A real person answers, day or night

Why dig when the pipe can be renewed from inside?

Excavating a sewer beneath a mature fig or a Federation front garden costs far more than money. It costs decades of growth. Relining reaches the same fault from inside the pipe, which is why so many Greenwich homeowners now choose it first.

If you want the full picture of how we handle every kind of underground line, our drainage team covers the lot, from new installs to emergency chokes.

Preparing a liner to repair a pipe from the inside

Pipes under the point: a century of earthenware and roots

The sewers are as old as the houses

Federation bungalows and interwar double-brick homes near the village shops still run on the salt-glazed earthenware sewers laid when they were built, and a century of ground movement has cracked joints that a cured liner seals neatly from within.

Root pressure never stops

Brushbox and fig plantings on the older streets work their roots into every damp joint they can find, so a line cut clear once will be colonised again unless the entry points are sealed, which is precisely what a liner does.

Rock sits close beneath the surface

With shallow shale and rock under much of the peninsula, open-cut trenching is slow, messy and expensive, which tilts the economics of a buried pipe fault firmly toward relining before anyone reaches for a shovel.

Trenchless pipe relining services for the peninsula

Every relining job starts with the evidence, not a guess: a recorded camera pass through the line establishes exactly what has failed, where, and whether a liner is the right answer. That footage also tells us when a simple blocked drain clear will do.

Sewer relining

A resin-saturated liner is pulled or inverted through the damaged sewer, pressed hard against the old earthenware wall and cured into one seamless new pipe that seals shifted joints and root entries, restoring full flow along the pre-war runs beneath the point.

Root removal and relining

Intruding roots are cut back with mechanical cutters before lining begins, because sealing over live root mass only traps moisture against the pipe wall, and the cured liner denies fresh growth the cracked joints that invited the figs and brushbox in the first place.

Stormwater relining

Steep stormwater runs falling toward Gore Creek and the harbour benefit just as much as sewers, because a smooth relined wall speeds run-off off the ridge, resists scour during downpours and stops silt settling in the low junctions near the foreshore.

Patch and section repairs

Not every fault needs a full-length liner, so a short patch seals one cracked or displaced section, ideal where the camera survey shows isolated damage along an otherwise sound run beneath a driveway, patio or established garden bed.

Junction reinstatement

Lining a main seals over its branch connections until they are reopened, so each junction is cut back precisely with a robotic cutter after curing, restoring clean flow from every fixture line feeding the renewed sewer or stormwater pipe.

Steep runs, shallow rock and salt air

Long falls, single passes

Drainage drops steeply toward the water on both flanks of the peninsula, so private runs are long and continuous, and a liner installed in one pass suits that geometry far better than a chain of excavated repairs.

The house and strata mix matters

Freestanding homes on the point and apartment blocks toward the Pacific Highway edge present very different access problems, and relining solves both: no trench through a unit courtyard, no crane outside a Federation fence line.

Salt air punishes exposed metal, not cured resin

Homes down toward the water cop salt-laden wind that corrodes external fittings, but a cured liner is inert inside the pipe, so the renewed surface does not degrade the way patched metal or cement repairs can.

What goes wrong with old pipes around here

The faults that bring people to relining are rarely mysterious, and most have been building quietly for years. A proper CCTV drain inspection shows exactly which of these you are dealing with before any money is spent.

Repeat root blockages

A sewer choking every wet season usually means roots have colonised the joints rather than poked through one spot, and cutting alone buys only months, while relining removes the entry points permanently and keeps the line clear for decades.

Displaced earthenware joints

Earthenware pipes laid before the war were joined with rigid cement that tolerates no ground movement, so sections drift out of alignment over a century and waste catches at every lip, which a smooth cured liner bridges without any excavation.

Silt and scour damage

Long steep falls let storm flows scour the pipe walls and drop silt at low junctions, wearing channels into century-old material, and relining those runs restores a smooth graded surface that carries water cleanly instead of trapping debris.

