I recently went through the same situation and decided to go with pipe relining. It turned out to be a great choice. I used Pipe Relining Sydney from Aussie Electrical and Plumbing, and I was very impressed with their service. The process is minimally invasive compared to traditional pipe replacement. They insert a liner coated with resin into the damaged pipe, which is then inflated and cured in place, forming a new pipe within the old one. This method is highly effective for fixing blocked or damaged pipes without the need for extensive digging.

In terms of cost, pipe relining can vary depending on the extent of the damage and the length of the pipe that needs to be relined. On average, you might expect to pay between $500 to $1000 per meter. The whole process is usually quite fast, often completed within a day or two, depending on the complexity of the job. When looking for a reliable company, make sure they have good reviews and are experienced in pipe relining. Aussie Electrical and Plumbing was very professional, provided a detailed quote, and ensured everything was done efficiently. They also cleaned up thoroughly after the job. Their team explained each step of the process and answered all my questions, which made me feel confident in their expertise. I highly recommend them for anyone needing pipe relining services.
