Blocked Drains Greensborough

A faster, more affordable solution for damaged sewer pipes

Greensborough is a northern suburb located approximately 20 kilometres north-east of Melbourne’s CBD, with much of its housing stock dating back to the 1950s through to the 1970s. Many homes in the area still have their original clay sewer pipes, which are now well past the 50-year mark and prone to cracking, root intrusion, and joint failure.

The suburb’s proximity to the Plenty River corridor and its extensive tree coverage make root intrusion a particularly common issue. The hilly terrain also contributes to ground movement that places additional stress on ageing pipes over time.

Greensborough falls under Banyule City Council and is serviced by Yarra Valley Water. Drain Fixers regularly services the area and offers fast response times and long-lasting pipe relining solutions for local residents.

What sewer pipe relining involves?

Relining sewer pipes, rather than digging and replacing them, offers a more cost-effective and fast method of pipe repair. Instead of disrupting everybody’s life and excavating ground, our expert team can simply feed a camera through your pipes, locate the site of damage, and internally reline that pipe so that it is permanently fixed.

There’s no mess, and takes little time to complete. Residents and workers at the location experience less disruption and downtime, so it’s a win-win for everyone.

What’s involved in relining sewer pipes?

Pipe relining solutions offer a revolutionary, ‘no dig’ method of sewer pipe repair to property owners and managers in Greensborough and surrounding areas. The process involves filling the damaged section of sewer pipe with a special resin, which after a short amount of time, sets into the exact size and shape of the existing pipe. The result? A new section of pipe that’s long-lasting. Here’s some more detail on the process:

We feed a CCTV camera into your drain to get an accurate picture of where the pipe is damaged, how far the damage has progressed, and what the cause is. This HD camera also shows us any issues within the sewer pipe we may not have been aware of, so those can also be addressed. For example, if there’s damage caused by an obstacle in the pipe, such as a tree root or foreign object, we may need to use diamond-head robotic cutters to clear the pipe before we can reline it.
We then use high-pressure water jets to clean the pipe so it’s clear for drain relining.
We prepare a new pipe liner by filling it with resin, inserting a deflated bladder into the liner, and then inserting the liner into the damaged pipe.
When we’ve positioned the liner into the correct position, the bladder expands the liner to form the shape of the new pipe (a new pipe within the damaged pipe).
The resin cures to form a permanent replacement pipe. After that, we remove the bladder so that the pipe can be immediately used. The drain repair is complete.

The whole drain relining process is completed quickly, and can be done in multiple locations within the drain if more than one pipe repair is needed.
