If your drains keep blocking, relining can often repair the damaged pipes without any digging.
What causes bad drain blockages?
Serious drain problems are often caused by:
- Tree roots getting into the pipe.
- Cracked or broken pipes.
- Collapsed drains.
- Soil or debris getting into damaged pipes.
- Ageing drains.
In established areas around Geelong and nearby suburbs, older underground pipes can become more prone to these problems over time.
In the past, fixing damaged drains meant digging up driveways, gardens, paths or even parts under buildings. That can be costly, slow and very disruptive.
What is drain relining?
Drain relining is a no dig repair. It restores damaged drains from the inside, without removing or replacing the old pipe.
Inspect
A CCTV drain inspection shows our team where the blockage or damage is and how bad it is.
Clear
We clear the blockage with professional high pressure water jetting equipment.
Line
We put a special liner into the damaged pipe.
Inflate
We inflate the liner so it bonds to the inside of the old drain. This seals cracks, holes and damaged sections.
Cure
Once it cures, you have a strong, long lasting lining inside the pipe. It improves flow and lowers the risk of future blockages.
Why homeowners choose drain relining
Drain relining has several benefits over digging up your drains:
- No digging.
- Very little disruption to gardens, driveways or landscaping.
- The job gets done faster.
- Lower repair costs.
- Long term protection from tree roots.
- A stronger, smoother inside to the pipe.
For many homeowners, relining is a more practical and cost effective long term fix than replacing underground drains.
