A broken pipe, or one that keeps blocking
Roots back every few months, a smell along the line, a soft patch in the lawn, sewage at the gully. Each points to a pipe that has cracked or moved, and each starts with a look at the pipe itself.

Relining or repairing a 70-year-old Gilles Plains drain
After seven decades in reactive clay, an earthenware drain can have cracked sections, roots through several joints, or a length that has sagged. Some Gilles Plains homes have had extensions, carports and paving added over the line since the 1950s. We find the cause first, then assess whether the pipe suits relining or needs a section replaced.
Where the pipe suits relining, a liner goes in through an existing opening and covers the damaged joints from inside, without lifting the paving above. Where one section has broken, a short dug repair replaces it. We quote the fix before we start.
Camera first, then the method
The camera shows the length of damage, the pipe’s material and shape, and the access points. That decides the fix. You see the evidence before you’re asked to choose.
FAQ
Pipe relining in Gilles Plains questions
Got another question? Call us and we’ll talk it through.
Can you reline a drain in Gilles Plains?
Where the pipe suits relining, yes. We look at your Gilles Plains drain on camera first, then quote relining, or a short dug repair where a section has failed.
Does a drain that keeps blocking need relining?
It needs a look first. Clearing, a short dug repair, relining or a new section are all options, and the camera shows which one the pipe needs before you’re quoted.
How does pipe relining work?
Where the pipe suits relining, a resin-soaked liner goes in through an existing opening and cures inside the old pipe, forming a new pipe within it. The garden, driveway or path above stays where it is.
Relining or a dug repair: what decides it?
The pipe’s condition, its length, the access points and what sits above it. A collapsed or badly sagging section is dug out and replaced. Cracked or root-entered pipe that still holds its shape often suits a liner.
