What is Pipe Relining & How Does It Work?

Pipe relining is an advanced no-dig plumbing pipe repair technique that restores broken, cracked, or leaking pipes from the inside. In simple terms, it creates a brand new pipe within the old pipe without the need for digging trenches. This process, also known as trenchless pipe rehabilitation or epoxy pipe lining, involves a few key steps:

• Investigation: First, we conduct a CCTV drain inspection to locate the damage and assess the pipe’s condition. This live video feed lets us see cracks, tree root intrusions, or collapsed sections deep underground.

• Cleaning: We then clear any blockages and clean the pipe (often with a water jetter) to prepare it for relining. A smooth surface is essential for the new liner to adhere properly.

• Lining Installation: Next, a flexible liner soaked in a specialist epoxy resin is inserted into the damaged section of pipe. Using our trenchless equipment, we position the liner precisely over the problem area. We then inflate the liner, pressing it against the inner walls of the old pipe.

• Curing: The epoxy resin is allowed to cure (harden) in place. After a few hours, it solidifies into a tough, seamless new pipe inside the old one. We then remove the inflatable bladder, leaving the new structural pipe lining fixed in position.

• Final Inspection: Lastly, we inspect the relined section with the camera to ensure the repair is smooth and fully sealed. The result is a fully restored pipe with improved flow and strength, all achieved with no excavation on the surface.

Benefits of No-Dig Pipe Relining vs Traditional Pipe Replacement

Choosing pipe relining over digging up and replacing a pipe offers significant benefits for Gold Coast property owners:

• Minimal Disruption: No trenches required. We don’t need to rip up your lawn, driveway, or floors – your landscaping and property remain intact.

• Faster Completion: Most no-dig drain repair jobs are done in a day or less. In contrast, conventional excavation could take several days and multiple trades to restore surfaces afterward.

• Cost-Effective: Trenchless relining often costs less overall because you save on labour and avoid expensive rebuilding of excavated areas (gardens, paths, concrete, etc.). You pay for the solution, not the cleanup.

• Long-Lasting Results: The epoxy liner is extremely durable and resistant to future damage. A relined pipe can last 20-50 years, extending the lifespan of your plumbing with a like-new interior surface.

• Preventative Repair: Pipe relining not only fixes the current issue but also prevents future problems. The new seamless liner has no joints for tree roots to infiltrate and is smooth so debris won’t snag – reducing the chance of recurring blockages and leaks.

In short, pipe relining rehabilitates your existing pipes to a high standard without the headaches of traditional pipe replacement. It’s a modern, smart solution for repairing underground drains and sewer lines on the Gold Coast.

Signs You Need Pipe Relining

How do you know if you have a pipe problem that trenchless pipe relining can solve? Here are some common signs of damage where relining is an ideal fix:

Frequent Blocked Drains & Slow Water Flow

Do your sinks, showers, or toilets keep backing up or draining slowly? If you experience frequent blocked drains that only temporarily clear with plunging or drain cleaners, there may be an underlying pipe issue. Cracks or rough corrosion inside pipes can snag debris and cause repeated clogs. Rather than constantly clearing blockages, drain relining smooths the interior of the pipe, removing those catch-points so water flows freely. If you’re facing constant clogs or slow draining even after plumbing maintenance, it’s a strong indicator of internal pipe damage that relining can repair.

Tree Root Intrusions in Pipes

Tree roots are a major culprit in cracked and blocked pipes. On the Gold Coast, many properties have trees or shrubs whose roots naturally seek out water sources, infiltrating small cracks in underground pipes. Signs of tree root intrusion include gurgling sounds in drains, bad odours from your sewer, or backups, especially if they worsen during rainy periods (when roots are active). If a CCTV inspection reveals root invasion, pipe relining is an excellent solution after root removal. We’ll cut away the roots and then insert an epoxy liner to seal the pipe from within, closing off any entry points. The new liner is joint-free, so roots can no longer penetrate – permanently solving the problem without excavating the pipe or removing your beloved trees.

Cracked or Collapsed Sewer & Stormwater Pipes

Old age, ground movement, or pressure from above (like vehicles) can lead to cracked, collapsed or broken pipes in your sewer or stormwater system. Warning signs include unexplained damp patches in the yard, sinkholes, smelly wet areas, or persistent sewer backups. Traditionally, a collapsed drain or severed sewer line meant digging a trench to replace the pipe. Now, provided the pipe isn’t fully crushed flat, we can use pipe relining to restore sewer pipe integrity. Our method for sewer pipe restoration will re-line the cracked sections and even bridge minor gaps, essentially creating a new pipe where the old one has failed. It’s also highly effective for repairing cracks in stormwater pipes that run under driveways or foundations – we can reinforce them internally so they won’t collapse further. If you suspect a cracked sewer or stormwater drain (foul smells or ground subsidence are clues), relining can rehabilitate the pipe without the upheaval of digging it up.