Why relining matters for older pipes

Delay is the expensive option with a failing line, because the failure modes compound quietly underground:

  • Recurring chokes get worse, not better Every root regrowth cycle widens the cracks that invited the roots, and a line left to cycle eventually collapses, turning a relining job into an excavation.
  • A backed-up sewer damages the house Waste rising through gullies and floor wastes does immediate damage to floors and belongings, and a main that has reached that point needs our blocked sewer team before a liner can even be considered.
  • A sealed line protects the garden you paid for Trenchless repair keeps fig trees, established beds and heritage paths exactly where they are, which on the point's older blocks is worth more than the pipe repair itself.

How it works

The relining process, step by step

  1. 01

    Call and tell us

    Ring (02) 9072 0504 and describe what's happening, and a licensed plumber, not an answering machine, will tell you what it likely means, what to stop using, and when we can realistically be there.

  2. 02

    Quote before work

    Your plumber inspects the job properly, runs whatever diagnosis it genuinely needs, and hands you a single fixed written price covering the complete fix, with a $0 call out fee and nothing added afterwards.

  3. 03

    Jet, line and prove

    We high-pressure clean the line, confirm its condition on camera, then install the liner to the measured length and diameter, cure it in place and record a final pass proving the renewed pipe is watertight and flowing freely.

  4. 04

    Backed for life

    Everything we complete is covered by our Lifetime Labour Warranty, the promise that outlasts the job itself: if it's not right, we come back. No questions. No cost.

Why choose Your Plumber Greenwich

Fixed prices, kept

Every job is priced upfront in plain writing before any work starts, the invoice always matches that number, and weekend or late-evening timing changes nothing, because overtime rates simply don't exist here.

Licensed and insured

Your Plumber Greenwich works under licence #275278C with full insurance behind every job, and the compliance certificates that protect your home's paperwork trail arrive with the invoice, without you ever needing to ask for them.

Lifetime Labour Warranty

Workmanship here is guaranteed for life under our Lifetime Labour Warranty rather than for a warranty card's fine-print window, which says more about how the work is done in the first place than any advertisement could.

Genuinely local response

We work these streets constantly rather than commuting in from across Sydney, so the van reaching you has usually just left a job nearby, stocked for the faults the local houses actually develop.

Relining is not always the answer, and we will say so when it is not. Where a liner cannot bridge the damage, the same diagnosis feeds our drainage repair and installation work, so nothing gets sold twice.

Where our relining crews work

Our relining crews cover the peninsula and its neighbours, taking in Northwood, Wollstonecraft, St Leonards, Longueville and Waverton, with the trenchless approach suited equally to Federation-era streets under mature canopy and to the strata blocks along the highway edge.

Good questions, straight answers

Pipe relining questions Greenwich locals keep asking

How long does relined pipe last?

Quality relined pipe is engineered for roughly fifty years of service, and because the cured liner is seamless with no joints, the root entry points and shifted joints that plague old earthenware no longer exist.

Does relining reduce the pipe's capacity?

Modern liners are only millimetres thick, so a standard sewer keeps nearly all of its original capacity, and the smooth interior usually improves flow compared with the cracked, root-scarred earthenware it renews.

How long does the work take?

Most residential relining jobs finish within a day or two depending on length and access, and because there is no trenching, your garden, driveway and paths stay untouched from start to finish.

Is relining suitable for old earthenware pipes?

Yes, and it suits them particularly well, because pre-war earthenware with shifted joints and root intrusion is exactly the failure pattern relining was developed to fix, often saving lines that excavation would destroy.

How much does pipe relining cost?

Every job is priced individually after a camera inspection confirms the pipe's length, diameter and condition, and you receive one fixed written price before any work begins, with the call out costing nothing.

Do you guarantee relining work?

Every relining job is covered by our Lifetime Labour Warranty, so if anything about the renewed line is not right, we come back and sort it at no cost, without questions.
