A plumber said I need relining and I'd like to understand what that actually means.
I've been quoted for excavation and something about it doesn't sit right. There must be another way.
You heard about no-dig pipe repair and want to know if it's actually as good as it sounds
Drain relining works by inserting a flexible resin-coated liner into your existing damaged pipe. Once it’s in position, it’s inflated and cured, hardening into a smooth, seamless new pipe inside the old one. The whole thing happens through an access point. No trenches, no excavation, no mess. And the new liner typically outlasts the original pipe by decades.
We send a camera through first to assess the damage, confirm the pipe dimensions, and check that relining is the right call. You see exactly what we see.
The pipe is jet blasted clean before the liner goes in, so the resin bonds to a clean surface and the seal is solid.
The resin-infused liner is fed into the pipe through an access point. No digging. No disruption to your property.
The liner is inflated to press against the pipe walls and left to cure. Depending on the method, this takes a few hours.
Camera goes back in to confirm the liner has set correctly and the pipe is sealed. You see the before and after. Then we're done.
Many drainage problems are caused by deteriorating or damaged underground pipes rather than simple surface blockages.
Some of the most common warning signs include:
If your drains repeatedly block despite previous clearing attempts, the underlying pipework may be cracked, misaligned, or damaged by tree roots.
Water backing up into toilets after flushing can indicate a serious obstruction or damaged sewer line.
If you hear unusual noises from sinks, basins, or toilets, trapped air inside the drainage system may suggest pipe damage or restricted flow.
Water, toilet paper, or sewage appearing outside near drainage overflow points can indicate serious underground drainage issues.
Sections of grass growing faster or appearing greener than the surrounding areas may suggest underground leaks from damaged sewer or stormwater pipes.
Professional drain inspections can help determine whether pipe relining is a suitable solution for the issue.

Drain relining offers several advantages compared to traditional pipe excavation and replacement methods.
Pipe relining is generally a much cleaner repair solution because it avoids the need for extensive digging throughout the property.
Traditional excavation can damage lawns, gardens, pathways, and outdoor areas. Drain relining significantly reduces disruption to landscaping and surrounding structures.
Drain relining can often repair damaged sections beneath homes or buildings without disturbing foundations, slabs, or structural areas.
In many cases, homeowners would not even know repair work had been completed once the relining process is finished.
Access requirements for drain relining are often minimal, allowing liners to be inserted and cured through small entry points rather than large excavations.
Modern pipe relining materials are designed to provide long-term durability and reliable drainage performance.
In many situations, relined pipes can be stronger than some traditional replacement pipe materials due to the strength of the internal liner.
Unlike older drainage systems that contain multiple pipe joints, relined pipes form a continuous internal surface with no joints for tree roots to penetrate again.
This can help reduce the risk of future root intrusion and recurring blocked drain problems.
Before completing any relining work, Fix It Right Plumbing performs detailed drain inspections to accurately assess the condition of the pipework.
Using CCTV drain cameras, our plumbers can identify:

Drain relining is a great way to fix damaged pipes without digging up or damaging your property. Instead of digging up your garden, driveway or concrete, a new pipe lining is installed inside the existing damaged pipe, creating a strong, seamless new pipe from within.
The process typically involves:
A CCTV drain camera inspection is the best way to determine whether drain relining is suitable for your situation.
It depends on the condition of the pipe and the type of damage. In many cases, drain relining is an excellent alternative to traditional pipe replacement because it can repair damaged pipes without the need for extensive excavation.
Drain relining is often suitable for pipes with cracks, tree root damage, or minor structural defects, especially where digging would disrupt gardens, driveways, paving or buildings. However, if a pipe has completely collapsed, is severely misaligned, or has extensive structural damage, replacing the affected section may be the better long-term solution.
The best way to figure out what option is the right answer for your situation is to do a drain CCTV inspection. Our plumbers can spend some time investigating your drains and provide you with the best solution.
The only way to know for sure if your drain needs relining is to have it professionally inspected with a CCTV drain camera. This allows us to assess the condition of your pipes and determine whether relining is the best solution.
You may be a good candidate for drain relining if you’re experiencing:
-Recurring blocked drains.
– A garden you are proud of, and want to protect
-Tree roots repeatedly growing into your pipes.
-Cracked or damaged underground pipes.
-Slow-draining fixtures throughout your home.
-Leaking or broken sewer or stormwater drains.
If the pipe is structurally sound enough to support a new liner, drain relining can provide a long-lasting repair without the need to dig up your garden, driveway or landscaping. If the damage is too severe, we’ll recommend the most appropriate alternative and explain your options before any work begins.
The best way to confirm that drain relining has been successful is with a CCTV drain camera inspection. Once the liner has fully cured, your plumber will inspect the inside of the pipe to ensure the new liner is smooth, fully bonded and completely seals any cracks or damage.
