Drain Pipe Relining in Greensborough

Drain pipe relining is one of the most significant advances in modern plumbing. Rather than excavating your yard, driveway, or garden to replace a damaged underground drain pipe, relining creates a new pipe inside the existing one using a resin-impregnated liner that hardens in place. The result is a structurally sound, smooth-bore pipe that is resistant to root infiltration and lasts for decades.

Goats Plumbing provides drain pipe relining services for homes across Greensborough and surrounding areas. If you have a drain that keeps blocking due to tree roots or has been diagnosed with cracked, collapsed, or deteriorated pipe sections, relining may be the most cost-effective solution.

How Pipe Relining Works

Pipe relining is a non-invasive process that repairs the pipe from the inside without digging. Here is how the process works:

  1. The drain is first thoroughly cleared using hydro jet jetting to remove all debris, roots, and build-up.
  2. A CCTV camera inspection is carried out to identify the location and extent of the damage and confirm that relining is appropriate for the pipe condition.
  3. A flexible liner impregnated with epoxy resin is inserted into the pipe and positioned over the damaged section.
  4. The liner is inflated using an air bladder, pressing the resin-soaked liner against the inside of the existing pipe.
  5. The resin is cured using UV light or hot water, hardening the liner into a smooth, joint-free pipe within the old pipe.
  6. A final CCTV inspection confirms the liner is correctly in place and the pipe is structurally sound.

When Is Pipe Relining the Right Choice?

Pipe relining is not always the right solution, and Goats Plumbing will give you an honest assessment. Relining is typically appropriate when:

  • The pipe has recurring root infiltration but is otherwise in reasonable condition
  • The pipe has localised cracks or damage but is not collapsed
  • Excavation would be particularly disruptive or expensive due to the pipe’s location under driveways, gardens, or structures
  • The pipe is still round enough for the liner to adhere correctly

Relining is not suitable for severely collapsed sections, pipes with major offsets, or very small diameter pipes in some cases. A CCTV inspection determines suitability before any relining work is quoted or commenced.

Pipe Relining vs Pipe Replacement

The choice between relining and replacement depends on the condition of the pipe and the access available. Here is how they compare:

  • Pipe relining – No excavation, minimal disruption to your property, faster completion, long design life (50 years or more), resistant to root infiltration. Higher cost per metre than basic pipe replacement but significantly lower total cost when excavation is factored in.
  • Pipe replacement – Necessary for severely collapsed or offset pipes that relining cannot address. Involves excavation and reinstatement of the surface. More disruptive but sometimes the only viable option.

Goats Plumbing will recommend the most appropriate solution for your specific pipe condition after a CCTV inspection.

Our process

Our Pipe Relining Process

1.

CCTV inspection and assessment
We carry out a CCTV inspection of the damaged pipe to assess the condition, confirm the pipe is suitable for relining, and measure the affected section accurately.

2.

Hydro jet preparation
The pipe is thoroughly cleaned using high-pressure hydro jetting to remove all roots, debris, and build-up, leaving a clean surface for the liner to adhere to.

3.

Liner installation and curing
The resin-impregnated liner is inserted, positioned, inflated against the pipe wall, and cured in place using UV light or hot water, creating a new structural pipe within the old one.

4.

Final inspection and report
A post-lining CCTV inspection confirms the liner is correctly installed and the pipe is structurally sound. Full documentation including before and after CCTV footage is provided.

FAQs

COMMON QUESTIONS

Quality epoxy pipe relining has a design life of 50 years or more. Once cured, the liner is structurally independent of the host pipe and is highly resistant to root infiltration and chemical attack.
No. That is the primary advantage of pipe relining. The entire process is carried out from the existing access points such as inspection shafts and cleanouts, without any digging.
Not all pipes are suitable for relining. Severely collapsed sections, pipes with major offsets, or very small diameter pipes may not be suitable. A CCTV inspection is required to assess suitability before relining is recommended.
The cost depends on the diameter of the pipe, the length of pipe to be relined, and the access available. Goats Plumbing provides fixed-price quotes after a CCTV inspection to confirm the scope of work required.
Some home and contents insurance policies cover drain pipe repair including relining, particularly where damage has been caused by tree root infiltration. Check your policy and speak to your insurer. We can provide the CCTV footage and documentation to support a claim.
