Our Core Plumbing Services
Blocked Drains
A blocked drain can turn your day upside down — slow sinks, bad smells, overflowing drains, or gurgling noises can leave you feeling helpless. Our team uses advanced equipment to quickly locate the blockage and clear it safely, restoring your drains with minimal disruption.
Whether it’s tree roots, grease build-up, cracked pipes, foreign objects, or stormwater issues, we diagnose and fix it fast.
CCTV Camera Inspections
Instead of guessing what’s happening underground, we use high-definition CCTV drain cameras to see the exact condition of your pipes.
This allows us to:
- Identify cracks, breaks, and root intrusions
- Spot build-ups or sagging pipes
- Provide accurate quotes and long-term repair solutions
- Prevent future plumbing issues before they become expensive repairs
A CCTV inspection is one of the smartest investments you can make in your home’s plumbing system.
Pipe Relining (No-Dig Pipe Repair)
Digging up gardens, driveways, or floors to fix pipes is a thing of the past. Pipe relining is a modern, trenchless repair method that restores damaged pipes from the inside, saving you time, mess, and thousands in excavation costs.
We offer a full suite of relining options:
- Pipe Relining – Creates a new, durable inner pipe that seals cracks and prevents root intrusion.
- Patch Relining – Targets smaller damaged sections, avoiding the need to reline the entire pipe.
- Inversion Relining – Ideal for larger or more complex pipe systems, delivering a smooth and long-lasting internal lining.
Relining is fast, affordable, and built to last — often 50 years or more.

Frequently Asked Questions
Got a question?
We’ve got answers!
Find answers to common questions below, or or get in touch if you have a query that hasn’t been answered.
What areas of Adelaide do you service?
We proudly service all suburbs across Adelaide and the surrounding areas — from the city to the hills and the coast.
How do I know if my drains are blocked?
Slow drainage, gurgling sounds, unpleasant odours, or water backing up are common signs. If you notice any of these, it’s best to call us before the problem gets worse.
How often should I get my drains inspected?
We recommend a professional CCTV drain inspection every 2–3 years, especially for older properties or homes surrounded by trees. Ask our friendly team about our preventative maintenance program.
How do tree roots get into pipes?
Tree roots naturally seek moisture, and tiny cracks in old pipes let them in. Over time they can cause blockages or breaks — pipe relining is the perfect fix for this.
What should I do if I have a burst pipe?
Turn off your main water supply immediately and give us a call. We offer emergency plumbing across Adelaide and can arrive fast to prevent further damage.
Why does my toilet keep running?
That’s often due to a faulty inlet or outlet valve inside the cistern. Our plumbers can replace the part and stop that annoying noise (and water wastage).
What kinds of pipes can be relined?
Most types, including clay, PVC, concrete, cast iron, and earthenware pipes — typically used for sewer, stormwater, or drainage lines.
When should I consider pipe relining?
When pipes are cracked, leaking, root-infested, or corroded — but still structurally intact enough for relining rather than full replacement.
Is relining as strong as new pipework?
Yes. Properly installed liners meet or exceed Australian Standard AS/NZS 2566.1 for structural performance.
Can you reline only a section of pipe?
Yes — sectional relining targets only the damaged area, saving money compared to full-length relining.
Can relining fix bends, junctions, or T-sections?
Yes — specialised liners can reline around bends and junctions using robotic cutting tools.
What is inversion pipe relining?
Inversion relining is a trenchless pipe repair method where a resin-coated liner is “inverted” (turned inside-out) into the damaged pipe using air or water pressure. This process presses the liner firmly against the pipe walls, forming a seamless, watertight “pipe within a pipe.”
How is inversion relining different from pull-in-place relining
- Inversion relining: The liner is blown or inverted into the pipe, allowing it to conform tightly to bends and joints.
- Pull-in-place relining: The liner is pulled through and inflated at each end.
Inversion is generally faster, more uniform, and better for long or complex pipe runs.
What types of pipes can be relined with inversion?
Most household and commercial drain pipes — including clay, PVC, cast iron, copper, and concrete — can be relined with inversion.
Can inversion relining handle bends and junctions?
Yes — inversion liners can easily pass through multiple 45° or even 90° bends, making them ideal for older or complex pipe systems.
What pipe sizes can be relined this way?
Typically from 50mm to 300mm diameter for residential or light commercial systems. Larger diameters can also be relined with industrial-grade inversion systems.
Is it worth it compared to replacing pipes?
Yes — it avoids excavation damage, and often costs 30–50% less overall once restoration costs are factored in.
How long will the relined pipe last?
Inversion liners typically last 50 years or more, and most systems are tested to meet or exceed AS/NZS 2566.1 structural standards.
Is the new lining stronger than the old pipe?
Yes — the cured liner forms a new structural pipe inside the old one, resistant to corrosion, roots, and cracking.
Is inversion relining environmentally friendly?
Yes — it reduces waste, avoids digging and soil disposal, and prevents leaks that can contaminate soil or groundwater.
