EKORP Plumbing specialise in pipe relining and we have the expertise in repairing damaged or broken pipes without the need for excavation. Pipe relining involves the installation of a liner inside an existing damaged or broken pipe to repair it, rather than replacing the entire pipe.
Pipe relining is a cost-effective and less disruptive alternative to traditional pipe repair methods that require excavation and replacement. This method involves the insertion of a flexible liner into the damaged pipe, which is then inflated and cured in place to create a new pipe within the old one. Before beginning the pipe relining process, we will first inspect the pipe using CCTV cameras and identify areas of damage, blockage, or corrosion.
Before relining a pipe, we use high-pressure water jetting or other methods to clean the inside of the pipe and remove any debris or buildup.

The Pipe Relining Process Explained
Our pipe relining process follows a methodical approach to ensure lasting results without the disruption of traditional excavation methods.
Initial Assessment and Preparation
Every successful pipe relining project begins with a thorough inspection:
CCTV Pipe Inspection
Our pipe relining Sydney specialists use advanced camera systems to thoroughly examine the interior condition of damaged pipes. This allows us to identify the exact locations and severity of cracks, breaks, root intrusions, and joint separations before commencing work.
Professional Cleaning
High-pressure water jetting removes all debris, scale, and obstructions from the pipe interior. This essential step in our pipe relining services ensures proper adhesion of the liner to the host pipe, creating a smooth, clean surface for installation.
Precise Measurements
Our pipe relining technicians take detailed measurements to determine the exact dimensions of the custom liner required for your specific pipe configuration, ensuring a perfect fit.
Installation of the Pipe Liner
Our specialised relining process creates a seamless new pipe within the old one:
Custom Liner Preparation
We prepare a resin-saturated liner specifically sized for your pipe diameter and length. The flexible tube is impregnated with high-quality epoxy resin that will create the new pipe structure once cured.
Minimally Invasive Insertion
Using existing access points such as manholes or small access pits, our pipe relining Sydney team inserts the liner into the damaged pipe, eliminating the need for extensive excavation across your property.
Controlled Inflation
Once positioned correctly, the liner is inflated with compressed air, pressing it firmly against the interior walls of the existing pipe and forming a seamless new surface.
Advanced Curing Process
Depending on the specific pipe relining technique employed, the resin is cured using ambient temperature, hot water, or UV light. This hardening process typically takes 3-4 hours, creating a durable new pipe within the old one.
Final Inspection and Certification
We verify the quality of every pipe relining job:
Post-Relining CCTV Inspection
After curing is complete, our pipe relining specialists conduct another camera inspection to verify the quality of the installation and document the completed work.
Flow Testing
We perform flow testing to ensure the relined pipe provides optimal hydraulic performance, often better than the original pipe due to the smooth, jointless interior surface.
Certification Documentation
All our pipe relining services include detailed certification of the completed work, including video footage and warranty information for your records.
Applications of Pipe Relining
Our pipe relining technology can address a wide range of pipe problems in residential properties:

Benefits of Choosing Pipe Relining
Modern pipe relining offers numerous advantages over traditional excavation and replacement methods:
Property Preservation Benefits
Pipe relining protects your property investment:
No Excavation Damage
Unlike traditional pipe replacement, our pipe relining cost is significantly lower when considering landscape restoration. Gardens, driveways, patios, and other features remain undisturbed.
Minimal Access Requirements
In most cases, we need only one or two access points to complete the entire pipe relining process, typically using existing inspection openings or small access pits.
Reduced Restoration Costs
With minimal disruption to your property, you'll save significantly on landscape restoration, concrete repairs, and other post-repair expenses typically associated with pipe replacement.
Structural Advantages
Relined pipes often outperform their original counterparts:
Superior Flow Capacity
The smooth, jointless interior of relined pipes typically improves flow capacity compared to aging pipes with joints, scale, and rough surfaces.
Increased Structural Strength
Our pipe relining creates a new structural pipe within the old one, often with greater strength than the original pipe had when new.
Root Intrusion Prevention
The seamless nature of relined pipes eliminates joints where root intrusion typically occurs, preventing future blockages from tree root penetration.
Long-Term Value
Pipe relining represents a wise long-term investment:
Extended Service Life
Our pipe relining services provide a new pipe expected to last 50+ years, often outlasting traditional replacement pipes.
Reduced Future Problems
The smooth interior surface of relined pipes reduces the likelihood of blockages and makes future maintenance easier if ever needed.
Transferable Warranty
Our pipe relining work comes with comprehensive warranties that can be transferred to new owners if you sell your property, adding value to your home.

