or foundations. Aussie Dave’s Plumbing uses CCTV camera inspection to confirm the exact cause and location of the damage first, then installs a resin-saturated liner that cures into a smooth, seamless new pipe within the old one. Most relining jobs are completed in a day, with the new pipe guaranteed to last for decades.
About Our Pipe Relining Service
Fix the pipe, not the garden.
Relining repairs a pipe from the inside, so there’s no need to dig up your lawn, driveway or foundations to get to it. Dave’s been relining pipes for over 15 years, including major jobs running under freeways and petrol stations, so whatever’s going on with your pipes, he’s almost certainly seen it before.
Diagnosis comes first.
Before any relining work starts, a CCTV camera confirms exactly where the damage is and how bad it is, so you’re never paying to fix something that isn’t actually broken.
More than a quick patch.
Once cured, the new liner becomes a smooth, seamless pipe within the old one — no joins for roots to find, and no weak points left behind.
Built for Sydney's older pipework.
Sydney’s older suburbs are full of ageing clay and cast iron pipework prone to cracking and root intrusion. Relining modernises that pipework without ripping up the property above it.
Solutions that last.
All relining work is fully guaranteed, so you can relax knowing the fix is built to last for
decades, not just until the next heavy rain.

Task
Verdict
Why It Matters
Clearing a simple, isolated
blockage.
Safe short term
Fine for loose debris, but won’t fix a damaged pipe underneath.
Assessing whether relining is
needed.
Needs professional diagnosis
Only a CCTV inspection can confirm what’s actually
happening inside the pipe.
Attempting to reline a pipe
yourself.
Not recommended
Requires specialised equipment and a controlled resin-curing process.
Digging up a pipe to inspect it.
Usualy unnecessary
Modern camera technology avoids the need to dig first in most cases.
Managing recurring tree root regrowth.
Needs a long-term plan
Relining creates a seamless, root-resistant pipe rather than a temporary fix.

FAQS
Frequently Asked Questions
What is pipe relining and how does it work?
Pipe relining repairs a damaged pipe from the inside using a resin-saturated liner that’s inflated and cured in place, forming a smooth new pipe within the old one — without digging.
How long does pipe relining last?
A properly installed reline is built to last for decades and is backed by a workmanship guarantee.
Is pipe relining cheaper than pipe replacement?
In most cases, yes. Relining avoids the cost of digging up and restoring gardens, driveways or flooring, which often makes it more cost-effective overall.
Do you need to dig up my yard for relining?
Almost never. Relining is accessed through existing entry points in the vast majority of cases, so your yard, driveway and floors stay untouched.
How do you know if my pipe needs relining or replacing?
A CCTV camera inspection shows the exact condition of the pipe, which lets us recommend the right option rather than guessing.
Can tree roots come back after relining?
The new liner is smooth and seamless, so there are no joints or cracks left for roots to find their way back into.
How long does a relining job take?
Most residential relining jobs are completed within a day, depending on the length and condition of the pipe.
Is pipe relining suitable for all pipe types?
Relining suits most common pipe materials, including clay, cast iron and PVC. We’ll confirm suitability during the camera inspection.
Will relining reduce the diameter of my pipe?
The liner adds a small amount of thickness, but it’s designed to maintain proper flow and won’t cause new blockage issues.
Do you provide a CCTV report before and after the work?
Yes, footage can be provided both to confirm the original problem and to show the completed reline.
Is pipe relining covered by a guarantee?
Yes, all relining work is fully guaranteed.
Can relining be done under a driveway or slab?
Yes — this is one of the main advantages of relining, since it avoids the need to break up concrete or slabs to access the pipe.
Pricing Guide
What affects your price?
Emergency plumbing pricing depends on several factors specific to your situation, and we’ll always confirm your price before any work begins.
Length of pipe needing relining
Longer sections naturally take more time and material.
Pipe diameter and material
Different pipe types affect preparation and liner selection.
Access to the pipe
Depth, location and any obstacles can affect complexity.
Extent of the damage
Cracks, root intrusion or partial collapse each require a different approach.
Whether a CCTV inspection has already been done
An existing report can streamline the quoting process.
