Pipe Relining in Mandurah
Pipe relining in Mandurah fixes sewer and stormwater lines from the inside, so there is no trench to pump out on a waterfront block. We check the line on camera first and hand you the recording, which matters when the property is a holiday home or a rental you are not standing in.

No open trench
The liner goes in where the pipe can already be reached.
Roots 26 metres down a shared line between two units
- Mandurah
- Pair of units
- Roots at 26 m
- Pull-in reline
A pair of units in Mandurah kept blocking. We jetted the line and ran the camera, and found roots getting in about 26 metres downstream, behind the second unit, where the pipe also had a hole in it.
- The camera went in again after jetting to pin down exactly where the roots were entering.
- The nearest access point was a shaft in the neighbour's backyard, so the liner was pulled in from there.
- One liner sealed both the root entry and the hole, with no trench across either unit's yard.
Why digging up a sewer on a canal block is harder
Mandurah is built around the estuary and its canals, and on a lot of blocks the pipe is not far from the water. Replacing it the traditional way means a trench, and near the water a trench brings its own problems.
Groundwater
Close to the water it sits near the surface, so a sewer-depth trench can fill and has to be pumped before work starts.
Loose sand
The sides will not stand on their own, so a narrow pipe needs a wide, shored hole.
Paved to the waterline
Waterfront blocks are often paved from the house to the jetty, and that paving sits on top of the line.
Holiday homes and rentals: see the pipe without being there
Plenty of Mandurah homes belong to people who live somewhere else: a weekender, a holiday rental or an investment property. When the drain backs up, you are deciding on a repair you cannot see. The camera solves that.
- The CCTV inspection recording is handed to you, so you see the fault yourself.
- The written scope says what is being relined, from where to where.
- The camera runs again after the reline, and you get that footage too.

How a Mandurah relining job runs
The camera goes in from an existing access point. The line is cleaned, then the liner goes in and cures in place against the old wall. Older homes may have clay sewer pipe that fails at the joints; newer PVC with one fault often suits patch relining. Shared lines under units are covered on strata pipe relining.
Each step is set out in how pipe relining works, and what moves the price is on our pipe relining cost page. For the other areas we cover, see our service areas.
