How does pipe relining compare to digging up and replacing the pipe?

Relining repairs the pipe from the inside without excavation. That means no digging up your driveway, garden, or paths. It's faster, usually cheaper, and causes far less disruption than a full pipe replacement. The relined pipe is just as strong and comes with a 50-year warranty.

Will pipe relining stop tree roots from coming back?

Yes. The epoxy liner creates a smooth, jointless surface inside the old pipe. Roots get in through cracks and joints, so once those entry points are sealed, there's nothing for roots to latch onto. It's the most effective long-term solution for recurring root problems in Alderley.

How much does pipe relining cost in Alderley?

Cost depends on the length and diameter of pipe being relined, how many access points are needed, and the condition of the existing pipe. We inspect with CCTV first and give you a fixed quote before any work starts. In most cases relining works out cheaper than excavation and replacement once you factor in reinstatement costs.

Do I need a CCTV inspection before pipe relining?

Yes. We always run a camera through the pipe first to check the internal condition. This confirms relining is suitable and identifies any sections that might need pre-cleaning or a different approach. It also means you only pay for what's actually needed.

Can you reline pipes under driveways and paths without digging them up?

That's one of the biggest advantages of relining. We access the pipe through existing entry points like cleanouts and gully traps, so concrete driveways, paved paths, and established gardens stay untouched. No jackhammering, no reinstatement costs.

What warranty do you offer on pipe relining in Alderley?

We provide a 50-year warranty on all pipe relining work. The epoxy liner is resistant to corrosion, root intrusion, and chemical exposure, so it's built to last well beyond the warranty period. You get a warranty certificate with your completed job.

Expert Trenchless Pipe Relining Alderley

Pipe relining is the modern gold standard for repairing damaged underground infrastructure without the destructive cost of excavation. Instead of trenching through your landscaped garden or heritage driveway, we use CIPP (Cured-In-Place Pipe) technology to create a new, seamless pipe within your existing one. The result is a root proof, structurally reinforced system with a 2026 certified lifespan of 50+ years.

This technology is essential for Alderley, where the area features a high mix of older residential properties. These properties have older clay lateral pipes which, after a century of service, are prone to develop bellies and joint failures due to Brisbane's shifting reactive soils. Our Alderley plumbers easily restore these aging lines without disturbing the historical integrity of your property or its established tree canopy.

The entire process is usually completed in a single day, meaning your toilets and drains are back in service by dinner time, with zero restoration costs for your lawn or driveway. We're also available 24/7 for emergency repairs when required.

Our Complete Alderley Pipe Relining Process

CCTV Inspection

We send a high-definition camera through your pipes to identify the exact location and extent of damage, blockages, and any junctions that need attention.
Pipe Cleaning

We clear all blockages, cut out root intrusions with robotic cutters if needed, and thoroughly clean the pipe walls with high-pressure water jetting to ensure proper liner adhesion.
Liner Installation

We insert the resin saturated liner into the pipe, inflate it to conform to the pipe walls, and cure it using heat or UV light to create a seamless new pipe inside the old one.
Final Inspection

We run the camera through again to verify the liner has cured correctly, check for any issues, and confirm your drains are flowing freely before completing the job.

Applications

What Pipes We Reline In Alderley

Our pipe relining technology works with the range of pipe materials found in Alderley homes, from original clay systems in older properties to modern PVC installations.

Sewer Pipe Relining

Main sewer lines are the most common pipes we reline. Tree root intrusion, cracks from ground movement, and age related deterioration are permanently sealed, restoring flow and preventing sewage backups.
Stormwater Drain Relining

Stormwater pipes often run under driveways and gardens where excavation is most disruptive. Relining seals cracks that allow roots in and prevents debris from entering through damaged joints.
Junction Repairs

Where pipes join together is often where problems start. We use specialised techniques to reline junctions and connection points, sealing the entire drainage system without weak spots.

Warning Signs

Signs Your Alderley Property Needs Trenchless Pipe Relining

Damaged pipes often show warning signs before complete failure. If you notice any of these issues in your drainage, call one of our local plumbers and we'll determine if pipe relining is the right solution for you.

Recurring Blockages

If the same drain blocks repeatedly despite clearing, there is likely pipe damage allowing roots or debris to re-enter. Relining creates a seamless barrier that stops this cycle.
Slow Draining Fixtures

Multiple slow-draining sinks, showers, or toilets often indicate a main line problem. Partial blockages from cracks or root intrusion restrict flow throughout your drainage system.
Sewage Smells

Foul odours in your yard or near drains suggest cracked pipes are leaking sewage into the surrounding soil. Relining seals these cracks and eliminates the smell at the source.
Patches Of Green Grass

Unusually lush patches of lawn may indicate a sewage leak fertilising the soil below. This can be accompanied by soft, soggy ground even in dry weather.
Gurgling Sounds

Gurgling from drains when water is running elsewhere suggests air is being pulled through cracks or blockages in the pipe system.
Heritage Pipes

Original clay pipes in Alderley's older propertys are well past their expected lifespan. Even without obvious problems, proactive relining prevents future emergencies.

Pipe Relining vs Traditional Pipe Replacement In Alderley

Understanding the differences helps you make an informed decision about repairing your Alderley property's damaged pipes.

Traditional Pipe Replacement

Requires excavation of driveways, gardens, and landscaping
Takes 3-7 days or longer depending on access
Requires restoration of surfaces after pipe installation
Higher total cost when factoring in restoration
New pipes susceptible to same issues over time

Pipe Relining

No excavation - access through existing points
Completed in a single day for most jobs
No restoration required - property stays intact
Lower total cost in most situations
Seamless liner resists roots and corrosion for 50+ years

For Alderley properties with established gardens, established landscaping, or pipes running under buildings, relining is almost always the better choice in terms of cost, time, and results.

Why Alderley Properties Benefit From Trenchless Pipe Relining

Alderley's unique geological profile and historical landscape create specific infrastructure challenges that make trenchless pipe relining the only viable long term solution for Alderley homeowners.

Reactive Clay Soil Movement

The majority of Alderley is built on highly reactive clay soils. These soils expand significantly when wet and shrink during dry spells, exerting thousands of kilograms of pressure on underground lines. Traditional clay pipes lack the flexibility to handle this movement, leading to sheared joints and bellies in the line. Ou epoxy liners are engineered with structural flexibility to move with the soil without cracking.

Aggressive Root Intrusion

Alderley is famous for its lush, established streetscapes. However, local favorites like Moreton Bay Figs, Jacarandas, and Liquidambars have aggressive, moisture seeking root systems. In the search for nutrients, these roots exploit the tiny gaps in old clay pipe joins. While mechanical clearing is a temporary fix, relining creates a seamless, single piece internal sleeve that removes all entry points for roots permanently.

Enoggera Creek & High Water Table Stress

Properties in the lower lying pockets toward Enoggera Creek experience higher water tables and frequent soil saturation. This can cause aging, porous pipes to collapse or infiltrate with groundwater, overwhelming your sewer system.

Heritage & Landscape Preservation

For Alderley’s iconic Queenslanders, the character is often in the established gardens and original brick pathways. Traditional excavation would mean destroying these established features. By using existing access points, we can reline your entire drainage network underneath your home and garden without moving a single spade of dirt.
