Repair Suitable Pipes From Within The Existing Line

Excavation is not the only way to deal with certain damaged drainage pipes. VIP Drains provides pipe relining in Sydney where the condition and layout of the line make a trenchless repair approach suitable. The existing line must first be assessed to confirm whether relining is appropriate.

A CCTV drain inspection helps us look at the location and condition of the damage before any relining decision is made. The line may also need cleaning so the internal surface is prepared correctly. Not every damaged pipe is a relining candidate, which is why assessment comes before recommending this repair method.

When Pipe Relining May Be Considered

Relining is one repair option among several, and its suitability depends on the condition and layout of the existing pipe.

  • Cracked or deteriorated sections: Certain forms of pipe damage may be suitable for an internal liner once the affected area has been inspected. The surrounding structure still needs to be stable enough for the method to work.
  • Difficult excavation areas: Pipes beneath finished surfaces, landscaping or access-constrained areas can make traditional replacement disruptive. Relining may reduce the amount of digging required where the line is suitable.
  • Recurring root intrusion: Roots often enter through existing defects in a pipe. Clearing the roots addresses the immediate obstruction, while repairing the damaged section helps deal with the pathway they used to enter.
  • Targeted drainage repair: Relining can be considered when the issue is confined to a repairable section rather than requiring wholesale replacement. CCTV inspection helps establish the extent of the visible problem before work is planned.

No, suitability depends on the type and extent of damage, pipe layout and condition of the existing line. Inspection is required before relining can be recommended.

Camera inspection helps show where the damage is and whether the pipe appears suitable for an internal repair. It also helps identify obstructions or conditions that may need cleaning or other work first.
