Reline Straight answers before you hire
Plain answers to the questions people actually ask before booking this work, from a team that does it properly.
Choosing who touches your drains
What to check before you approve anything: the footage, the licence, and the red flags this trade is famous for.
How to read a CCTV drain report, and spot the ones that are just invoices
What a real drain survey shows, the questions that expose a fake one, and why you should never approve thousands of dollars without the footage.
Read the guide →Licensing, Sydney Water and whose pipe it actually is
Drainage is licensed work in NSW. Who is allowed to reline your sewer, where your pipe ends and Sydney Water begins, and how to check both.
Read the guide →Pricing, honestly
The rate card, the worked examples, and how to compare a relining quote against excavation and against other quotes.
What pipe relining costs in Sydney in 2026, from a published rate card
The real numbers: setup plus a per metre rate, junction pricing, worked examples at 5m, 10m and 15m, and the market band a fair quote lands in.
Read the guide →Relining or digging: an honest comparison
When trenchless wins, when excavation is genuinely the right call, and how to price the two fairly once the garden is in the sum.
Read the guide →How relining is done
Camera, clean, line, prove: what happens on the day, and which repair fits which fault.
Patch or full reline: which repair does your drain actually need?
One fault is a patch from $2,500. A failing line is a full reline. How the camera decides, and why patching a failing line is paying twice.
