Professional Pipe Relining Services Across Sydney
When drains crack, leak, or suffer root damage, traditional repairs meant excavating driveways, gardens, and even cutting through floors. Not anymore. Panther Plumbing Group's advanced pipe relining technology repairs damaged pipes from the inside—creating a seamless, jointless new pipe without a single shovel of dirt moved. Using CIPP (Cured-In-Place-Pipe) technology, we insert an epoxy-saturated liner into your existing drain, inflate it against the pipe walls, and cure it. The result is a brand new pipe inside the old one—stronger, smoother, and guaranteed for 50 years.
Zero Excavation Required
No digging up driveways, gardens, or floors. Access pipes through existing inspection points. Protects your property and landscaping completely.
50-Year Structural Warranty
Epoxy resin liner is stronger than original pipes. Seamless, jointless design eliminates weak points. Proven 50+ year service life.
Same-Day Completion
Most residential projects completed in 8-12 hours. Minimal disruption to your home or business. Drains back in service immediately.
60-70% Cost Savings
Dramatically cheaper than excavation. No demolition, backfill, or reinstatement costs. Saves thousands on concrete and landscaping repairs.
What Pipe Relining Fixes In Your Drains
Trenchless technology repairs damage traditional methods cannot
Cracked & Broken Pipes
SevereGround movement, tree roots, and age cause cracks and fractures in drain pipes. Pipe relining seals all cracks and creates a seamless new surface, preventing water infiltration and soil contamination.
Tree Root Intrusions
SevereTree roots penetrate joints and cracks seeking moisture. After hydro jetting removes roots, pipe relining creates a smooth, jointless barrier that prevents future root penetration for 50+ years.
Corroded & Deteriorated Pipes
ProgressiveOlder clay, concrete, and cast iron pipes corrode over decades. Relining completely rehabilitates deteriorated pipes without replacement, extending service life by 50 years at fraction of excavation cost.
Offset & Misaligned Joints
ModerateGround settling causes pipe sections to separate at joints, creating leaks and blockages. Relining bridges offset joints with continuous liner, eliminating weak points where roots enter.
Leaking Pipe Sections
ModerateHairline cracks and porous concrete allow sewage to leak into surrounding soil, contaminating gardens and groundwater. Relining creates waterproof barrier preventing all infiltration and exfiltration.
Collapsed Partial Sections
VariableMinor pipe collapses (less than 30% diameter reduction) can be relined to restore structure and flow. Severe collapses require excavation, but relining saves 70% of pipes previously requiring full replacement.
When You Need Pipe Relining
Common scenarios where pipe relining is the ideal solution
Recurring Tree Root Blockages
Tree roots return within months after cutting because they re-enter through the same cracks and joints. Pipe relining seals every entry point, creating a smooth barrier roots cannot penetrate—eliminating blockages permanently.
Drains Under Driveways & Buildings
Excavating beneath concrete driveways, paved areas, or building slabs costs $10,000-$30,000+ in demolition and reinstatement. Relining accesses pipes through existing inspection points—saving 60-70% in costs.
Cracked Pipes in Landscaped Gardens
Digging up established gardens, retaining walls, mature trees, and irrigation systems destroys years of investment. Pipe relining preserves landscaping by repairing drains from inside with zero excavation.
CCTV Shows Cracks or Damage
Camera inspections reveal cracks, root intrusions, or deterioration not yet causing total blockages. Proactive relining prevents emergency failures, sewage overflows, and the higher costs of crisis repairs.
Strata & Multi-Unit Properties
Shared drainage beneath multiple units, car parks, or common areas makes excavation disruptive and expensive. Relining minimises tenant disruption, avoids costly concrete cutting, and provides documented compliance for body corporate.
Commercial Properties & Businesses
Restaurants, hotels, and commercial buildings cannot afford days of closed toilets, excavated car parks, or disrupted operations. Relining completes repairs in 1-2 days with minimal business interruption.
