What is Drain Relining?

Drain relining is a no-dig solution for repairing broken and damaged plumbing pipes. The process is where new pipe lining is inserted into the existing damaged pipe. Once it’s in place, the lining is expanded and cured, the lining forms a strong and seamless new pipe within the old pipe.

Our Drain Relining Process

Drain relining provides a non-invasive way to repair damaged underground pipes without extensive excavation. At Austest Pipeline Solutions, we first assess the condition of the existing drain before preparing and installing a new liner within the damaged pipe.

CCTV Drain Inspection

We begin with a CCTV drain inspection to assess the internal condition of the pipe and identify cracks, tree root intrusion, damaged joints, collapsed sections or other defects. This helps determine whether drain relining is a suitable repair option.

Drain Cleaning and Preparation

Before the liner can be installed, the existing pipe needs to be thoroughly cleaned and prepared. Built-up debris, tree roots and other obstructions are removed to create a clean surface for the new liner.

Installing the Pipe Liner

A specialised liner is inserted into the damaged section of pipe and positioned against the existing pipe wall. Once cured, the liner forms a strong new internal pipe, sealing cracks and damaged sections without the need to excavate the entire drain.

Final CCTV Inspection

Once the relining process is complete, we carry out a final CCTV inspection to check the newly lined section and confirm the repair has been completed correctly. This provides a clear view of the finished pipe before the drain is returned to normal use.

Benefits Of Drain Relining

Drain relining provides an effective way to repair damaged underground pipes without the extensive excavation required with traditional dig-and-replace methods. By installing a new liner within the existing pipe, damaged sections can be restored with significantly less disruption to your property.

When Should You Consider Drain Relining?

Drain relining may be suitable when pipes are cracked, damaged, affected by tree root intrusion or experiencing recurring blockages. It provides a non-invasive alternative to traditional pipe replacement, allowing damaged sections to be repaired without extensive excavation or disruption to your property.

How Much Does Drain Relining Cost?

The cost of drain relining varies depending on the length and diameter of the pipe, the extent of the damage, accessibility and the preparation required before relining can begin. A CCTV drain inspection allows us to assess the condition of the pipe and determine the most suitable repair approach. Contact Austest for an assessment and quote based on your drainage system.

Drain Relining vs Pipe Replacement

Traditional pipe replacement generally requires excavation to remove and replace damaged underground pipework. Drain relining instead repairs the existing pipe from within, which can reduce digging, disruption and the need to restore driveways, gardens or landscaped areas afterwards.

Austest provides drain relining for residential and commercial properties across Melbourne, repairing damaged underground pipes with minimal excavation and disruption. From ageing sewer pipes and tree root intrusion at homes to damaged drainage systems at commercial and industrial sites, we assess the condition of the pipework and recommend the most suitable relining solution.

Drain and Sewer Pipe Relining Services FAQS

What is drain relining and how does it work?

Drain relining is a no-dig method of repairing damaged pipes by creating a new pipe inside the existing one. A flexible liner saturated with epoxy resin is inserted into the pipe, inflated, and cured in place. Once hardened, it forms a seamless internal pipe that seals cracks, stops leaks, and restores full flow.

What drain relining services do you offer in Melbourne?

We provide complete drain relining services in Melbourne, including structural relining for cracked or broken pipes, sectional patch repairs, and pre-relining drain clearing. Our focus is on delivering a permanent, no-dig solution that restores damaged sewer and drainage systems without excavation.

Can drain relining fix blocked drains?

Yes. Drain relining is often the long-term solution for recurring blocked drains in Melbourne. Many blockages are caused by tree roots entering through cracks in old pipes. Relining seals these entry points, restoring smooth flow and preventing roots from returning.

Is drain relining safe for my property?

Yes. Drain relining is a trenchless repair method, meaning there is no digging required. This protects your driveway, garden, flooring, and structures while fixing the damaged pipe from the inside.

How long does the drain relining process take?

Most residential drain relining jobs in Melbourne are completed within a day. After installation, the resin typically cures within a few hours, making it significantly faster than traditional pipe replacement.

Do you inspect drains before relining?

Yes. Every job starts with a CCTV drain inspection to assess the condition of the pipe and confirm whether relining is the best solution. We also provide footage so you can see the issue before any work begins.

Can you reline drains for both residential and commercial properties?

Yes. We provide drain relining services across Melbourne for homes, commercial buildings, strata properties, and industrial sites. Our equipment is suitable for both small and large-scale drainage systems.

How much does drain relining cost in Melbourne?

The cost depends on pipe size, length, and damage severity. While relining may cost more per metre than traditional repair, it avoids excavation and restoration costs such as landscaping, paving, or concrete repairs. We provide fixed quotes after CCTV inspection.

How long does a relined drain last?

A professionally installed relined pipe can last 50 years or more. The cured resin forms a strong, corrosion-resistant pipe that is often more durable than traditional piping materials and resistant to tree roots and ground movement.
