Signs you need stormwater relining
If your stormwater system is showing signs of wear or damage, relining may be the best solution. Watch for:
Pooling water
Water pooling around your property after rainfall can signal a blockage or damaged stormwater pipes.
Slow drainage
Slow drainage in your stormwater system is often caused by blockages or pipe damage restricting flow.
Cracked or sunken areas
Cracks or depressions in your driveway or yard can indicate a stormwater pipe leak or collapse below.
Foul odours
Unpleasant smells from stormwater drains can indicate blockages or stagnant water in damaged pipes.
Frequent flooding
Regular flooding during heavy rain could mean your stormwater pipes are damaged or blocked.
Increased water bills
An unexplained spike in your water bill could be due to leaks in your stormwater system.
Suspect a stormwater issue? Avoid using drainage connected to the affected area and call us for a professional inspection.
Main causes of stormwater pipe damage
Sediment build-up
Sediment accumulates over time, reducing capacity and increasing pressure until pipes fail.
Extreme weather
Severe storms drive debris into stormwater systems, contributing to blockages and damage.
UV exposure
Exposed pipe sections degrade under UV rays, becoming brittle and prone to cracking.
Poor maintenance
Without regular inspections and cleaning, minor blockages and wear escalate into serious damage.
Erosion
Natural soil erosion around pipes leaves them unsupported, leading to sagging or breakage.
How we reline stormwater pipes
We use advanced trenchless stormwater relining techniques to repair your system efficiently — no excavation required:
- 1
Comprehensive inspection
A detailed CCTV camera inspection assesses the condition of the pipes and locates any damage or blockages.
- 2
Thorough cleaning
High-pressure water jetting clears the pipes of debris, dirt and blockages so they're ready for relining.
- 3
Relining installation
An epoxy resin liner is placed inside the damaged pipe and aligned over each affected section, then expanded and cured into a tight, resilient seal.
- 4
Post-relining inspection
A final CCTV inspection verifies the pipes are functioning perfectly and the relining was successful.
Preventing future stormwater drain problems
Prevention is key to avoiding costly repairs and keeping your drainage system efficient:
Regular inspections
Routine CCTV inspections catch potential issues early, before they worsen.
Clear debris regularly
Keep stormwater drains clear of leaves, dirt and other debris to avoid blockages.
Manage tree roots
Plant trees and shrubs away from stormwater pipes, and install root barriers where needed.
Install gutter guards
Gutter guards reduce the debris entering your stormwater system through downpipes.
Ready when your drains aren't.
No call-out fee, CCTV diagnosis and same-day clearing — backed by the Flow Safe Plumbing team.

Stormwater relining FAQs
We understand you may have questions about pipe relining and how it works — here are the ones we're asked most.
What is stormwater pipe relining?
It's a trenchless method of repairing damaged stormwater pipes by inserting a resin liner that hardens to form a new, durable pipe inside the old one.
How do I know if my stormwater pipes need relining?
Signs include slow drainage, pooling water, foul odours and frequent flooding after heavy rain. A professional inspection can confirm the need for relining.
How long does stormwater pipe relining last?
A properly relined stormwater pipe has a design life of 50+ years with regular maintenance.
Is relining better than traditional pipe replacement?
Yes — relining is less invasive, quicker and often more cost-effective, especially for pipes that are difficult to access.
How quickly can stormwater relining be completed?
Most relining jobs are completed in one day, depending on the extent of the damage and the length of pipe being repaired.
