Damaged or leaking sewer and stormwater pipes can cause serious problems in your home or business
Slow drains, unpleasant odours, ground subsidence, and even water contamination are all signs of pipe issues. Traditional pipe replacement can be invasive, messy, and expensive, often requiring excavation that disrupts gardens, driveways, or paved areas.

No-dig Sewer & Stormwater Pipe Relining
No-dig pipe relining is a modern method of repairing damaged sewer and stormwater pipes without excavation.
Instead of digging up your property, we insert a flexible resin liner into the existing pipe, which hardens to form a durable new pipe within the old one. This method addresses cracks, leaks, and root intrusions efficiently, reducing disruption to your home or business.
Our process also extends the life of your pipes and prevents future damage. We inspect the pipes with CCTV before and after relining to ensure accuracy and quality.
We deliver expert pipe relining solutions with minimal disruption, high-quality workmanship, and guaranteed results, leaving your beautiful garden intact.
1300 012 709Pipe Patch Repair
Pipe patch repair targets specific damaged sections of your sewer or stormwater pipes. Instead of relining the entire pipe, a resin patch is applied directly to the damaged area, sealing cracks and leaks and restoring structural integrity.
This method is ideal for small, localized problems, offering a fast, cost-effective alternative to full pipe replacement. We use advanced CCTV inspections to locate damage accurately and apply the patch precisely. Once cured, the patch creates a strong, seamless repair that lasts.
We provide targeted, reliable pipe repairs using modern no-dig technology, ensuring your pipes remain functional and problem-free with minimal disruption.
1300 012 709Customer Story: Partially Collapsed Sewer Repaired at a Sydney Hair Salon
A serious sewer problem at Stevie English Hair was traced to a collapsed or partially collapsed section of pipe.
The Friendly Plumbing team used pipe relining to repair the sewer without the story indicating that the whole damaged section needed to be dug out.
For Stevie, getting the plumbing working again mattered because water is essential to the salon.
“If our plumbing doesn’t work, we can’t work, right? So, we’re super grateful.”
The repair allowed the salon to keep operating. Leaving the damaged sewer untreated could have increased the risk of another blocked drain or wastewater backing up through the drainage system.
Recent Job: Pipe Relining at a Coogee Apartment Building
A blocked sewer beneath the driveway at this Coogee apartment building was cleared before Tom from Friendly Plumbing used a CCTV camera to inspect the line. He found several damaged sections further down the sewer where the pipe had moved out of place.
Tom and the team repaired the damaged section with pipe relining, creating a new smooth surface inside the existing pipe without digging up the driveway.
If the damage had become worse, repeat blockages could have continued and the driveway may have needed to be dug up to replace the sewer.
If the damaged joints had been left in place, the pipe could have become badly blocked or collapsed, causing water to back up around the property.
Recent Job: Damaged Drain Joints Relined at a Maroubra Property
The camera showed our plumber where the problem was inside the pipe. Once the affected section was found, we prepared the relining equipment and carried out the repair from inside the existing drain.
The damaged section was relined without needing to dig up a large area around the property.
A CCTV drain inspection helped us find the problem before choosing the repair.
If the damaged joints had been left in place, the pipe could have become badly blocked or collapsed, causing water to back up around the property.
Customer Story: Tree-Damaged Sewer Pipe Repaired at a Sydney Home
A blocked drain at a Sydney home turned out to be caused by tree roots and a broken pipe connection.
Our team showed the homeowner the camera footage and explained the repair and price. We then repaired the damaged section from inside the existing pipe and cleaned the sewer and sink lines.
“I didn’t have to do anything. They put everything back where it was, and the place was so clean.”
Without the repair, the roots could have continued to grow and caused repeat blockages or sewage to overflow around the home.