Leaking & Corroded Underground Pipes

Have you noticed a dramatic drop in water pressure, unexplained high water bills, or puddles on your property with no obvious source? These could point to a leaking underground pipe. Over time, metal pipes (like old cast iron or galvanised steel) corrode and develop pinhole leaks, and even newer PVC pipes can leak at joints or due to damage. Locating and digging up a leak is costly and disruptive. Pipe relining offers a better way: we can reline the underground plumbing pipe from an access point, sealing all leaks in the process. This not only stops existing leaks but also prevents future leaks by reinforcing the entire section of pipe. The epoxy lining is water-tight and corrosion-proof, so it rehabilitates ageing pipes prone to rust. If your property has corroded drains or recurring leaks, our no-dig pipe repair can renew the pipeline from the inside and restore your water pressure, all with minimal fuss.

Our Pipe Relining Services in Gold Coast

At Tubeline Plumbing and Drainage, we offer end-to-end trenchless pipe repair services to tackle any drain or sewer pipe issue without excavation. From the initial inspection to the final relining, our qualified team uses the latest equipment and techniques to ensure a thorough, long-lasting fix. Our key pipe relining services for Gold Coast customers include:

CCTV Drain Inspections & Pipe Assessments

Accurate diagnosis is the first step to a successful pipe repair. Our plumbers perform CCTV drain inspections using high-resolution camera technology to see exactly what’s happening inside your pipes. This no-dig inspection method lets us identify issues like cracks, root intrusions, blockages or collapsed segments from within the pipe. We provide a complete pipe assessment – pinpointing the location and extent of damage. By understanding the condition of your drains and sewer lines, we can determine if no-dig pipe relining is the best solution (and in most cases, it is). This upfront inspection also means we target the problem areas precisely, so the repair is efficient and effective. You’ll even be able to see the footage for yourself, so you know exactly what’s going on underground.

Epoxy Resin Pipe Relining

Our specialty is epoxy resin pipe relining, a trenchless technique that fixes pipes internally. After cleaning the pipe, we prepare a flexible liner saturated in high-strength epoxy resin. Using our equipment, we insert and maneuver this liner through the pipe to cover all the cracks or leaks. Once in position, we inflate the liner against the pipe walls and let the epoxy cure. This forms a hardened new pipe lining inside the old pipe – essentially a pipe-within-a-pipe. The epoxy adheres to all the gaps and fissures, creating a permanent seal and restoring structural integrity. This method (also known as CIPP – Cured In Place Pipe) is ideal for cracked pipe repair, sealing leaking joints, and stopping root ingress. The result is a smooth, jointless epoxy pipe lining that is as strong as a new pipe and highly resistant to future damage. We use only premium quality, water industry-approved epoxy materials to ensure the relined section will serve you for decades to come.

Stormwater & Sewer Pipe Relining

From household stormwater drains to main sewer lines, our team relines all types of plumbing pipes beneath your property. We handle stormwater pipe relining to fix broken outdoor drainage pipes that carry rainwater away from your roof and yard. These are often buried under gardens, driveways or lawns – places you absolutely don’t want to excavate if it can be avoided. With our no-dig approach, we can rehabilitate stormwater pipes that are cracked, separated at joints, or invaded by roots, restoring proper drainage flow and preventing water damage on your property.

For sewage systems, we offer comprehensive sewer pipe relining and rehabilitation. If your home or business has an aging sewer line that’s constantly blocking or leaking, we can line the sewer pipe internally to restore its function like new. This service is perfect for clay or cast iron sewer pipes that have deteriorated over time. By relining your sewer pipes, we eliminate infiltration (no more groundwater seeping in or sewage leaking out) and keep out tree roots, all without digging up your yard or driveway. Our stormwater and sewer relining services extend the life of your existing pipes and ensure your vital drainage infrastructure works reliably long-term.

No-Dig Drain Repair & Rehabilitation

All of our pipe relining work is carried out with a no-dig drain repair philosophy – meaning we strive to fix your pipes with little to no excavation. This is particularly beneficial for heritage properties or landscaped gardens in the Gold Coast where preserving the surroundings is a priority. Our trenchless rehabilitation techniques can renew pipes beneath established lawns, patios, concrete slabs, or even buildings, with only small access points required. By choosing our no-dig solutions, you avoid the headache of repairing driveways, replanting gardens, or restoring floors after a plumbing job. We not only fix the immediate issue (be it a crack, leak, or root blockage) but also reinforce your pipe against future problems. Tubeline’s no-dig pipe rehabilitation service utilises state-of-the-art equipment and skilled technicians who specialise in drain repair without destruction. The outcome is a fully repaired pipeline and zero mess for you to clean up – a truly win-win for property owners.

Emergency Pipe Relining & Repairs in Gold Coast

Pipe disasters can strike without warning – a sewage backup, an underground pipe burst, or an severely blocked drain can quickly become an emergency. Rest assured, Tubeline Plumbing and Drainage offers emergency pipe repair and relining services to tackle urgent situations promptly. While we don’t market a 24/7 service, we do prioritise emergency calls during our operating hours and will respond as quickly as possible to mitigate damage.