Comparing Pipe Relining Cost with Traditional Methods
Understanding the true cost comparison helps homeowners make informed decisions:
Direct Cost Comparison
While upfront costs may appear comparable, the total project cost tells a different story:
Labour Cost Efficiency
Pipe relining requires fewer labour hours than excavation methods, typically resulting in 30-40% savings on labour costs alone.
Equipment and Material Considerations
While the specialised materials used in pipe relining may cost more than basic replacement pipes, the elimination of heavy excavation equipment and restoration materials balances the equation.
Project Timeline Economics
Pipe relining projects are typically completed in 1-2 days compared to the week or more often required for excavation projects, reducing disruption costs to your household.
Hidden Cost Avoidance
Pipe relining eliminates many hidden costs of traditional methods:
Landscape Preservation
The pipe relining cost advantage becomes more apparent when considering the thousands often required to restore gardens, replant mature vegetation, and repair irrigation systems damaged during excavation.
Hardscape Protection
Driveways, paths, retaining walls, and other hardscape features remain intact with pipe relining, eliminating expensive reconstruction costs.
Structural Safeguarding
Building foundations, pools, and other structural elements near damaged pipes face no risk of undermining or damage with our non-invasive pipe relining methods.
Long-Term Economic Benefits
The value of pipe relining extends well beyond the initial repair:
Increased Property Value
Modern relined pipes can be a selling point when marketing your property, demonstrating proactive maintenance and updated infrastructure.
Reduced Future Maintenance
The smooth, root-resistant nature of relined pipes typically results in fewer blockages and maintenance issues over their lifespan.
Extended Service Intervals
Properly relined pipes typically require less frequent inspection and maintenance than traditional pipes with multiple joints and connections.
Frequently Asked Questions About Pipe Relining
Common questions about our pipe relining services
What exactly is pipe relining and how does it compare to traditional pipe replacement methods?
Pipe relining creates a new pipe within your existing damaged pipe without excavation. A flexible resin-saturated liner is inserted and cured in place, forming a seamless, durable new pipe. Unlike traditional methods requiring extensive digging, pipe relining Sydney services preserve landscapes and structures while providing a solution that often outlasts conventional replacement pipes.
How can I tell if my pipes are suitable candidates for pipe relining services?
Most damaged pipes 40mm-300mm in diameter are suitable for relining. Good candidates include pipes with cracks, fractures, root intrusion, joint displacement, or minor collapses. Our pipe relining specialists use CCTV inspection to determine suitability. Some situations requiring pipe relining Sydney expertise include recurring blockages, slow drainage, or subsidence near pipe locations.
What is the typical pipe relining cost compared to excavation methods?
While pipe relining may seem comparable in initial costs, the total project expense is typically 20-40% lower than excavation methods when accounting for all factors. Pipe relining cost advantages include eliminated landscape restoration, reduced labour hours, shorter project timelines, and minimal disruption to your property. We provide detailed quotes comparing both approaches for your specific situation.
How long does the pipe relining process take from start to finish?
Most residential pipe relining projects are completed within 1-2 days. The actual curing time for the liner is typically 3-4 hours, but preparation, installation, and final inspection add to the timeline. This compares favourably to traditional excavation methods, which often require 5-7 days or more for completion and restoration. Our pipe relining Sydney team will provide a specific timeline for your project.
What kind of warranty do you offer on your sewer pipe relining work?
Our sewer pipe relining carries a comprehensive 10-year installation warranty, covering materials and workmanship. The structural liners themselves have an expected lifespan of 50+ years. This warranty is transferable to new owners if you sell your property. As established pipe relining specialists, we stand behind our work with confidence based on thousands of successful installations.
Can pipe relining resolve issues with tree root intrusion in sewer pipes?
Yes, pipe relining creates a seamless, jointless pipe specifically designed to prevent future root intrusion. Our pipe relining services include thorough root removal before installation. The cured liner creates an impenetrable barrier that eliminates the joints and cracks where roots typically enter. This makes pipe relining one of the most effective long-term solutions for properties with tree root problems.
Is pipe relining environmentally friendly compared to traditional methods?
Pipe relining is significantly more environmentally responsible than excavation methods. The process uses fewer resources, creates less waste, preserves existing landscapes and trees, and reduces the carbon footprint associated with heavy excavation equipment. Our pipe relining Sydney team uses eco-friendly resins whenever possible while still maintaining structural integrity and performance standards.
How does pipe relining affect the internal diameter and flow capacity of my pipes?
The minimal thickness of modern liners (3-5mm) has negligible impact on pipe diameter. Counterintuitively, flow often improves after pipe relining because the new surface is significantly smoother than aged, scaled pipes with joints and imperfections. Our pipe relining services typically restore or even improve flow capacity while providing the structural benefits of a brand new pipe.
Can all types of pipe damage be addressed with sewer pipe relining?
While pipe relining resolves most pipe issues, severe cases like completely collapsed pipes, pipes with multiple dramatic bends, or pipes with diameter reductions may require traditional methods for portions of the repair. Our pipe relining specialists can often combine techniques, using relining for suitable sections and minimally invasive excavation only where absolutely necessary to provide the most cost-effective solution.
How soon can we use our plumbing system after pipe relining has been completed?
Most residential pipe relining projects allow for same-day return to service. The typical curing time is 3-4 hours, after which the pipe is fully functional. Our pipe relining Sydney technicians will provide specific guidance based on your particular installation. This quick return to service represents another significant advantage over traditional methods that may leave plumbing systems unusable for several days.
