What is Pipe Relining?
Sewer pipe relining is an effective solution suitable for various pipe types, eliminating the need for extensive excavation. It involves installing a new structural liner, effectively becoming a sturdy pipe inside the pre-existing sewer pipes, to forge a new pipe within old constructions, ensuring durability.
This technique has shown high effectiveness across various materials such as clay, PVC, concrete, and HDPE sewer stormwater systems. It is appropriate for potable water pipes, sewer pipe systems, stormwater drains and more.
Some key advantages of relining your drains include:
- No digging or destruction to floors, walls or landscaping
- Significantly reduced disruption to your property
- Significantly more cost-effective for your drain than full pipe replacements
- Can fix cracked, broken or misaligned sections of your pipe
- Resists corrosion, tree roots infiltration and ground movement in your drain pipe
- Flexible enough to navigate multiple bends in the pipe system
- 50+ year product warranty available
The no-dig pipe relining process installs a durable new liner using air pressure or steam, minimising disruption to your daily routine. Plumbers then carefully infuse epoxy resin to seamlessly mend sewer line issues. Once hardened, the result is a smooth, seamless and incredibly robust pipe to decisively fix sewer issues within old one effortlessly.

How Pipe Relining Works
The pipe relining process involves the following key steps:
CCTV Drain Inspection
Initially, our technicians conduct a detailed CCTV drain camera inspection to determine the specific location, material, size and condition of your damaged pipe.
Pipe Cleaning
We then clean the pipes with high-pressure water jetting to remove any built-up debris, roots or other blockages.
Resin Impregnation
We insert into pipe an epoxy resin-soaked liner using compressed air. The liner then is pulled taut against the walls of your drains pipes.
Steam Pressure
Steam pressure is applied to the relining pipe which activates and hardens the resin. This creates a smooth, jointless, and incredibly tough new pipe lining inside the old pipe.
Final Testing & CCTV
Once cured, final CCTV and pressure testing ensures no defects. The pipe Pipe relining solutions can repair the old pipe from the inside-out with minimal property disturbance.
Addressing blocked drains, our expert technicians have over 50 years combined experience transforming damaged sewer stormwater drains into structurally sound, operational systems. We manage pipes of various shapes and sizes, addressing issues such as cracks, misalignments, and root intrusions permanently.

When Can Pipe Relining Be Used on Stormwater Drains?
Pipe relining can be an extremely effective solution for stormwater drains in a variety of situations, including:
Cracked or Damaged Pipes
If your stormwater pipes have cracks, fractures, holes or other damage, having the drain relined can repair these issues without the need for pipe replacement.
Pipes with Minor Collapses
Relining provides internal structural reinforcement for pipes that have begun to collapse in certain areas.
Tree Root Intrusion
Pipe relining is also ideal for countering tree root infiltration that often clogs and breaks stormwater drains. It creates a protective barrier inside the pipe.
Whether it’s for residential or commercial properties, we offer your stormwater sewer renewal through relining, saving you a significant amount versus full replacement costs. We use state-of-the-art CIPP relining for long-lasting results.

Pipe Relining Processes and Methods for Stormwater Drains
There are two main pipe relining processes used for stormwater drains:
Inversion Relining
This involves inserting a resin-saturated felt liner into the damaged drain or pipe. The liner is then inverted using water or air pressure, embedding it into damaged interior walls. Once the resin cures, it forms a smooth, jointless and robust pipe lining.
Patch Relining
Smaller liner patches are used to repair an isolated section pipe of damage. The cured resin bonds the patch to the pipe walls, restoring structural integrity.
We select the appropriate process according to factors such as:
- Type of drain material (PVC, concrete etc.)
- Amount and location of damage
- Drain size and configuration
Both methods apply a protective epoxy barrier within the pipe, thwarting future encroachments by roots and debris. This restores drainage capacity and flow rate.
With over 50 years combined reline experience, we can renew your stormwater pipes from the inside-out. Contact us to learn how CIPP relining saves you money compared to traditional replacement.
Considerations for Using Pipe Relining on Stormwater Drains
There are several important considerations when determining if pipe relining is suitable for your stormwater drains:
Pipe Condition
A thorough assessment should consider plumbing issues including the pipe material, age, extent of damage, and blockages or tree root presence. Severely compromised pipes would need replacement.
Drain Access
Technicians need access to thoroughly clean and inspect the pipes. Areas with multiple tight bends can pose challenges.
Junctions and Connections
The relining process works best on straight pipe sections. Drain junctions and property stormwater connections may impact results.
Property Disruption
Although minimal, some indoor access may be needed to insert equipment and again later to reconnect pipes. This should be discussed beforehand.

How Much Does Pipe Relining Stormwater Drains Cost?
When it comes to renewing damaged stormwater drains, pipe relining provides significant cost savings over traditional drain replacement.
On average, pipe relining can cost 30-50% less than traditional methods. Actual costs are influenced by factors such as:
- Number, length and diameter of pipes needing repair
- Pipe material - concrete, PVC, clay etc.
- Extent of damage
- Accessibility and worksite conditions

Limitations of Pipe Relining for Stormwater Drains
While pipe relining is highly effective in many situations, there are some limitations to be aware of:
Severely Damaged Pipes
If sewer drains have complete collapses, large cracks or sections missing, relining may not be possible as the structural integrity is too compromised. Full replacement would likely be required.
Heavy Root Infiltration
Extensive tree root systems inside pipes can also prevent relining and necessitate drain replacement instead.
Multiple Bends and Junctions
The relining technique is most effective on straight sewer or stormwater pipe sections. Numerous tight bends or junctions can make it difficult to thoroughly clean and resin-line the pipes.
Our team of drain specialists will inspect your stormwater system via CCTV camera and advise if pipe relining is a suitable option or if complete drain replacement is necessary. We consider all factors to find the most effective and affordable pipe repair solution.
