DRAIN RELINING
MELTON
Fix cracked, broken, and root-damaged sewer pipes without digging up your property. L Ginger Plumbing is based right here in Melton West — same-day assessments, no-dig pipe repair, and a 70-year warranty on every job.
WHY MELTON PIPES KEEP FAILING
Many homes across Melton and Melton West — particularly those built before 2000 — still have original clay or earthenware sewer pipes underground.
Clay pipes crack over time. Once cracked, tree roots find the joints and grow in seeking moisture. They fill the pipe, cause repeated blockages, and the cracks keep getting worse. Clearing the blockage fixes the symptom. Relining the pipe fixes the cause — permanently.
We reline pipes from the inside. No digging, no destroyed garden, no concrete jackhammering. The process takes hours, not days, and the result is a seamless new pipe that roots can't penetrate.
Traditional Excavation
- ✕ Dig up yard, driveway, or garden
- ✕ Days or weeks of disruption
- ✕ Restoration costs on top of plumbing
- ✕ New pipe can still be penetrated by roots
No-Dig Relining
- ✓ Zero excavation
- ✓ Done in hours
- ✓ Property stays completely intact
- ✓ 70-year warranty — seamless, root-proof
OUR MELTON RELINING PROCESS
From CCTV inspection to warranty certificate — here's exactly what happens on the day.
CCTV Inspection
We send a Ridgid HD camera through the pipe to locate damage and identify the cause. You see the footage in real time so you know exactly what you're dealing with.
High-Pressure Jet Clean
The Ridgid KJ5000 water jetter clears every root, grease deposit, and debris from the pipe wall, preparing a clean surface for the liner to bond to.
Liner Installation
An epoxy-coated flexible liner is inserted into the damaged section and inflated. As it cures, it forms a seamless new pipe inside the old one.
Final CCTV & Warranty
We re-inspect with the camera to verify the repair is perfect. You receive a written 70-year warranty certificate.
WHAT WE CAN RELINE IN MELTON
Clay & Earthenware Pipes
The most common pipe type in older Melton homes. Prone to cracking and root intrusion — relining is the ideal permanent fix.
PVC Pipes
Cracked or offset PVC sewer pipes can be relined and sealed without replacement.
Concrete Pipes
Concrete storm and sewer pipes up to 350mm diameter can be successfully relined.
Cast Iron Pipes
Found in some older commercial buildings, cast iron pipes corrode from the inside — relining restores full flow.
Sewer Mains
We reline sewer main lines from inspection points with minimal disruption to the property.
Stormwater Drains
Stormwater and drainage pipes that have cracked or collapsed can be relined rather than excavated.
DRAIN RELINING MELTON — COMMON QUESTIONS
How long does drain relining take in Melton?
Most residential relining jobs in Melton are completed in 4-6 hours. Because we're based in Melton West, there's no travel delay — we're on site fast and get it done in a single visit where possible.
Do you need to dig up my yard for drain relining in Melton?
No excavation required. We access the pipe through existing openings like inspection points or cleanouts. Your garden, driveway, and landscaping stay completely intact.
Why do Melton pipes keep getting tree root blockages?
Many older Melton and Melton West homes have original clay sewer pipes. Clay pipes crack over time and tree roots grow in through the joints. Once the crack is there, roots will keep coming back unless the pipe is permanently sealed — which is exactly what drain relining does.
How much does drain relining cost in Melton?
Pricing depends on the length of pipe and extent of damage. We provide free, no-obligation quotes after a CCTV inspection. In most cases relining is cheaper than excavation once you factor in garden and concrete restoration costs.
What warranty do you provide on drain relining in Melton?
We provide a 70-year written warranty on all drain relining work. That's the strongest warranty in the industry — and we back it up with a paper certificate.
