Frequently Asked Questions
Can you reline a broken sewer pipe in Melbourne without digging?
Yes. Where the sewer pipe retains sufficient structural integrity, Sedcon Plumbing can repair it by pipe relining — installing a structural epoxy liner inside the existing pipe without excavation. Call 0468 013 012 for a CCTV assessment.
When does a sewer pipe need to be excavated and replaced in Melbourne?
Excavation and replacement is required when the pipe has collapsed or deformed beyond what relining can address. We assess the pipe condition via CCTV and recommend the most appropriate repair option for each situation.
Do you coordinate with the water authority for sewer repairs in Melbourne?
Yes. We obtain required permits and coordinate with Melbourne Water and the relevant water authority where required for sewer pipe repairs and replacements across Melbourne. Call 0468 013 012.
