Long-Term Solutions for Damaged Drains

When a drain or sewer pipe is cracked, collapsed, or repeatedly clogging, a quick clean-out might not be enough – you need a proper repair. Continuous Plumbing specialises in Drain Repairs that restore the integrity of your drainage system. We combine skilled workmanship with modern repair techniques to fix underground pipes with minimal disruption.

Thorough Assessment of Drain Issues

Our process starts with a detailed inspection. Using CCTV drain cameras, we navigate through your pipes to pinpoint cracks, breaks, tree root intrusions, or sagging sections. This visual evidence allows us to determine the best repair approach. We’ll explain the situation and show you the footage if available, so you understand why the problem is occurring (for instance, old earthenware pipes can crack due to soil movement, or tree roots can infiltrate joints in search of water). Armed with this info, we recommend either a patch repair, pipe relining, or pipe replacement, depending on the severity of the damage.

No-Dig Pipe Relining

Wherever possible, we use trenchless relining technology to repair drains without excavating your property. Pipe relining involves inserting a special epoxy resin liner into the damaged section of pipe and curing it in place. The result is a new, tough inner pipe within the old one, sealing any cracks or holes. This method is ideal for fixing moderate damage or root-infested sections up to several meters long. It’s fast – often done in a day – and you won’t have to deal with dug-up lawns or broken driveways. Our relining materials are Australian-made and come with long warranties (often 25+ years), giving you peace of mind that the fix will last.

Expert Excavation and Replacement

In cases of severely collapsed drains or outdated pipes beyond relining, our team will perform a traditional dig-up and replacement. We handle all the heavy lifting: carefully excavating the area with minimal impact, removing the broken pipe, and installing new, durable PVC piping that meets modern standards. We then backfill and restore the surface as close as possible to its original condition. Continuous Plumbing takes care to coordinate any required permits or locates of underground utilities before excavation, ensuring the job is done safely and legally.

Preventative Measures and Follow-Up

After repairing your drains, we’ll share tips on keeping them in good shape. This may include periodic drain cleaning to combat tree roots (if you choose not to remove the tree) or advice on not planting deep-rooted shrubs near sewer lines. We stand by our repair work – if you experience any issues with the repaired section, we’ll come back to inspect and rectify it under our service guarantee. Our goal is to provide a permanent fix so you can put drain worries behind you.
