What is pipe relining and how does it work?

Pipe relining repairs damaged pipes by installing a new liner inside the existing pipe. The liner is soaked in resin, inserted into the pipe, then inflated and left to cure. Once hardened, it forms a new pipe wall that seals cracks and prevents future issues.

Is pipe relining better than traditional pipe replacement?

In most cases, yes. Relining is less invasive, more cost-effective, and often more durable than replacing old pipes—especially when access is difficult or the damage is isolated.

Can you reline pipes with tree root damage or cracks?

Absolutely. Once roots are removed using a high-pressure jetter, the pipe can be relined to block future intrusion and reinforce weak sections.

Do you need to dig up the yard or driveway to reline pipes?

No. Pipe relining is a trenchless repair method, which means no digging is required for access unless the pipe is fully collapsed.

How long does pipe relining last?

Our pipe relining solutions are designed to last 50 years or more, with proper installation and ongoing care.

Advanced No-Dig Pipe Relining Services

When underground pipes crack, leak, or become overwhelmed by tree roots, many homeowners assume full excavation is the only fix. But with Weekend Plumbing Co., it doesn’t have to be that way. Our pipe relining services offer a modern, trenchless solution that restores the integrity of your stormwater or sewer lines without tearing up your yard.

Servicing Brisbane Northside, and Moreton Bay, our team uses advanced CCTV, hydro-jetting, and epoxy lining systems to repair pipe damage efficiently and affordably.

What Is Pipe Relining?

Pipe relining is a specialised method that restores damaged pipes from the inside out. Instead of digging to remove the affected section, we insert a resin-soaked liner into the existing pipe. Once cured, the liner hardens to create a new, seamless pipe within the old one, stronger, smoother, and more resistant to future problems.

It’s an ideal fix for:

Cracked or broken pipes
Tree root intrusion
Leaking joints
Corroded sections
Hard-to-reach piping under driveways or landscaped areas

Why Relining Is Often the Smarter Choice

In most cases, relining is not just an alternative to pipe replacement, it’s the smarter long-term solution. Here's why:

No digging required: Keep your driveway, garden, and landscaping untouched
Lower cost: Fewer labour hours and less disruption means more savings
Quick turnaround: Most jobs are completed in a single day
Durable results: Our epoxy liners are engineered to last up to 50 years
Minimal mess: No jackhammers, trenches, or backfill required

While there are scenarios where pipe replacement is necessary (such as full collapses or rerouting), we’ll always recommend the most practical option for your specific issue.

Stormwater Pipe Repairs Without the Mess

Stormwater systems often suffer from hidden damage due to ground movement, debris buildup, or root invasion. Traditional repairs require excavation, which can disrupt driveways, lawns, and footpaths. Our stormwater pipe relining offers a cleaner, quicker solution.

We inspect your lines using drain cameras, clean them thoroughly with a jetter, then install a strong new liner that seals cracks and reinforces pipe walls restoring full functionality without disturbing the surface.

Fixing Sewer Pipes With Long-Term Results

Dealing with cracked or leaking sewer pipes? Our sewer relining service is designed to handle exactly that. Using precision equipment, we target damaged sections, clean out any obstructions, and install a flexible liner that cures into a solid, joint-free pipe.

This method seals out roots, stops leaks, and resists corrosion. Best of all, you won’t have to rip up bathrooms, pathways or tiles to reach the problem pipe.

Here's What Our Customers Say

See what our local Brisbane customers are saying about our reliable plumbing services.

I had Tom from Weekend Plumbing Co. come out this morning, and I couldn’t be happier. From the moment I booked the appointment, the communication was smooth and friendly. Tom arrived on time, was professional, and took the time to explain what needed to be done before getting started. The quality of the work was excellent — efficient, thorough, and tidy. I would definitely recommend Weekend Plumbing Co. to anyone looking for reliable and top-notch plumbing service!

Melanie Ullner
Tom came out to assess our blocked kitchen drains, he went above and beyond to ensure the sink was draining before he left. Even though we couldn’t afford the whole works required today, the quote was reasonable but out of my budget this week - he went to work with his plunger and made sure the sink was draining to see us through the next couple of weeks until we book in for repairs and maintenance. Really polite and punctual, highly recommend this business, especially grateful for Tom’s help today!

Amanda Bate
