Know the warning signs

Warning signs you need waste pipe relining

If you're experiencing recurring plumbing issues, it may be time to consider waste pipe relining. Watch out for:

Slow draining water

Sinks, showers or toilets draining slowly could indicate a blockage or pipe damage.

Frequent blockages

Constantly dealing with clogs in your waste pipes is a sign of a bigger underlying issue.

Foul odours

Bad smells from your drains or around the property often point to a damaged or blocked waste pipe.

Sewage backup

Wastewater backing up into sinks, toilets or drains means your waste pipes need attention.

Water leaks

Unexplained puddles around your property could indicate leaking or damaged underground waste pipes.

Unusual noises

Gurgling or bubbling sounds in your drains indicate trapped air from blockages or damage.

Understanding the problem

Common causes of waste pipe damage

Blockages

Build-up of grease, hair and food waste puts pressure on waste pipes, leading to damage or cracks.

Chemical corrosion

Exposure to harsh chemicals corrodes pipes over time, weakening their structure and causing leaks.

Tree root intrusion

Roots from nearby trees invade and damage waste pipes, causing blockages or burst pipes.

Shifting soil

Ground movement from weather or construction stresses underground pipes, leading to cracks or misalignment.

Improper installation

Poorly installed pipes suffer premature wear and tear, leading to frequent issues.

Step by step

Our waste pipe relining process

We use advanced waste pipe relining techniques to repair damaged pipes without any digging. Here's how it works:

  1. 1

    Inspection

    CCTV cameras inspect your waste pipes and assess the full extent of the damage.

  2. 2

    Cleaning

    The damaged pipe is cleaned with high-pressure water jetting to remove any blockages or debris.

  3. 3

    Resin installation

    An epoxy resin liner is carefully inserted to cover all compromised areas, then expanded and rapidly cured for a precise fit — a seamless, durable new pipe inside the old one.

  4. 4

    Final inspection

    A follow-up CCTV inspection confirms the relined pipe is functioning perfectly and the issue is resolved.

Prevention

Steps to prevent future waste pipe issues

Preventing waste pipe problems is key to avoiding costly repairs:

Proper waste disposal

Keep grease, oils and non-biodegradable items out of the drain to prevent blockages.

Regular maintenance

Schedule routine inspections and cleans to catch potential issues early.

Install drain covers

Covers in sinks and showers catch debris before it enters the pipes.

Tree management

Plant trees and shrubs away from waste pipes to prevent root intrusion.

FAQs

Waste pipe 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 waste pipe relining?

It's a trenchless method of repairing damaged pipes by inserting a resin liner that hardens to form a new, durable pipe inside the existing one.

How do I know if my waste pipes need relining?

Signs include slow draining water, frequent blockages, foul odours and sewage backups. A professional inspection can confirm the need for relining.

How long does waste pipe relining last?

A properly relined waste pipe has a design life of 50+ years with proper maintenance.

Is waste pipe relining better than traditional pipe replacement?
