Pipe relining in Maroubra
Drain keeps blocking with roots, or the camera shows a cracked sewer pipe? Pipe relining seals the damage from the inside, usually without digging up your yard, driveway or paving. We inspect the pipe with a CCTV camera first, show you the footage, and give you a fixed price before any work starts. We're based in nearby Matraville.
How relining works
- Camera inspection: we find every crack, root entry and damaged joint, and where it is.
- Clean: roots and build-up are cut out with a high-pressure jetter.
- Reline: a resin liner is set inside the pipe over the damage.
- Check: once it's cured, a final camera run confirms the result.
Patch relining
A short liner over one or two damaged joints. Ideal where roots get in at one spot in an otherwise sound pipe.
Full relining
A continuous liner along the whole run, for old clay lines with many cracked joints.
Relining in Maroubra homes
Many houses in South Maroubra and North Maroubra still have their original clay sewer lines, often running under driveways, paved courtyards and established gardens. Roots from yard and street trees get into the joints, and the sandy coastal soil lets pipes shift and crack over time. Relining fixes the pipe without lifting the paving or digging through the garden, which is why it suits so many Maroubra homes.
When relining isn't the answer
If a pipe has collapsed, sagged badly or can't be reached from an access point, a section may need to be dug up and replaced. The camera shows us which, and we'll tell you straight. Often the rest of the line can still be relined.

Common questions
Can you reline under my driveway in Maroubra?
Yes. That's where relining saves the most, because nothing needs to be lifted or broken.
How long does relining take?
Most patch relining jobs are done in a day, including the camera inspection and cleaning.
Will roots grow back through a relined pipe?
No. The liner seals the joints and cracks roots get in through.
Do I need a camera inspection first?
Yes. It shows exactly where the damage is and whether the pipe can be relined.
