The same drain keeps blocking? The pipe is usually damaged
A drain that blocks again a few weeks after it was cleared usually has a crack, an open joint or roots growing in. Clearing it buys time. Relining seals the cracks and joints from the inside, so roots can't get back in.
How pipe relining works
Camera first
A CCTV camera goes down the line and shows where the damage is and how long the bad section runs. You see the footage.
Clean it out
A jet blaster cuts out the roots and scale so the liner sits tight.
Line it
A resin-soaked liner goes in through an existing opening and cures hard against the old pipe: a new pipe inside the old one, with no joints for roots to find.
Check it
The camera goes back down so you can see the finished pipe, then water is run through to test the flow.
Drain relining, sewer relining, stormwater relining
Drain relining and pipe relining are the same job: a new pipe cured inside the old one. It works on sewer lines, house drains and stormwater pipes, and suits the clay and earthenware pipes still under many homes in Brunswick, Northcote, Preston, Heidelberg, Ivanhoe, Kew and Hawthorn, where the joints have opened with age and the roots have found them. It saves lifting paving, decks, driveways and established gardens.
When relining won't work
A pipe that has collapsed, or sags so far that water sits in it, can't be relined. That section is dug up and replaced, and the rest of the line can still be relined. The camera shows which you have before you agree to anything. See drain repairs.
Price before the work starts
The price depends on the length of pipe, its size and how many junctions it has, so it's quoted once the camera has been down. You get the price before the work starts, and the plumber who quotes does the job. Pensioners and seniors get 10% off.

Pipe relining questions
Is relining cheaper than digging up the pipe?
Often, once you count putting back the paving, the driveway or the garden. The liner goes in through an existing opening, so there is usually no digging. You get the options and a price for each after the camera inspection.
Will tree roots get back in?
The relined section has no joints, so roots have nothing to grow into. Roots can still get into parts of the line that weren't relined, which is why the camera checks the whole run.
