Common faults Common Pipe Relining Problems We Fix
Most of our local reline work traces back to a short list of recurring drainage faults across the original Housing Trust detached housing stock in the area, where sixty years of established street trees and mature backyard plantings along Walkleys Road and Beovich Road, the standard blocks laid out across the old Rowe family acreage, and intense Adelaide winter downpours have steadily worked on the original earthenware clay drainage. These are the problems trenchless repair handles best on the northern Adelaide blocks:
01
Tree-root intrusion through cracked clay joints
Sixty years of established street trees and mature backyard plantings across the grid streets off Walkleys Road and Beovich Road routinely send fine roots into cracked clay joints, and a trenchless liner seals those joints so the same roots cannot find their way back in.
02
Cracked clay sections feeding repeat blockages
The 1965 to 1975 Housing Trust sections were laid before PVC drainage became standard in Adelaide, where original earthenware joints have flexed and cracked through decades of ground movement, and a cured-in-place liner rebuilds the worst residential runs into one continuous inner wall.
03
Partially collapsed sections under aged residential runs
Decades of ground movement under standard Housing Trust blocks leave sagging or partly collapsed sections in residential drains, and a properly cured liner handles both fracture and minor inward collapse without digging up established yards.
04
Recurring blockages in the same run
A drain that blocks every few months after clearing usually has a structural defect feeding the issue, and relining fixes the underlying cause rather than chasing the symptom callout after callout.
05
Stormwater runs overloading on heavy winter downpours
Original mid-century stormwater runs and downpipes routinely overload during intense Adelaide winter rain pushing runoff across standard residential blocks toward the street kerb, and relining the stormwater run between pit and street main restores full capacity ahead of the next storm.
