Traditionally, pipe relining involved a lot of disruption to properties, as it was necessary to dig up pipes to repair or reline them. At SXP Plumbing, we aim to offer the best service with the least amount of disruption, which is why we can offer no-dig solutions for patch pipe relining in some cases.
Our precise, four-step process ensures a flawless, long-lasting result:
The resin-saturated liner is inserted through a small access point, positioned over the damaged section, and inflated.
The resin cures and hardens (often assisted by hot water or steam), forming a tough, new pipe. A final CCTV inspection confirms the repair is complete and structurally perfect.
| Feature | Pipe Relining (Trenchless) | Traditional Excavation |
| Disruption | Minimal. Usually finished in one day. | Major. Requires large trenches and machinery. |
| Cost | Significantly lower, as no landscape restoration is needed. | High, due to extensive labour and restoration costs. |
| Durability | Creates a seamless, stronger pipe that resists tree roots. | Relies on joints, which are vulnerable to future root intrusion. |
| Landscaping | Preserved. No damage to gardens, driveways, or structures. | Destroyed or severely impacted. |
We use premium, certified Australian-made epoxy resins that are designed to last over five decades, providing you with absolute confidence in the durability of our Pipe Relining services.
We have extensive experience relining complex shared sewer systems in multi-unit strata blocks and commercial properties, ensuring minimal disruption to multiple residents or tenants.
After the initial CCTV diagnostic, we provide a detailed, fixed-price quote. You know the exact cost before we start, with no hidden excavation or restoration charges.
By avoiding excavation, we ensure that your manicured gardens, driveways, patios, and retaining walls remain completely untouched, saving you thousands in restoration costs and preserving your property's aesthetics.
We use local expertise and advanced relining techniques to eliminate the root intrusion problems that plague this area, giving you immediate relief and a guaranteed long-term solution.
Local expertise is crucial for successful Pipe Relining because any trenchless solution must account for local geology and building standards, which is why SXP Plumbing’s specialisation in the region ensures guaranteed results. For example, understanding the aggressive native tree species and challenging soil compositions, including unstable sandy coastal soil in the Pipe Relining Northern Beaches area, significantly impacts how we prepare and clean pipes and informs our choice of epoxy resin for maximum bonding and longevity. Furthermore, our familiarity with local authority requirements ensures that complex plumbing services involving shared sewer and stormwater lines remain compliant and are approved without unnecessary delays.
