Damaged underground pipes do not always need to be dug up and replaced. In many cases, pipe relining can repair the damaged section from the inside, creating a new lining within the existing pipe and avoiding major excavation.
All Needs Plumbing provides pipe relining services across Sydney and Wollongong for homes, strata properties, commercial sites, and managed properties. Our licensed plumbers can inspect your drains, identify the damaged section, and recommend whether pipe relining is the right solution.
If you have recurring blocked drains, tree root damage, cracked pipes, leaking drains, or damaged sewer lines, our team can help you find a practical long-term fix.

Pipe problems can be frustrating, especially when the damaged section is underground, under a driveway, below a building, beneath landscaping, or in an area that is difficult to access.
Traditional pipe replacement often requires excavation to expose and replace the damaged pipe. Pipe relining offers a less disruptive alternative where the existing pipe is suitable. Instead of digging up the pipe, a liner coated with resin is inserted into the damaged section and cured in place, forming a new pipe lining inside the old one.
At All Needs Plumbing, we use CCTV pipe inspections to assess the condition of the drain before recommending relining. This allows us to understand the damage, confirm whether the pipe is suitable, and explain the most practical repair option clearly.
Sewer pipe damage can cause recurring blockages, bad smells, wastewater backups, gurgling drains, and serious hygiene concerns.
If the damaged sewer pipe is suitable, relining can help repair cracks, gaps, and root entry points without digging up large sections of the property. Our plumbers can inspect the sewer line with CCTV equipment and recommend whether relining is the right option.
Drain pipes can become damaged due to age, ground movement, tree roots, poor installation, or wear and tear. If your drain keeps blocking even after it has been cleared, there may be a damaged section inside the pipe.
All Needs Plumbing can inspect the drain, clean the line, and reline suitable sections to help reduce future blockages and improve the condition of the pipe.
Damaged stormwater pipes can lead to poor drainage, pooling water, overflowing pits, and water damage around the property.
Where suitable, pipe relining can help repair damaged stormwater sections without unnecessary excavation. This can be especially useful when pipes run under paved areas, driveways, landscaped areas, or hard-to-access sections of the property.
Tree roots are one of the most common causes of recurring drain problems. Roots can enter through small cracks or pipe joins, then continue growing inside the pipe and causing repeated blockages.
Clearing the roots may restore flow temporarily, but if the entry point remains open, the roots may return. Pipe relining can help seal the damaged section and reduce the chance of roots entering again.
Pipe relining is often called trenchless pipe repair because it can repair the pipe from the inside. This can reduce the need for digging, demolition, landscaping repair, or disruption to driveways, paths, gardens, and building structures.
It is not suitable for every damaged pipe, but when it is suitable, it can be a practical and long-term repair option.
A CCTV pipe inspection is an important step before pipe relining. It helps confirm where the damage is, how severe the issue is, and whether the pipe is suitable for relining.
If the pipe is crushed, collapsed, badly misaligned, or structurally unsuitable, excavation or replacement may be required instead. We will explain this clearly before recommending any work.

Before relining, the pipe usually needs to be cleaned properly. We remove blockages, debris, roots, grease, and build-up using suitable drain cleaning methods.
This helps prepare the pipe so the liner can be installed correctly.
Once the pipe is clear enough to inspect, we use CCTV drain camera equipment to locate the damaged section and assess the condition of the pipe.
This step helps us confirm whether pipe relining is suitable and how much of the pipe needs to be repaired.
A liner is prepared to suit the damaged section of pipe. The liner is coated with resin and positioned so it covers the affected area properly.
The exact preparation may depend on the pipe size, access, damage location, and length of the repair.
The liner is inserted into the pipe and positioned over the damaged section. It is then expanded so it presses against the inside of the existing pipe.
This helps the liner form against the pipe wall and cover cracks, holes, or damaged joins.
The resin is left to cure until it forms a strong internal lining. Once cured, the liner creates a new pipe surface inside the existing pipe.
The curing time can vary depending on the job, pipe conditions, and product used.
After the relining is complete, we inspect the pipe again where needed to check the finished result and confirm the repaired section is ready for use.
“Each time, their professionalism has been outstanding. Four different team members attended across the process, and every one of them was punctual, courteous, and efficient.”
From the smooth quoting and booking process to the completion of the work, everything was handled seamlessly. Despite it being a particularly messy job, the worksite was left spotless when they were done. I can’t fault their service and would happily recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and professional plumbers in our area!
