Sewer and Pipe Relining Trafalgar

When relining beats a deep trench

If a camera shows a cracked or root-affected line that is otherwise in a fair line and grade, a structural liner can be installed from a pit and cured in place. Under a gravel drive or a long rural frontage, that can avoid a deep, messy trench. Not every pipe is a candidate. A collapsed or badly dropped section still needs to be dug. We show you the footage and quote a fixed price for the option you choose.

Footage before and after

You should see the line before the liner goes in and after it has cured. If the camera shows a defect that a liner cannot honestly cover, we stop and talk about a dug repair for that section only.

When we will not reline

We will not reline over a collapse, a badly dropped section, or a pipe so deformed that a liner cannot sit. In those cases a dug repair of the failed length, sometimes with a reline of the sound length either side, is the honest path. Under a gravel drive that can still be a smaller excavation than replacing the whole run. We show you the footage, mark the defect, and quote the work as a fixed price, including the later camera check. Call 03 8658 7379 with any previous footage you have; we still confirm with our own camera before we quote.

Cleaning and curing

A liner only sits well in a line that has been jetted and, where needed, root-cut first. We do that preparation, install, cure and camera again. If a branch or a junction needs a different approach, we will say so before the liner goes in. You get a record of before and after. Ring 03 8658 7379.

Rural frontages and drives

Under a long gravel drive or a paddock frontage, a reline from a pit can avoid a deep, messy trench, when the pipe is a good candidate. We will be honest if it is not. The visit includes the camera, the preparation, the liner, the cure and the after footage. Ring 03 8658 7379 and tell us if a drive or a shed sits over the line.

Asking the right question

The useful question is not 'can every pipe be relined' but 'is this pipe a good candidate'. We will answer that from the footage, not from a sales script. Ring 03 8658 7379.

After the liner

You get a record of the before and after footage and a clear account of any junction that still needs a different approach. Ring 03 8658 7379 if a later camera visit is needed for an authority or an insurer.

Trafalgar pipes at a glance

Trafalgar sits on the Princes Highway in Baw Baw Shire, postcode 3824, between Yarragon and Moe, with farmland, weatherboard houses and larger rural blocks spreading toward Thorpdale, Willow Grove, Narracan and Trafalgar East. Many homes here run a rainwater tank as well as, or instead of, a town supply, and a good number still have a septic system rather than a sewer. Water services can be long runs down a gravel drive, and earthenware or PVC drains pick up roots from paddock and roadside trees.

We use cameras, locators, pressure tests and acoustic leak detection so we can see the pipework before anyone cuts a wall or opens a trench in a paddock lawn.
