How does the Blueline® system work?
Before any relining takes place, the drains must first be inspected and surveyed. We use a pipe camera to identify and locate the cause of the problem. The drain is then cleared using a high-pressure water jet – once the blockage is cleared, the pipe is then prepared for the liner installation.
Our liner is custom made from fabric that is impregnated with specially formulated two-part epoxy resin that sets hard, becoming a structural repair, in a matter of hours allowing minimal disruption and inconvenience.
Once the liner is prepared, it will be inserted through an opening in the drain. It is positioned in place with a camera and inflated, forcing the liner to take the shape of the pipe filling voids or cracks and lining over any damaged section. After the curing period, the internal bladder of the liner is removed, completing the process and making the drain ready for immediate use.
If you have broken pipes and are looking for a cost-effective, long-term solution to drainage issues, then we highly recommend pipe relining in Lismore.
With no digging required, this will not only save you time but cost as well. Best of all, we can repair your pipes without disturbing your lawn or garden. O’Brien Electrical and Plumbing Lismore’s pipe relining work comes with a 10-year installation guarantee with a 50-year manufacturer’s warranty*

Frequently Asked Questions
How does pipe relining differ from traditional pipe repair methods?
Pipe relining is a modern technique for repairing damaged pipes from the inside. Unlike traditional methods that often require digging up the old pipe, pipe relining involves inserting a flexible liner coated with a special resin into the existing pipe. This liner is then inflated. It bonds to the pipe’s interior and hardens to form a new, durable inner layer. This method is less invasive, quicker and often more cost-effective than traditional pipe replacement.
How long can I expect a relined pipe to last?
At O’Brien Electrical & Plumbing Lismore, we use Nuflow® technology to ensure your relined pipes are not just a temporary fix but a durable, long-term solution. This advanced method comes with a 10-year installation guarantee, providing you with a decade of assurance in the reliability of the work. Moreover, it also includes a substantial 50-year manufacturer warranty on the materials used. This impressive warranty period reflects confidence in the quality and durability of the materials and techniques employed in the pipe relining process.
What environmental advantages does pipe relining offer?
Pipe relining is a more sustainable option compared to traditional pipe repair methods. It reduces the need for extensive excavation, which means less disruption to the landscape and local ecosystems. This approach minimises soil disturbance, reduces the carbon footprint associated with heavy construction equipment and conserves resources by rehabilitating existing pipes rather than manufacturing new ones.
Is pipe relining suitable for complex plumbing systems in commercial properties?
Yes, pipe relining is adaptable and can be effectively used in complex plumbing systems typical of commercial properties. It’s ideal for repairing pipes located in hard-to-reach areas, under concrete slabs or within building structures, where traditional repair methods would be disruptive and costly.
What is the process of pipe relining?
The pipe relining process begins with a thorough inspection of the damaged pipe, usually using a camera. Once the problem area is identified, the pipe is cleaned, typically with a high-pressure water jet. The custom-made liner is then inserted into the pipe and positioned accurately. It’s inflated to mould to the pipe’s shape, filling any voids or cracks. After the resin cures and hardens, the internal bladder is removed, leaving a new pipe within the old one.
How does pipe relining differ from traditional pipe replacement in terms of cost?
Pipe relining is often more cost-effective than full pipe replacement, especially when considering indirect costs. Traditional replacement involves excavation, which can lead to additional expenses like landscape restoration and driveway repair. Pipe relining eliminates most of these additional costs, making it a budget-friendly option.
Are there any specific conditions where pipe relining might not be advisable?
While pipe relining is versatile, there are situations where it might not be the best solution. For example, pipes that have collapsed completely or have severe structural damage may not be suitable for relining. Additionally, pipes with sharp bends or junctions might pose challenges. A thorough inspection by a professional is essential to determine the viability of relining in each specific case.
What is the typical timeframe for completing a pipe relining project?
The typical timeframe for a pipe relining project varies, influenced by factors such as the size and length of the pipes, ease of access, the current condition of the pipes, the complexity of the job and the specific relining technology used. However, it is often much faster than traditional methods. For a precise estimate tailored to your specific needs, please contact our team.
How do I know if pipe relining is the right choice for my property?
The best way to determine if pipe relining is suitable for your property is to consult with our team at O’Brien Electrical & Plumbing Lismore. We can conduct a detailed inspection of your plumbing system, assess the extent of the damage and recommend the most effective repair method. Our team will guide you in making an informed decision about the best approach for your specific situation.
