Pipe Relining The Gap
The Gap’s established gum trees and figs are relentless on ageing clay sewer lines — cracking pipe joints, infiltrating drain runs, and gradually collapsing sections that are already decades past their design life. Pipe relining repairs damaged pipes from the inside, permanently, without excavating your yard or driveway.
Pipe Relining in The Gap — Permanent Fix, Zero Excavation
A huge proportion of homes in The Gap and the surrounding northwest Brisbane suburbs still have original clay or terracotta sewer pipes installed decades ago. These pipes crack with age, are invaded by tree roots, and can partially collapse under the weight of vehicles or shifting soil. Traditional pipe replacement means excavating driveways, garden beds and established landscaping — costly and disruptive.
Pipe relining repairs the pipe from the inside using a flexible epoxy resin liner that cures hard within the existing pipe. No digging, no disruption, and the finished result lasts 50+ years with a smooth bore that tree roots can't re-enter.
We reline sewer, stormwater and drain pipes for homes and commercial properties across The Gap, Ashgrove, Bardon, Enoggera, Upper Kedron, Gaythorne and surrounding suburbs.

How Pipe Relining Works
The process is straightforward — we inspect first, so you know exactly what you're dealing with before any commitment.
CCTV Inspection
We send a camera through the pipe to see exactly what's wrong — cracks, root intrusions, collapsed joints, or corrosion — and where the damage is located.
Clean the Pipe
Before relining, the pipe is high-pressure jetted to remove roots, debris, and build-up — creating a clean surface for the liner to bond to.
Insert & Cure Liner
A flexible, resin-impregnated liner is inserted and inflated against the pipe wall, then cured in place using heat or UV light to form a rigid, seamless new pipe inside the old one.
Final Camera Check
We run a final CCTV inspection to confirm the liner has bonded correctly, the pipe is watertight, and full flow is restored — before we pack up and leave.

Pipe Relining Costs
Costs depend on pipe diameter, length, access, and condition — we quote clearly after the CCTV inspection.
Pipe relining costs are influenced by the diameter and length of the pipe to be relined, how many sections or junctions are affected, the access points available, and the condition of the pipe after jetting. We won't quote a relining job without first completing a CCTV inspection — it's the only way to give you an accurate, honest price.
In many cases, relining is significantly less expensive than replacement once you factor in excavation, reinstatement of concrete or paving, and landscaping costs. We'll give you an honest comparison so you can make an informed decision.
Simple repairs start from $442.36. Larger relining jobs are quoted fixed-price upfront after CCTV assessment.
