Pipe relining, replacement and repair — minimal disruption to your property. Whether you’re calling for the first time or you’ve been a client for 20 years, the same team handles the call, the diagnosis, and the work. No tiered “senior vs junior” rates — just qualified, licensed, insured plumbers who do this every day across Northside Brisbane.
If we keep clearing the same blockage every few months, the camera shows root infestation in multiple places, or there’s a visible collapse in the pipe wall, replacement (or pipe relining) is more economical long-term. We’ll show you the camera footage and lay out the options — clear-now-fix-later versus a one-and-done repair — with the costs of each.
Pipe relining is the no-dig fix — we feed a resin-impregnated liner into the existing pipe, inflate it to the pipe wall, and let it cure into a smooth, jointless new pipe inside the old one. It restores full flow, blocks roots, and typically lasts decades. We use it most often on the main sewer line under driveways and gardens where digging would mean tearing up the landscape.
A spot pipe repair (a single section dug up and replaced) is usually a one-day job. A relining run on the main sewer line is typically a single day from arrival to clean-up. Larger replacements where we’re replacing a long section under hard surfaces can be 2–3 days — we’ll give you a clear timeline before we start and stick to it.
For a relining job you usually lose toilet/sink use for the cure window (typically 4–6 hours). For a dig-and-replace, we time the disconnection so you’re only without water for as little as possible, often a couple of hours mid-day. If the disruption is going to be longer (full bathroom or main-line replacement) we’ll talk you through options like a portable toilet hire.
Yes. Pipe relining is purpose-built for exactly this scenario — we access through an existing inspection point, line the pipe through the concrete, and you don’t lose your driveway. Where lining isn’t suitable we use directional drilling or carefully cut and reinstate the slab. Either way, we won’t leave you with a hacked-up driveway.
Yes. The reline workmanship is covered under our standard 6.5-year workmanship warranty. The reline material itself (the resin and liner system) carries a long manufacturer warranty — we’ll give you the paperwork on completion so you have it for any future house sale or insurance claim.
Camera first, sonar second. The CCTV crawler tells us what the problem is and where (it transmits its location to a surface receiver). For deeper or more complex jobs we’ll use acoustic leak detection or trace gas to pinpoint the failure to within a hand-span before we excavate. The point is: dig once, fix it, move on.