How Our Pipe Relining Service Works
Professional trenchless pipe rehabilitation from start to finish
CCTV Drain Inspection & Assessment
We insert high-definition cameras into your drains to locate damage, measure pipe diameter, assess structural condition, and identify root intrusions. This footage determines if relining is suitable and provides precise measurements for liner fabrication. You receive full video documentation for insurance or strata records.
Hydro Jetting Pre-Cleaning
The pipe interior must be completely clean for epoxy resin to bond properly. We perform high-pressure hydro jetting to remove grease, scale, roots, and debris, then verify cleanliness with post-jetting camera inspection. This critical step ensures 50-year liner adhesion.
Custom Liner Preparation
We fabricate a felt liner to your exact pipe diameter and length, then saturate it with two-part epoxy resin specifically formulated for Australian plumbing standards. The resin is certified to AS/NZS 3500 and rated for potable water, sewage, and stormwater applications.
Liner Insertion & Inflation
The epoxy-saturated liner is inverted into your drain using water or air pressure, pressing it tightly against pipe walls. Multiple inflation methods ensure complete coverage around bends, through junctions, and past offsets—creating seamless coverage of damaged sections.
Curing Process
We cure the epoxy resin using hot water circulation, steam, or UV light depending on pipe accessibility and diameter. Curing takes 2-4 hours, transforming the flexible liner into a rigid, structural pipe that is stronger than the original. Temperature monitoring ensures complete polymerisation.
Cutting Junctions & Connections
Once cured, we use robotic cutters to precisely open junction connections, branch lines, and service entries. This restores full drainage flow to all connected fixtures while maintaining the liner's structural integrity throughout the system.
Final CCTV Verification & Warranty
A final camera inspection verifies perfect liner adhesion, confirms all junctions are properly cut, and documents the completed installation. We provide before-and-after footage, compliance certificates, and a comprehensive 50-year structural warranty on the relined section.
Advanced CIPP Pipe Relining Materials
Industry-leading epoxy resins and liner technology
High-Strength Epoxy Resin
Our two-part epoxy resin creates pipes stronger than PVC or concrete—rated for 5,000+ PSI compressive strength. Certified to AS/NZS 3500 plumbing standards and approved by Sydney Water for potable water, sewage, and stormwater applications.
Felt-Impregnated CIPP Liners
Polyester felt liners saturated with epoxy conform perfectly to irregular pipe surfaces, navigating bends up to 90 degrees and sealing around offsets. Available in diameters from 50mm to 300mm for residential and commercial applications.
UV & Hot Water Curing Systems
We utilise both steam/hot water curing (traditional method) and UV light curing (faster for accessible sections). UV curing reduces installation time to 2-3 hours while maintaining identical 50-year structural integrity.
Robotic Cutting Technology
Computer-controlled robotic cutters precisely open junction connections without damaging the liner. This technology ensures perfect alignment of branch lines and service connections for full system functionality.
Australian Standard Compliance
All materials and installation methods comply with AS/NZS 3500 (Plumbing & Drainage), AS 2566.2 (Buried Flexible Pipelines), and Sydney Water specifications. We provide full compliance documentation for council and strata approvals.
50-Year Warranty Guarantee
Every pipe relining installation includes a comprehensive 50-year structural warranty covering liner integrity, leaks, and root intrusion. Our epoxy resin systems have demonstrated 50+ year service lives in independent testing, outlasting traditional pipe materials in corrosive soil and high-flow conditions.

Independent Testing Validates 50+ Year Lifespan
The epoxy resin systems we use have undergone rigorous independent laboratory testing and real-world field evaluations. Studies show properly installed CIPP liners maintain structural integrity for 50+ years in corrosive soil conditions, high-flow environments, and under constant sewage exposure.
Unlike traditional pipes that deteriorate at joints and weaken over time, our seamless epoxy liners actually become more durable as they age—achieving maximum strength within the first month and maintaining that strength indefinitely. This is why we confidently warranty our work for 50 years.
