What Damages Pipes in Sydney Homes — Common Causes We Fix
Pipes are constantly under stress from the environment and age. If you're experiencing recurring blockages or slow drainage, the cause is likely one of these common pipe failures that pipe relining is designed to solve.Common Causes Of Pipe Relining Issues
Tree Root Intrusion
Roots seek out moisture and exploit even the smallest cracks, growing into the pipe and causing severe blockages and structural damage.
Ground Movement and Shifting Soil
Natural ground movement, heavy traffic, or nearby construction can cause pipes to shift, crack, or separate at the joints.
Corrosion and Age
Older pipes, particularly earthenware or cast iron, naturally deteriorate over time, leading to rust, crumbling, and weak points that fail under pressure.
Poor Installation or Joint Failure
Pipes that were incorrectly laid or have failed joints create weak spots where water leaks out and soil or debris can enter, leading to blockages.
Previous Poor Repairs
Temporary fixes or repeated high-pressure jetting without addressing the underlying structural issue can weaken the pipe further, leading to repeat failures.
Rectify Plumbing's 4-Step Trenchless Pipe Relining Process
Our process is designed for maximum efficiency and minimal impact on your property. We handle everything from diagnosis to final inspection, ensuring a fast, clean, and reliable repair every time.
Our Proven Process
CCTV Inspection and Diagnosis
We insert a high-definition camera to pinpoint the exact location and nature of the damage, allowing us to plan the repair with surgical precision.
High-Pressure Cleaning
The damaged pipe is thoroughly cleaned using high-pressure water jetting to remove all debris, blockages, and tree roots, preparing the surface for the new liner.
Liner Insertion and Curing
A custom-sized, resin-soaked liner is inserted into the pipe and inflated. The resin then cures (hardens) in place, forming a new, extremely durable, and seamless pipe structure.
Final Inspection and Warranty
We perform a final CCTV inspection to confirm the integrity of the new relined pipe, and then provide you with our 100% satisfaction guarantee and warranty documentation.
The result is a structurally sound, long-lasting pipe that is often stronger than the original. For related services, explore our expertise in Blocked Drains, Hot Water Systems, and Gas Fitting.

What is pipe relining and how does it work?
Pipe relining is a trenchless (no-dig) repair method that creates a new structural pipe inside your existing damaged pipe. The process:
(1) CCTV camera inspection to locate and assess the damage.
(2) High-pressure jet blasting to clean the pipe.
(3) A resin-saturated liner is pulled or inverted into position inside the pipe.
(4) The resin is cured (hardened) using ambient temperature or UV light to form a rigid, seamless new pipe. The result is a pipe-within-a-pipe rated for 50 years that permanently seals cracks, blocked joints, and tree root entry points — without digging up your property.
How much does pipe relining cost in Sydney?
Pipe relining costs in Sydney range from $500–$1,000 per metre for standard residential pipes (100mm diameter). A typical residential relining job costs $2,000–$6,000 depending on pipe length, diameter, access difficulty, and number of junctions. While this is more expensive upfront than jetting (which only clears roots temporarily), relining provides a 50-year structural warranty and eliminates repeat callout costs. Rectify Plumbing provides free CCTV assessments and fixed written quotes before any work begins. Call 0400 073 180.
Is pipe relining permanent? What is the warranty?
Yes — pipe relining is a permanent structural repair. The epoxy resin liner creates a new pipe within the old one with a structural integrity warranty of 50 years. It permanently eliminates tree root re-entry points, seals cracks and joint failures, and restores full pipe flow capacity. Unlike high-pressure jetting which only removes roots temporarily (they regrow within 12–24 months), relining prevents roots from re-entering the pipe for the life of the liner. Rectify Plumbing provides written warranty documentation for all relining work.
Can you reline pipes without digging up my garden or driveway?
Yes — that is the primary advantage of pipe relining. The entire process is completed through existing pipe access points (cleanout ports) or through small, discreet access points our team creates if needed. There is no need to excavate gardens, driveways, patios, or foundations. The finished job leaves your property exactly as it was found. This makes pipe relining particularly valuable for properties with established gardens, expensive paving, or landscaping that would cost tens of thousands to restore after traditional pipe replacement.
Do you offer pipe relining for strata and apartment buildings in Chatswood?
Yes — Rectify Plumbing provides commercial and strata pipe relining across Chatswood, the North Shore, and the Central Coast. Strata pipe relining is particularly cost-effective because shared sewer lines and stormwater drains in apartment buildings are often long (reducing the cost per metre), and the disruption of traditional pipe replacement to multiple residents and tenants is eliminated entirely. We provide strata managers with detailed CCTV inspection reports and written relining quotes. Call 0400 073 180.
