Strata Managers

The ‘no dig’ sewer repair solution for strata and building managers

Pipe Relining Solutions provides an advanced solution to strata and building managers who have problems with cracked, leaking or root-infested drains and sewer pipes and want to minimise disruption to multiple owners and tenants occupying one building.

The last thing strata or building managers want is to deal with is the threat of tenants moving out when blocked drains or drainage problems become critical. We have years of experience working with strata managers, real estate agents and building managers helping them fix problems that can be time sensitive and sometimes very unpleasant.

Pipe relining is the ‘no dig’ sewer repair solution without excavation. This means we can repair sewer pipes with minimal disruption to the occupants of the residential or commercial properties you manage.

Pipe relining creates a completely new pipe inside the old one. This ‘pipe within a pipe’ is 100% watertight, stronger than PVC pipe, and has a life expectancy of 50 years. Read more about how ‘no dig’ sewer repair works.

Compared to the traditional dig and replace method of sewer repair, our pipe relining offers many benefits.

Top 7 benefits of ‘no dig’ sewer repair:

Minimal disruption
‘No dig’ means minimal disruption to the property. Most jobs can be completed in one day – without the mess and noise of excavation.
Save money and time
Save on the cost, time and hassle of restoring the property and landscaping.
More effective protection
Relined pipes have improved flow and more effective protection from root penetration than newly installed pipes.
Versatile application
Suitable for domestic, commercial and industrial pipes, sewers and drains from 100mm to 300mm wide with multiple bends, changes in pipe diameter, horizontal, vertical, concealed pipes and junctions.
Patch smaller sewer repairs
Patching to repair sewer lines is also possible – we can fix smaller or localised sewer issues with a patch or sectional sewer repair.
We can even reline old cast iron stacks in apartment blocks.
Our installation work is guaranteed for 35 years.

We use the state of the art, Watermarked Brawoliner® system that is the best performer in strict quality control tests in Germany and the UK.

Strata SOS

When a strata manager in Cremorne Point noticed a terrible sewerage smell, he put in an SOS to Pipe Relining Solutions. Our team resolved the issues quickly using a staged and collaborative approach to suit their priorities and budget.

Identifying the problem

Pipe Relining Solutions received an emergency call from a strata manager responsible for a multi-level block of residential units. A terrible sewer smell coming from one of the lower-floor units was making the property uninhabitable. With difficult access, inconvenience for residents and the potential for major health concerns, the pipe needed fixing fast.
PRS inspected the property and found the sewer line for six units was blocked by tree roots, broken and waste was flowing under the building, causing the smell and undermining the foundations. Access under the building was limited, and relining was the best option to minimise the risk of further damage to the pipe.

Quoting the job

The PRS team split the project into 2 stages: they issued a quote for emergency work to fix the immediate issue of the broken pipe, and a quote to fix cracks and breaks (caused by tree roots) found in the pipe work around the building. Understanding the constraints of strata buildings, PRS provided a detailed quote and options to the strata manager prioritising the urgency of the works needed. A staged approach solution allowed the strata to manage their budget and prioritise important work.

Stage 1: Emergency Works

The number one priority was managing potential health concerns from the sewerage. Pipe Relining Solutions' experts worked into the weekend to complete the emergency works so residents could return home. Clearing the pipe with a high-pressure water jet took the pressure off the broken pipe, slowing the flow of sewerage and allowing access to clean and dry the area before the pipe was relined. Pipe Relining Solutions coordinated the removal of waste from under the building. Using air repair disinfectant, they deodorised the sub floor to rid the building of any lingering odours.
The emergency work continued by relining to seal the earthenware to the PVC root infested joint. Followed by relining from the inspection opening to the main line.
Throughout the emergency work, Pipe Relining Solutions recorded all investigations and work using a CCTV camera, so the strata manager had a record for the strata committee. No digging was required to complete the emergency pipe repair, so the strata avoided the mess and the costs of cleaning up. The fast work of the team helped avoid a major health issue.

Stage 2: Repairs

Repairs of cracks and breaks in other pipe work within the building were identified as the next priority.
The team accessed the sewer stack and relined all the pipe work to the main line using Brawoliner.
Using an IMS robotic cutter, they reinstated the junction connections.

Understanding strata buildings

The Pipe Relining Solutions' team understands the complexities of strata buildings including the need for expert guidance and detailed quotes so you have confidence that costs won’t change and more meetings won’t be needed to put extra levies on owners. A staged approach may be the most suitable plan to ensure the strata fund is not depleted by the costs of the job in one go.
We can even attend your strata meeting to explain our processes and provide footage and images to help everyone understand the issues and the proposed solutions.
Our field experts are backed by an office team responsive to emergency calls, and ready to assist with questions from owners and disruption notices for onsite works.
From the first sign of a problem with damaged or broken pipes, Pipe Relining Solutions works with strata companies and committees to deliver, fast, efficient and permanent pipe solutions.
