Pipe Replacement Sydney
When a pipe is collapsed or too far gone to reline, we replace it properly, from stormwater and gutter lines through to sewer, and reinstate the site when the work is done.
We reline where we can and replace where we must.

When a pipe needs replacing
Most damaged pipes can be repaired with trenchless relining, but some are past saving. When a pipe has collapsed, been crushed or lost its shape, there is nothing left to line, so it has to be dug up and replaced.
We always check with a camera first. If relining will work we will tell you, because it is cheaper and less disruptive. When replacement is the only sound option, we excavate, replace the failed section and reinstate the ground properly.

Replace or reline?
We only replace when relining will not do the job.
| Pipe replacement | Pipe relining | |
|---|---|---|
| Use when | Pipe is collapsed or deformed | Pipe is cracked but intact |
| Digging | Yes, targeted excavation | None in most cases |
| Site reinstated | Yes, after the work | Not needed |
| We recommend it | Only when relining cannot work | Wherever the pipe suits it |

Often relining is enough. We camera the pipe first and only recommend replacement when the pipe is collapsed or too deformed to line. You get the cheaper, less disruptive option whenever it is possible.

We keep excavation as targeted as possible and reinstate the ground once the new pipe is tested. Where access is hard we will discuss the options before starting.