If you’re facing a sudden pipe failure or flooding from a broken drain, our team can provide a rapid assessment and solution. We’ll arrive with our CCTV cameras and leak detection gear to identify the issue fast. Often, if the situation allows, we can perform a quick pipe relining patch on the spot – stabilising a cracked section or sealing a leak from inside to stop further water damage. For example, if tree roots have broken a sewer pipe and sewage is leaking, we can clear the roots and insert a resin liner immediately to seal the break as an emergency fix. Our trenchless repair approach means even in a crisis, we usually don’t need to dig up your property to stop the leak or unblock the pipe. This speeds up the emergency repair and reduces disruption to your home or business.

Emergency Pipe Relining is a far cleaner and faster alternative to excavating in an urgent scenario. By choosing Tubeline for an emergency response, you’ll get experienced plumbers who know how to contain and resolve pipe issues swiftly. We’ll relieve the immediate problem and then, if needed, schedule a full relining solution to permanently fix the section. Keep our number on hand for any Gold Coast pipe emergencies – we’re here to help protect your property and restore your plumbing as quickly as possible.

FAQs About Pipe Relining & Trenchless Pipe Repairs

Q: What is pipe relining and how does it actually work?

A: Pipe relining is a trenchless pipe repair method where we fix a damaged pipe from the inside without digging it up. We insert a flexible tube coated with epoxy resin into the faulty pipe, inflate it to press against the pipe walls, and let it harden. Once cured, it creates a new, solid pipe lining inside the old pipe. This seals any cracks or breaks and essentially gives you a brand new pipe internally. The process involves minimal excavation (often just an access point) and can be completed much faster than a traditional pipe replacement.

Q: How long does a relined pipe last?

A: A properly relined pipe can last for several decades – often 20 to 50 years or more. The epoxy resin material is extremely durable and designed to resist wear, corrosion, and tree root intrusion over the long term. In many cases, the pipe rehabilitation will extend the life of the pipeline well beyond the original lifespan of the old pipe. We’re so confident in the longevity of our relining that we provide a long-term warranty (e.g. 20-year guarantee). With normal usage, you can expect the relined section to serve your property reliably for a very long time.

Q: Is pipe relining better than digging up and replacing the pipe?

A: In most situations, yes – no-dig pipe relining is a far better solution than traditional excavation and replacement. Relining is much less disruptive (no large trenches across your property), quicker to complete, and often more cost-effective when you factor in the money saved on landscape restoration and labour. The relined pipe is also joint-free and highly durable, which can perform better than some new pipes that have multiple joints or inferior materials. The only time replacement might be necessary is if a pipe is completely collapsed or flattened where lining can’t be inserted – but our team will assess and advise you honestly. Generally, if relining is an option, it will provide equal if not superior results to a full replacement, with far less hassle for you.

Q: Can any type of pipe be relined?

A: Nearly all common plumbing pipe materials can be relined. The technique works on clay, cast iron, PVC, concrete, and earthenware pipes, which covers the majority of drain and sewer pipes in Gold Coast homes and businesses. The diameter of the pipe can range from household drain size to large sewer mains – different liner sizes and resins are available to suit. Our team will choose the appropriate liner for your pipe’s material and size. There are rare cases where a pipe section may be too damaged (completely collapsed or extremely misaligned) making relining unfeasible; in those cases, a small excavation for that section might be needed. However, even then, we often can reline the rest of the pipeline and just replace the one bad spot. In summary, pipe relining is a versatile solution for most drain or sewer pipes that are structurally intact enough to allow a liner through.

Q: Will pipe relining stop tree roots from coming back?

A: Yes, absolutely. Once we have relined a pipe, tree roots can no longer penetrate it. Before relining, roots get in through cracks or joints in the pipe. The epoxy relining process seals the pipe completely, eliminating any gaps or seams. After relining, it’s like having a continuous, new plastic pipe – roots have nothing to grab onto. We always remove existing roots from the pipe first (using cutting tools or high-pressure water), and then after lining, the roots are effectively kept out for good. You also won’t have to deal with root-related blockages in that section anymore because the new inner surface is smooth and joint-free. It’s a long-term fix to tree root intrusion. (Do note that if you have severe root problems throughout your system, each affected section needs to be treated – our initial inspection will identify all the root intrusion points.)

Q: How much does pipe relining cost?

A: The cost of pipe relining can vary widely depending on the extent of damage, the length and diameter of pipe that needs lining, and the complexity of the job (number of bends, ease of access, etc.). In general, trenchless relining is very competitive in cost compared to a full excavation, especially when you consider the savings from not having to restore your property afterward. We provide a free pipe assessment and quote, so you’ll know the exact price before work begins. As a rough guide, relining a small section (a few metres) costs less than a major dig-up repair; larger jobs will be priced per metre of lining installed. We can confidently say that our customers often find the investment well worth it for the convenience and longevity it brings. For an accurate evaluation, we’re happy to come out, inspect your pipes, and give you a no-obligation quote tailored to your situation.
