Why Pipe Relining Can Be Ideal For Blocked Sewer Pipes

Broadbeach is one of the Gold Coast’s most dynamic suburbs, home to a mix of high-rise residential towers, older low-rise apartment blocks built in the 1970s and 80s, and a smaller number of original freestanding homes. Many of these older buildings still rely on their original clay or cast iron drainage systems, which are now 40 to 50 years old and well past their design life.

In multi-storey and strata buildings, ageing drainage systems are particularly vulnerable to cracking, joint separation, and grease build-up from years of high-use plumbing. In Broadbeach’s older freestanding properties, tree root intrusion is a common culprit, with the Gold Coast’s subtropical climate and established street trees accelerating the rate at which roots seek out and infiltrate deteriorating pipe joints.

The result can be recurring blocked drains that won’t go away no matter how many times they’re cleared. The good news? These pipes are excellent candidates for pipe relining. We can seal cracks, failing joints, and root entry points permanently, from the inside, without any excavation, damage to common property, or disruption to building residents.

Clearing Blocked Drains in Broadbeach

Not every blocked drain requires relining, sometimes a thorough clean is all that’s needed. SEQ Pipe Works uses high-pressure water jetting (hydro jetting) to blast through even the most stubborn blockages.

Unlike old-fashioned drain snakes, hydro jetting cleans the full pipe wall, not just punching a hole through the blockage, making it far more effective and longer-lasting. If a blockage keeps coming back, a CCTV inspection will tell us why, and pipe relining will fix it for good.

What Is Pipe Relining and How Does It Work?

Pipe relining is a revolutionary no-dig repair method that creates a new pipe inside your existing damaged one. Here’s how our pipe relining process works:

1

CCTV Drain Inspection

We feed a high-resolution drain camera through your pipes to pinpoint exactly where the damage is, what caused it, and what condition the pipe is in throughout. You can view the CCTV footage yourself and receive a clear, same-day diagnosis.

2

Pipe Cleaning

We use high-pressure water jetting to thoroughly clean the pipe, removing any debris, roots, scale, or build-up so the liner can bond correctly to the pipe wall.

3

Liner Preparation & Insertion

A flexible liner saturated with epoxy resin is inserted into the damaged pipe and positioned precisely over the affected area.

4

Inflation & Curing

The liner is inflated, pressing the resin firmly against the pipe walls. The resin cures and hardens, forming a strong, seamless new pipe within the old one.

5

Final CCTV Check

We carry out a post-relining camera inspection to confirm the liner has bonded correctly and the pipe is fully sealed. The result is a pipe that’s structurally stronger than the original, root-resistant, and rated to last 50 years or more.

The Benefits of Pipe Relining

There’s no need to excavate, which results in less mess and disruption to lawns and gardens. (It’s also quieter, which is a win for residents and businesses).
Relined pipes are durable, and have a long life expectancy.
The liner ensures there are no seams or joints. Eliminating joints reduces the possibility of leaks and ensures roots don’t intrude through seam gaps.
The inner surface of the relined pipe is smooth and non-porous, so it resists the build up of residue.
Pipe relining costs less than excavation and pipe replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my pipe a good candidate for relining, or does it need to be replaced entirely?

Most damaged pipes including those with cracks, root intrusion, corroded joints, or minor collapses are suitable for pipe relining. We carry out a CCTV inspection first to assess the pipe and will always give you an honest recommendation before proceeding.

What types of pipes and drains can be relined?

We can reline sewer lines, stormwater drains, junctions, long sewer mains, and inspection shafts across a range of pipe materials including clay, PVC, cast iron, and concrete. Not sure if your pipe qualifies? Give us a call and we’ll advise you.

What resin or liner materials do you use, and are they safe?

We use high-quality epoxy resin liners engineered for plumbing applications. Once cured, the liner is non-toxic, structurally strong, and fully compliant with Australian plumbing standards.

How does the pipe relining process work from start to finish?

We start with a CCTV inspection, then clean the pipe using high-pressure water jetting. The resin-saturated liner is inserted, inflated, and cured in place. A final CCTV inspection confirms the repair before we leave the site.

Can pipe relining be used on pipes under concrete slabs or driveways?

It sure can and this is one of its biggest advantages. Because relining is completely trenchless, we can repair pipes beneath concrete, tiled floors, and driveways without breaking anything up, saving significant time and cost.

How do I know the relining has worked? Is there a guarantee?

Every job is followed by a post-installation CCTV inspection to confirm the liner has bonded correctly. Our work is backed by a workmanship guarantee, and the epoxy liner is rated to last 50+ years under normal conditions.

Is pipe relining safe for older homes with ageing pipe systems?

Yes, pipe relining is actually ideal for older homes where pipes may be brittle or difficult to access. Rather than risking further damage by digging around aged pipework, the relining process reinforces the existing pipe from the inside without putting any stress on the surrounding infrastructure.

How much does pipe relining cost compared to pipe replacement?

While relining has a higher material cost, it’s almost always more cost-effective overall as it eliminates excavation with no breaking up concrete, no landscaping restoration, and less labour. We provide transparent, obligation-free quotes so you can make a fully informed decision.
