Guide · Adelaide
Both fix a damaged drain. Which one your pipe needs comes down to its condition, its length, the access points and what sits above it.
Tell us
Relining puts a new pipe inside the old one, through an existing opening. Replacement digs the old pipe out and lays new pipe. Where the old pipe still holds its shape, relining usually suits. Where a section has collapsed or sags badly, that section gets dug and replaced.
Cracked earthenware, joints with roots growing in, and pipe that has moved a little at the joints but still holds its round shape. A liner seals the joints, so roots lose their way in.
A collapsed section, a dip deep enough to hold water along the line, or pipe so broken the liner has nothing to form against. We keep the dig to the failed section, and the rest can often be relined.
Has the pipe been on camera? What length is damaged, and where are the access points? What sits above it: lawn, a path, a driveway, a slab? Ask for the repair, the camera work and any clearing as separate items, so you can compare like with like.
Background: Adelaide’s reactive soils and earthenware pipe.
